On swine flu

31.August, 2009

My symptoms were:-
sore throat
headaches
muscle aches
runny nose
a slight case of dizziness
loss of appetite
Nausea
Lethargy/ tiredness

Did I panic and flail about the place and think I had this infamous ’swine flu’?

No; I just got through my day as though it were any other, took some medicine for my sore throat (which worked), and then some strong pain killers later in the day for my headache and muscle aches. I decided to just wait and see what happens, and if my health deteriorated then I’d go to the doctors.

I now only have a runny nose and an occasional dry cough (obviously where my body is trying to expell the virus)

Basically; as with most things the media gets a hold of, I think they’re just making a mountain out of a mole hill, and they’re scaring people to try and make news.

If you’re ill, go to the doctors and get checked out… If not; then just get on with life.

Obviously if you’ve got a low immune system then make sure you take precautions; like wash your hands before you eat etc etc and if you’re worried that you’re ill; then go to your GP.

Just use your common sense and don’t let it freak you out.

    But then again it could very well just be that; just a slight loss of appetite and a sore throat; and nothing else.
    The only time you need to worry is if your health deteriorates. Don’t go doing anything silly like panic; or instantly ume that you have this illness you keep seeing on the news all the time. Just get on with life; and if you find that you get more ill; then go see your doctor. I doubt it’s anything to worry about; so don’t go panicking ^_^

    That’s Influenza …
    That’s Influenza actually. And if it is ’swine flu’, then I must be wonder woman; considering it’s nothing more then a rare cough and a bit of a stuffy nose now. My illness has passed now and it’s just the last phases of any regular flu. Plus if it was this infamous virus then I think my partner; my kids; and my pets; would have caught it by now, so I think you are mistaken ‘doctor’.

    I am a doctor, and I was igned to check out the videos on Swine Fluenza. It also looks like you have it! I am very sorry, and this is not a joke. Please proceed to your closest hospital, and you will be hospitalized for a couple of days. Very, very, very, sorry!
