Raina Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yep you read right I've been ill for the past few days, so my mum rang the doctors today and they are very worried. They said i'm showing ALL the signs of Swine Flu So they said i can't leave the house and that i need a Flu buddy (Someone to go and fetch the meds i need) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) I saw on the news that the Gov't is stopping trying to prevent spread now and just concentrating on treatment...so I thought that meant that there was no need to quarantine people? How are you feeling though? Hope you feel better soon! Edited July 3, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrensWorld Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I saw on the news that the Gov't is stopping trying to prevent spread now and just concentrating on treatment...so I thought that meant that there was no need to quarantine people? How are you feeling though? Hope you feel better soon! Guardian on-line edition:- "More than 100,000 people could be diagnosed with swine flu every day by the end of August, the government said, announcing that the disease can no longer be contained in the UK." I think the media tends to hype it up. Raina I'm sure you'll be up and about in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Get well soon, Raina. Just noticed you are in Walsall, we are the country's hotspot here in the West Midlands, so you aren't alone. Take it easy, normal flu is awful, I've had it three times, rarely get colds though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raina Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks everyone The great thing about it is everyone is doing stuff for me My mum & younger sis kept joking saying i would probably be the first in our family to get it My mum had a call from the doctors 24mins ago, saying that there is a health center or something like that, that they have to get my meds from. They don't even want to test me, They said they have stopped testing for it in the West Midlands, they are just giving the tablets to anyone that has 2 or more of the Symptoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I hope that you dont mind me asking but do you have a bad cough? I am convinced that my OH has had it but no one here is very interested. He has been for a chest xray today but despite him having had virtually every symptom bar going to Mexico no one has considered it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I saw on the news that the Gov't is stopping trying to prevent spread now and just concentrating on treatment...so I thought that meant that there was no need to quarantine people? advise is the same as for normal seasonal flu, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF the virus seems to be mild as far as influenza goes but can still knock you off your feet for a few days, lots of guilt free rest extra fluids & paracetamol/ibuprofen and ring your GP again if you do not start to feel a little better after 4-5 days, it could take a few weeks before you are totaly back to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
