Featured Replies

  • Super User

On Monday I turned 30 and found out that I may have swine flu. Over the weekend I had a scratchy throat and felt a little lethagic. Yesterday, I woke up feeling like a train ran over me. I had a temp of 103*, body ache, bad headache, chest congestion, cough etc. The worst part is the having chills one minute and sweating the next. I went to the doctor and they said everything points towards H1N1 virus since the flu does not usualy occur this time of the year.  I will know for sure next week. In the mean time I am taking tamiflu, mucsionex, and aspirin for fever.

Wish me luck.

Man that is terrible... My birthday is coming up here (Aug 17) and wont be much better.  I'm having all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed that day.  To boot, my wife tells me she had scheduled a 2 day small mouth fishing trip on lake Michigan with a guide for me and a friend that will now have to be pushed back  >:( .  I normally would rather push back the wisdom teeth removal but these things have got to go asap.

Just make sure you don't start growing a little curly tail and you will be just fine.   :D

Seriously though, hope you feel better.  I just battled through flu symptoms for the last week or so.  I didn't go get it checked though.  I figure if it gets to the point I call in to work then I "might" go to the doctor.   ;)

Good luck and keep us informed of your status and progress.

Happy Belated Birthday

Thanks for the kind words. Today is the 5th day since I began feeling any symptoms. I hope this ends real soon. I am ready to fish!
