sh*t!!!!!! swine flu in Skellefteå

Qu Appelle said:
I don't know about Skellefteå, but guess where the swine flu is hitting really hard? Seattle! And guess who probably has it?! ME!!!

The rogue visitor glomped on last weekend, and wow it is miserable. The fever broke already, but the cough is lingering (and painful). However, the worst symptom? The fatigue. OMG the fatigue. All I want to do (and have been doing) for the most part is sleeping, with an occasional bout of video games and reading things on the Internets.

(Ironically enough, we have the vaccine here, but not at my doctor's office. So I couldn't get it even if I wanted to. I got my Seasonal Flu vaccine last week to no ill effects.)

So, yeah. You don't want this shit, and I'd highly recommend getting the swine flu vaccine ASAP.

Sorry to hear about it, I hope you get better soon. A couple of friends of mine in the US had the swine flu as well, but they are ok now.

Aaaaaand, good luck with the side effects of the vaccine :)

Yeah, I've done that too - but *I'm* not the rotting away from cancer. I am the one, however, with the possible swine flu.

And yes. I'll concentrate on not dying. That's really the top priority. I did get advice from my doc and braved the outside for supplies, so now I'm stocked up with chicken soup, orange juice, honey, cough lozenges, NyQuil Flu Medicine, and chipotle-habanero potato chips.

:lol: looks like you got enough stuff!
 
By the way, you can't call it swine flu anymore. When the swine flu started, a lot of countries went berserk and start killing pigs. I think Egipt killed almost every pig in the country.
Then, the biggest pig producers in the world (like Brazil), pressured the big guys to stop calling it swine flu. So, it changed to H1N1. But that reminds everybody about Star Wars, so now is just A.
So, call it A, please.
 
here they call it swine flu as well as mexican flu.

Qu Appelle, i worry about you, please get better soon and let us know you're alright! :cry: I really hope it's not the swine flu after all!

I will.

Dystonia can't kill me.
Asthma can.

I already have both.

Therefore, I'm getting the vaccine when it comes out. I already got one, and had no ill effects. (Ironically enough, last year's vaccine made my Dystonia worse - but I still got this year's. Because of the asthma.)

You know how you can get immunity from the H1N1 if you won't get the vaccine? Go out and get the actual disease. So I encourage you to go do just that to build up your immunity now, and then come back and tell me how it went. :ill: You probably will pick it up, sooner or later. Best get it out of the way!

(As for me, I'm feeling better. The fever is gone, and it only messed with my asthma a little bit - but it definitely made it worse. Now I'm just weak, and sleeping a lot to recuperate.)
 
how is it going in your contries with the flu?
here it's total panic :lol:
vaccines are not avaible yet, some people have died, most of them had previous illnesses, but some (4-5 people, including 2 children) not...
so people are scared.
i don't know what to think.
i don't even know if i'm going to do the vaccine.
some doctors say yes, some no. if they don't agree each other, what do we have to think? :lol:
i think i'm between those categories who have to do the vaccine....but i've not decided yet what to do :Smug:
 
few weeks ago i saw in the news that an absolutely healthy 14 y.o. girl had died because of the swine flu. She got sick at a party on friday and monday she was dead. :ill::ill: This was the first time in the country that somebody died who was absolutely healthy. This was the first time i got a bit worried (i didn't give a shit before). They also said in that newsflash that 33% of all flu patients turn out having the swine flu. And that 50% of all who get sick (or died?) was younger than 25.
i'm not in any risk groups so i'm not going to get a vaccine unless the gothernment really tells me to. A week or so ago after Aurora Infernalis Fest i thought i got it from somebody in the venue (it was really packed there!) but oh well, it was really nothing :)
Other than ocassional news, life goes on as usual, i haven't noticed any panic around...

last weekend i went to a fair called "Lucca Games and Comics". it's a must for comics readers, role playing gamers, manga and cartoons addicted and such fantasy-nerdy stuff.
it's the most famous fair in italy, it's really big and crowded. people come from all over the country, the fair lasts 4 days from the morning to the evening, and on night there are concerts, role playing games, costume play competitions....
i was there and i thought exactly the same thing as you "this is the time i'm gonna get it!" :lol:
but i'm still alive...for now :lol:

Yeah something like that happened in Canada to a 13 year old. It didn't happen to the woman who was eaten by coyotes, though.

I always get a bit paranoid because I have diabetes and asthma, so if I get the swine flu, bye bye Defiance :ill: . But I wonder how much is an exaggeration from the media, how much from the government, and how much is just Novartis trying to make more €€€€€.

I think it's all a conspiracy because of the crisis: Everything was fine, then PUM! Swine flu appears, everyone gets all paranoid and starts buying cleaning/health products (anti-bacterial soap, etc.) and so the companies make a lot of money. I don't know what's real or what's a masquerade.

funny that novartis has an industry right in my region, Tuscany, and we don't have the vaccine yet :lol:

the fact is that a lot of italians are refusing to do the vaccine because you have to sign a document to accept all the risks (thing that doesn't happens with the regular flu-vaccine), so people are getting scared and paranoid about this.

:zombie: wow, so it's pretty much self-explanatory: "We'll cure you of the H1N1, but we're not sure of the side effects. Heck, you may get Cancer but you can't do a thing. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Here the company tried the vaccine on 750 people, and they won't give it to the country for free. D'oh, obvious.

They're not totally evil, they give my mom her Gleevec (a pill for the strange Cancer that she has) for free.

And I was once in Switzerland and passed by the main headquarters, you can really tell where all the money goes.

yes it is. so i'm not sure what to do. i'm gonna ask my doctor next week :Smug:
something like only the 15% of doctors did the vaccine, and they were supposed to do it all, for being always in contact with ill people. if doctors don't do the vaccine, well, it is, like you said, self-explanatory.

the tv said that all the vaccines will be ready for the end of november or december.... oh well take it easy novartis, we have to wait only 1-2 months.... it is NOT so much time :zombie:
i googled and i discovered that the norvatis industry here is the only one in the country that makes vaccines, so in case of need, i'm gonna do a robbery :lol:

so how are you doing there? already getting a bit better i hope?

I'm essentially all better, thanks! In talking to my doc and to various people, yup - I definitely had the flu, and only Swine Flu is in the Seattle area. I was sick for a week and a half. However, on Monday I was able to go back to work, despite only feeling 80%, and today I feel pretty back to normal. I just fatigue a little easier than before and my stamina is shot, but I haven't done any exercise in over two weeks now. I have a pretty sedentary job, however. So once I get to work, I don't have to move around a whole lot if I don't want to. I missed my company's Halloween party, however. We had a haunted house and everything.

This week I'm taking it easy, but starting next week I'll start working on my stamina by taking longer walks. I can either catch the light rail to work at the stop by my house, or I can walk 1 k to the next stop - as a workout, I'll often take that kilometer walk.
