When I was in the emergency room we had this hilarious conversation: he said that he had made a plane reservation, and that he would definitely come if I had pneumonia and would probably come even if I didn't. So when the test results came back that I did have pneumonia he went home to pack. :-)</p> <p>I'm doing better and better. I guess it will take a couple weeks to get back to 100% and I'm still pretty weak, but I'm not so sick anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-103003 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:34:35 +0000 Ana 103003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank goodness you are out of the hospital.

I'm sorry! I've been obsessively washing my hands and using hand sanitizer because I know so many people who are sick right now and I don't envy them (you!) at all. Take care of yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102932 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:58:09 +0000 Maya 102932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Medusa I'm so sorry to hear you were in the hospital! How awful. I had pneumonia when I was 7 and it was miserable. So glad you're doing better!</p> <p>I'm starting to feel crummy today. Hope I didn't catch anything on the train this week, or I won't be able to go for my interview on Tues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102931 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:52:47 +0000 medusa 102931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone, THANK YOU so much for all the good wishes.</p> <p>I didn't post any updates because I developed pneumonia as a complication and spent Wednesday-Friday in the hospital. I'm doing vastly better now and very happy to be home. I guess it will take weeks to fully recover from the pneumonia. It is not very fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102299 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:36:05 +0000 shana 102299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that it has hit your part of the country too! I am pretty sure our whole family had it a couple of weeks ago, even the kids. They're not testing any longer in these parts too. My little one still has a lingering cough leftover as he was the last one to get it. But we all survived and honestly, I hope that it was the swine flu because I'd like to build up some immunity to it now at the start of the flu season. </p> <p>Personally, I would not feel comfortable taking the new H1N1 vaccine - it has been rushed to the market without rigorous testing because of the fears of a pandemic virus. In the last swine flu scare in the 70's, thousands of people (which I know is small compared to the millions who received it) developed Guillain-Barre syndrome because of the vaccine.</p> <p>I'm sorry to hear that this has caused you to delay your trip. But the best place for you to be right now is in bed resting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102293 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:24:43 +0000 anne 102293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor Medusa, how horrible to be going through this on your own! Good that you got Tamiflu. Like Shiny's town, there stopped testing in my town (we just went through winter) and seemed only to give tamiflu to high risk people. However they now have a vaccine and people over 10 can get it for free ( I had mine a few weeks ago) funded by the Australian government (it will be free for kids too I expect- they just haven't got the vaccine right yet). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102289 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:22:03 +0000 Anonymous 102289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, dear. I had it 2 weeks ago. 4 of the longest days of my life..so I feel your misery. Just rest, sip fluids and let your body recover. Feel better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102287 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:20:46 +0000 susand 102287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Medusa...take care of yourself. It is making its rounds in Minnesota too. I was lucky enough to get the H1N1 flu mist last Friday (I work at a health care clinic). I hope there is someone around to pamper you and bring you chicken noodle soup. </p> <p>It *really* will pass and you will get better...although from what I hear, at times it doesn't feel that way.</p> <p>Be Well...Susan D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102283 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:45:45 +0000 Louise 102283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no how awful take care.<br /> On a lighter note watch those delusions and internet shopping we don't want you ordering bad ppl trousers and the like thinking they are fashionable! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102275 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:16:17 +0000 velvetychocolate 102275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you feel better soon! I had this (well, it wasn't confirmed, but I'm pretty sure it was the same thing) a couple of months ago too. Not fun. Lotsa soup, tea and sleep. I took Advil too, and that helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102263 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:19:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 102263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you're feeling better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102262 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:18:43 +0000 RoseandJoan 102262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Medusa, that's rotten luck, you take care of yourself.

My brother had it a while ago and it seemed basically like regular flu. He only suspected it wasn't because his boss was confirmed to have it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102208 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:29:45 +0000 shiny 102208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. I am pretty sure I had this a few months back - I did see the doctor (near the end of it) but our town had stopped testing. He said it was "likely" H1N1 because it was going around our town and all tested cases were coming back positive so they were no longer bothering to test unless a case became critical enough for the ER. </p> <p>For me the symptoms were:</p> <p>- high temp: got up as high as 104 without tylenol; around 102 with tylenol<br /> - horrible muscle aches - bad enough to wake me up; luckily, these only lasted a day or two<br /> - awful headache<br /> - chest pains (the most alarming symptom for me, but again, it only lasted about a day)<br /> - cough, exhaustion and fatigue </p> <p>The worst of it was over in about 2-3 days, but the fatigue and cough lingered for over a week. Nobody else in our house came down with it, not even my DH, which I thought was interesting. </p> <p>Stay in bed, take care of yourself, get some rest... you'll be over it in no time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102207 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:26:55 +0000 marianna 102207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Medusa! That is awful. Take care of yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102206 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:05:54 +0000 kimlee 102206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that you get well soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-h1n1-flu#post-102205 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:53:58 +0000 rute 102205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you get well soon!<br /> My brother had a month ago and he had only fever. It was not complicated. You'll feel better soon, you'll see!<br /> The worse is not be allowed to leave the house for 7 days.. no shopping... </p>
