I think I have SWINE FLU!!!!

[RedRyder]

Ya I've had a fever since yesterday. My normal body temp is slightly below normal, usually around 97 degrees and I've been at 100 degrees since I first started feeling sick.

And I hardly do have energy to situp and type, but it gets incredibly boring laying down and staring at the tv all day. And when I stay in the same position, certain body parts get more sore. I left the house last night and drove down to 7-11 with my mom and I thought walking around was going to kill me!

For goodness sakes!!! Why would you go out and expose other people to your illness?

I just spotted this part.... Even if it's just a regular ole nasty flu or something viral..... This is not something you should have done. That is how things get spread..... even if you didn't sneeze or cough.... you could have touched something... like the store door handle or the counter or whatever.... and.... well I'm sure you know.

Tsk tsk..... Sorry.... That's the mother in me. My kid would never leave the house under any circumstances.
N E V E R!

Now be a good girl and get some rest. Drink loads of fluids.

I'll respond with this only. Bri is a fellow poster. She wants to be treated as an adult. To suggest that anyone here is "picking" on her or that anyone "jumps on EVERYTHING" she posts is untrue and insulting.

You do jump on everything I say, as well as everyone else you dislike, you jump on what they say too. Maybe not because of my age, but I know you don't like me and you do the same to others you don't like.

But... but... she a smart youngster, not your average run of the mill dumb youngster.

No one knows everything

Because on the news, not that long ago, they said they don't test for individual cases of swine flu anymore and we are assuming 90% of the people with symptoms have swine flu and they are to be treated the same as regular flu, antibiotics, fluids, and rest. Going to the doctor and being told I have swine flu or I don't and have the regular flu, is just going to be a waste of my time and money, when I would still be doing what I am doing now.

True dat. But you have to be very mindful of what the true symptoms are and if it get's bad enough where your respiratory system is in trouble that's when you have to take some quick measures. That's what's killin' those that are dying from it. The Hershey Squirts just wear out a different part of your body.

So, none of my posts with you about your animals, your debate team, your mom and your relationship, etc where we chatted and where you even repped me was "picking" on you? Bri, even in this post none of the participants here are "picking" on you. And as to liking you, I like you fine. You are very young and your opinions will change as you age and one day, you may even like old guys.....

I'm the same way sweetie.... I get all antsy and such.... but..... I stay in bed or on the couch and suffer through it.... Movies, Naps, Beverages, Food, Naps, Butler Service -- love that part!

Plus.... I have acreage..... If I really have the energy and want to get out of the house.... I take a short stroll around the property. Depending on weather of course. Don't want to make myself any sicker at the same time.

You have acreage? I wanted to go to the farm, but I don't want to get my animals sick... and it's snowing now so it's probably a bad idea and I feel like I want to leave, but I walk a few steps and lose all energy, fall over, and die....

Oops.. I forgot we don't pay for doctor visits here.

In reality I have to be very flu sick before I see a sawbones and I'm in a high risk category. I don't like to waste their or my time.

Lucky bastards! Someday... it's actually only like 15$ copay, but I really don't want to leave the house. Okay well I want to leave the house but I don't have the energy too.

Yep. Trails going all around and throughout. Excellent exercise. However.... when ill... it's best to just step out on the veranda.... I refer to my porch as a veranda because it sounds so lovely.... so I step out on the veranda and look about and breath in the fresh air. That of course depends on the weather and which way the wind is blowing.... Cows about a mile over....

Mrs. Guyzerr and me had a nice couch and loveseat ( unused :mad ) that I just gave away cuz I hated it. It was too short for napping on. I couldn't stretch out and would wake up after a nappy-poo with all sorts of cramps and stuff so............. last Saturday we, it was my idea, went and bought a new set. It's plenty long enough now and naps real good. Kirby, Mrs.Guyzerrs cat likes it a lot as well. We fought over it the two times I've wanted it. I won! :24:

Next time you get a chest cold let me know and I'll come and rub some Vicks on it if you know what I mean.

Selective energy spurt?

My couch is quite long enough and definitely very comfy with plush cushions. I too have to share with my cat.... We never fight over it. He prefers the arms. I get the rest as I see fit.

*cough cough* Oh my! Do hurry......... :cool

I made a big mistake considering we have two pussy's loafing around. It's a very nice set with that special fabric that cats love. Did I ever tell you cats don't have ears. Well they don't because when I tell 'em to stop scratching they don't hear me. I actually have to get up off my rocker-recliner and chase 'em away. The upside is after a week of having this stuff in the house they don't make me jump up very often anymore. I'm starting to like pussy(s) again.
