Default I Had The Swine Flu

I can tell you it was not fun. About 2 weeks ago I got sick, fever-chills, cough and then got better. About 4 days after that I went down a lot worse and basically had about 5 days straight of a 101ish fever that didn't break and sweating through absolutely everything. Probably changed clothes 3 to 4 times a day and twice at night. Forget sheets, I slept on towels and wrapped my pillows in towels. I will say to anyone thinking about getting the vaccine that they should consider it. It sucked. Feeling better now, but they put me on antibiotics to make sure I didn't get a secondary infection while my immune system was down. Finally able to get back to work.

No they should not consider getting the vaccine. Glad you're ok though.

I agree, the RN's and MD's at my school are highly against it. At this point more negatives then positives.

Look I just said to consider it, I have no need to get it now and I'm not telling people to get the vaccine, but if you are pregnant woman you should consider mainly b/c of early child birth if you get the flu.

Many people of the Asian persuasion wear protective masks on the busses and trains here. I decided tonight it is probably a cultural thing but maybe not so bad of an idea these days. I really cannot afford to get sick.
