I fear I may be coming down with something as well. I have no symptoms, but I'm completely zapped of energy after sleeping for the majority of the day. I'm hoping it's due to my streak of 4 hrs sleep for 4 consecutive days and nothing more. Popping the vitamins like Acie pops zits (he's 14 right?).
 
I applaud my mother for making me drink hot green tea. I'm not a tea fan and I don't care for the taste of this, but I have to admit this has had phenomenal effects on my throat. It's the only thing that's brought me any relief. Throat sprays/lozenges/oral ointment no longer provide me any numbing effects, only more stinging pain. Green tea :kickass:
 
i feel lethargic too for the last 4-5 days as well. the weather has been nuts in NYC and that's fucking with me also. went from a 40-50 degree streak to now 70 degrees.

hope you feel better Cara ... you are officially the first person I know that has the H1N1 :loco:
 
Thanks Lurch :)

Hot showers FTW! :kickass:

If you really get this then be prepared to take baths. I didn't have the energy to even stand in the shower for 10 minutes. Speaking of which, I just took a bath and threw in whatever menthol/minty/aromatic crap I could find, meaning Vicks Vapo-Rub, peppermint extract (yes from the kitchen, what you would put in food), and lavender oil. Quite pleasant.

Green tea rocks for your throat. I also enjoy the taste, especially jasmine tea
 
Had to go back to the doctor this morning for my damned throat. Yesterday the lesion on my tonsil became just totally raw, has been bleeding, and constantly stings like hell. Can't eat, can't drink, can't sleep. No sprays or lozenges I've tried help. I took a 800 mg ibuprofen last night and it didn't even phase it. Literally shook in pain all night long, and I have a high pain tolerance.

They did a strep test, too. Came back negative, meaning that this is probably viral after all and part of the pig flu. Lost 4 pounds since I went in on Monday. Fortunately I now have some nice steroids and hydrocodone. Kick in already!

Good article on swine flu. Number 4 is right on target ahahaha: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2009/10/what_to_expect_when_youre_expe.html
