wantabunch Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Here's an account of what it was like for one person. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-...u.html?ITO=1490 Link to comment

TurtleMama Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yowzers, the lady on Whatabunch's link had it something awful. I hope your hubby feels better soon, S.K., and that you don't catch this stuff along with him. Link to comment
ANewMe Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 So sorry to hear about you DH, S.K....hope that he feels better soon and that you don't get it. Be cautious, but look on the bright side if it is Swine it could be a good thing since most seem to only have it mild because it would mean he had already been exposed and maybe built up some antibodies by our actual flu season.

finklet Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 My DH has been sick since last Wednesday night with "a non-specific non-viral influenza". The doctor tested him for H1N1 on Thursday and it was negative. The doctor is calling DH illness "non-specific non-viral flu". DH has all classic flu type symptoms and is a regular old grouchybutt. I am keeping him home from work again today since he still has a fever. He is on heavy duty antibiotics. Link to comment
TurtleMama Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Non viral influenza? I thought flu was, by definition, a virus...that's interesting! LOL I'll have to google that one! I hope that his antibiotics kick in soon and he stops being grouchy... Link to comment
S.K. Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 my husband is feeling better i called the DR. to see if they would give him lab work for him to see if they would check to see if it was Lyme disease they said no he had to come in. all my Dr. wanted was the money. i do think know that it was some kind of virus Link to comment
finklet Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I wondered about that too. I thought the flu was viral. He's still sick as all get out and off work again today. Link to comment
S.K. Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 my husband started last Tuesday, spent all weekend in bed. yesterday was feeling better went to work and came home by evening he started to feel bad again. last year in March me and all 6 of my kids had the flu bad ( hubby never got it he was working nights) it took me over a month to feel better.

wantabunch Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Some more stories of what it's like to have Swine Flu. I'm really not looking forward to this whole thing. I have 4 small children (youngest is just 4 months old) and a diabetic husband. This flu could be disastrous for us. I'm trying to be as aware -- and as prepared -- as possible. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_...icle6722264.ece http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...ll-stories.html Link to comment

Ambergris Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We have flu in the house. One of the boys is curled up in bed with a fever and mild to severe bodily aches. The plan is to get him to the doctor tomorrow for testing. No, he's not insured. Also, I've developed a cough and mild fever. We're both on oscillo and everyone in the house is on large doses of C. Is there another name for Vitamin D3 that store clerks might be familiar with? Link to comment
Ambergris Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good news: I don't have flu. Bad news: I have early-stage bronchitis, and the asthma I was told I outgrew as a small child is baaaaack. Link to comment
