i had it then it turned into pnumonia and put me in the hospital.just got out of quarentine.hope to get out soon
What do you want to know about it? I've exhibited all of the signs since Monday night. My fever is gone, and most of the body aches, as well as the throbbing headaches and chills. What remains is a raspy noise in my chest (possible pneumonia symptom) and slight fatigue, in spite of being in bed 20 hours a day for the last 4. Oh yeah..the cough is still there.
Media Frenzy? Everything is a media frenzy. That much is true. The H1N1 strain is different in it's attack on the respiratory system. I've witnessed that first hand. I can state with certainty that this is one bad boy flu bug. The worst I've had in 50 years.

Oh my so much whining, Its the flu. Get over it. Nyquil it to death. It's the who cares if I live or die medicine. I don't get paid sick days so I just skip the whole flu scene. 1 shot Hot dam, 1 shot Nyquil. works every time. H1N1 flu antidote.
Polarisrider... I tried the flu bomb.. It snucks!
Here's a better one
Rocks glass with ice
1 shot of Nyquil
2 shots of Jaegermeister
Dash of lemon juice
packet of Sugar in the Raw
top off with Red Bull
MUCH tastier than the previous Flu Bomb. Also, after three or four of these, you cant even remember what "Flu" is!!!
Cheers!

You can't watch any news show without some mention of the H1N1 flu update. The media frenzy is sending to many people in a panic. I am a nurse in a hospital whose supply of H1N1 testing kits are quickly being depleted due to the fact that anyone with any aches and pains, cough, fever, sore throat etc. wants to be tested for H1N1 and receive treatment. One woman was so desperate to be started on Tamiflu that she insisted that she knew she had the "swine flu" because she had gotten bit by a pig.....:/
I agree...The flu is the flu. We may all get sick for a week and I am sure that it will affect us all in some way. Why don't we have this sort of coverage for all the people that actaully die from cancer each day in the US?
I can't wait for shark attack season again, then H1N1 will fall off the radar.

It's a scare tatic so the gov. don't get stuck with alot of vacines like they did a few yrs. back. Create a demand for the product, sell the vacine. make money. Sure we all get the flu every so often, and it sucks, thats life.

Gov stuck with vaccines? I've been on active duty with the Army for over 19 years now. Long story short, my wife took my 3 kids last week to get the regular flu shot, and she was told they were all out "indefinately". If dependents can't get a reg flu shot, we have a major issue with our gov't. It's a sad day when a civilain can go down the local drug store and pay $25 for a shot, and a Soldier's family is told were out "Indefinately" NO???

All flu viruses are not created equally. Each strain is slightly different and each year they try and figure out what strains will be prevalent and then inoculation comes from those efforts to hit the right ones....some years it works, and some it doesn't.
What makes the H1 different is the way it has developed and modified itself so quickly. How this H1 affects you depends a bunch on how strong your health is at the moment, how susceptible your system is to flu in general (how does your body handle the virus) and other things that would take forever to explain here.
This flu has shown amazing transformations...and it is NOT your ordinary flu bug. It might mutate into a very very nasty bug which NOT unlike world war one vets, MORE PEOPLE DIED FROM THE FLU THAN FROM BULLETS AND BOMBS. These were otherwise healthy MEN, not children.
This bug is sweeping across the planet right now with wild fire speeds. Surely most of you who scoff at all this news must realize that the depth and speed this virus is moving is NOT like the usual flu bugs we have endured in the past.
Here's the good news....this can sweep around the globe several times coming back each time slightly different than what it was like the first time thru, and infecting you again, and again.
This is why the CDC is so concerned, and when you realize that this thing can kill you...your attitudes will likely change.
If you're lucky, it will be like ordinary flu...over and done in 24 hours...but if you aren't lucky...well, make sure you leave your sled to this writer who warned you about the chances of you gettin into heaven first. We all know about the snowball chance factor, right???
Life is a fast spin, and then you die...what can I say!
Smart people aren't fooling with this one...get the shot and be around next winter to laugh again.

It seems like a well orchestrated campaign to scare everyone from looking at the real problems of the day. Unemployment, underemployment, slowly rising gas prices, a recession that is slow to respond to the "stimulus" package, etc. We can focus on H1N1 now, and for the next 6 months, but regardless, what else is getting done in government? Absolutely nothing!!!!

Love that flu bomb drink i'll have to try it if i get sick! but i dont know about the "its just the flu" thing over 1000 people have died already.
Well said anonomoose. What's especially alarming is the rate at which children are dying.
It's only a matter of time before a really nasty pandemic sweeps the globe, both past and recent history show that we are overdue. Will the H1N1 turn out to be that much feared high mortality pandemic? Only time will tell.
For the folks who want to think it is just the governments attempts to draw attention away from domestic issues, Oh well what ya gonna do, at least it ain't Ebola.
