H1N1 Recovery

[Miss Daisy]

So I'm sure that at least a few of you have wondered where I've gone off to, as I really haven't been posting much here lately.

Well, as the title suggests, I've had the H1N1 virus for the last two weeks and haven't been doing much of anything except wishing for death. Even death has to be better than this, right? I haven't been this sick in.. well, probably ever.

And to top it all off? I got a call this morning from the mom of the little boy I take care of (I'm a PCA) and she fired me so she could hire her boyfriend instead -_- after her kid gave me the flu in the first place and I spent over $300 in medical bills between me and my ferrets (they caught it from me). So now I'm broke, jobless and christmas is just around the corner.

Thanks, lady.

I guess to make this a discussable topic, has anyone else come down with the swine flu?

[BEAST]

That sucks big time.

Had it for a little while. Got it off a friend who suffered badly and must have watered it down for me.

[Butterfly]

Ohmigosh how terrible



I got vaccinated for it already. It hurt like a bug bite.

I was told that people in my age bracket have an immunity to it. After hearing this I'm praying they were right.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

[D]

Damn, you had it bad.

I had it for about four days in which I was pretty ill for two of them but still not too severe. Sounds like you really had it rough. hope you're alright

[Joy]

I knew you were missing. Darn, you got hit all the way around. What meds did you take for it?

I have not had the flu, and if anyone gives it to me, I'm going to tell them about it. If I know who they are. So far only a couple of cases have been reported in this county.

I am glad you are feeling healthier, but sorry you are jobless now.

[Owlstar]

That sucks. I hope you find a new job!

I got it a few weeks ago from my sister. I felt like crap, ugh. I felt tired all the time and was so weak. As I had already had the regular flu a few years ago so I wouldn't of gotten it again and this time I had the flu symptoms, that's what my mom says she believes it was. It was terrible. >.<

[Ameline]

ouch, That stinks. I'm glade your ok but i'm sorry to hear about you losing your job.

Wow, just wow. Sorry to hear about all your bad luck.

I was admitted 3 weeks ago with what they thought was swine flu, but i was negative for it. I ended up having a strep infection in my blood.
I'm avoiding people like poison until I'm recovered from this strep. I don't think I could handle the flu too.

[Dumezil]

I'm sorry Miss Daisy. Your poor ferrets too.

Luckily I haven't gotten it yet. Hopefully I won't. Missing so much school would kill my grades.

[HoudiniDerek]

Glad you are better now, Miss Daisy. I had it and mono for about a week before I kicked the worst of both aspects.

You should sue that lady for backpay and the medical bills.

[elli]

Aw, sorry to hear about your job. ): What you should do is, if you're still sick, hang around her until she gets it... Okay, that's terrible. Don't do that.

I think I had it a few weeks ago. To be honest, I didn't really notice. But I had all the symptoms. Just wasn't tested. It was probably just the regular ol' flu, but I like to think it was the Pig AIDs so I can pretend I'm immune to it now. (:

[Miss Daisy]

Thanks everyone. For the most part I feel better, I've just got a cough remaining and trying to get all the crap out of my lungs. I've been so exhausted the last two weeks that even a trip upstairs was rough on me. But Dane grabbed some Mucinex after work last night and that seems to be helping more than anything else has and I actually got some sleep last night.

Joy, they gave me Robutussin with Codine at the dr's office. I went through it in about three days and needless to say it didn't really help. Then they refused to give me more meds saying I should have more left and if not to take regular cough medecine or Nyquil -rolls eyes-. I went through two bottles of Nyquil already.

Dave, I did have it pretty bad from what I can tell. I'm at the two week mark and I'm still sick enough that if I had a job, I wouldn't be able to work. I've heard that most people get over it in under a week, must just be my immune system throwing a jab at me.
