Long story short, I babysit a 17 month old. Her sister got sick and then in turn got me and the baby sick. (despite my Lysol, hand sanitizer and go wash your hands efforts)
With H1N1 going around, I’m a little nervous about my symptoms.
I have a horrible dry cough, pains in my chest, i get winded walking ten steps, stuffy nose, and suddenly I’m very dizzy. Also, my temperature has been climbing steadily over the last two hours from 97.9 to 100.1.
What does this sound like? Should I be concerned or will my regular cold/flu meds and routine (rest, fluids) do the trick?
Also, going to the doctors is out of the question because my doctor is moving to a new practice and our files are no longer in their systems and I cant pick them up until Thursday.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Should I Be Concerned About My Symptoms.?
Already Had H1n1, Should I Bother With The Vaccine?
I had h1n1 in the spring (one of the first confirmed cases in the state) and I got very, very sick. It is now rampant on my campus and I think I’ve already had another small bout of it and have had the symptoms again on and off for the last three weeks. I have even missed my first college class ever because I was too sick to leave my room.
I have a compromised immune system due to an intestinal issue, chronic pneumonia, anemia, and a b12 deficiency so I am one of the at-risk groups that is encouraged to get the vaccine, but I am wondering if it is even worth it since I have already had the strain?
Thank you.
With H1n1 Going Around, Should I Go Into A Hospital If I Am Not Sick?
I have Multiple Sclerosis and also pre-diabetes. I am scheduled for a routine MRI tomorrow. There was a story in our local paper encouraging those that aren’t feeling well to not go to the hospital. Also, I have seen other articles in the past encouraging those that think they have some symptoms to call their doctor as opposed to going to the hospital because then they might get the flu for sure.
I understand take precautions and they try to be as sanitary as they can be, but I do not want to take any chances.
Also, I have not gotten the H1N1 shot.

Should My Company / Business Be Preparing For The Pending H1n1 Swine Flu Pandemic?
Now is the time to prepare your business !
To help stop the pandemic of H1N1 swine flu virus employers should be preparing to combat the spread of the virus in the workplace. This can be done with;
- Alcohol gel dispensers like the ones in hospitals.
- Alcohol wipes for cleaning telephones and keyboards etc as the virus will live on hard surfaces for several hours.
- Displaying “Now Wash Your Hands Signs” to remind employees and customers washing hands can help reduce the spread of the virus.
- Issuing FFP2 class face masks to staff who deal directly with
customers who may have the virus.
- Ensuring the workplace has an abundant supply of tissues.
The problem with swine flu is the symptoms are similar to seasonal flu and staff are not going to give up their pay just to ensure they are not spreading a potentially deadly virus.
Therefore it is up to your employer to prepare your workplace.

Who Should We Believe About The H1n1 Flu Vaccine?
How are we to know who to believe when it comes to getting the H1N1 vaccination when one day you hear from very well respected medical Drs and other sources that we should not be vaccinated under any circumstances because the vaccine can be more dangerous than the H1N1 virus itself and the next report says getting immunized is a must. There are many reputable sources that say it is nothing but scare tactics by the makers of the vaccine and most of the numbers regarding deaths from H1N1 are being blown out of proportion while at the same time others such as the CDC say the H1N1 vaccine is totally safe and it is a must especially for pregnant women and small children. There are several documented cases of death following H1N1 vaccinations. Reports are now saying that actress Brittany Murphy suffered from flu like symptoms in the days just prior to her death. I haven’t heard whether or not she had received the H1N1 vaccine or not. Could this be yet another cover up?
Should I Get The H1n1 Vaccine?
My school is planning a date where all the students and faculty can get the the swine flu shot for free if they chose to.
But the problem is that my mom and I can’t decide if I should get it or not.
A brief look at my medical history:
-Allergies: Penecillin, Amoxicillin, tree nuts, seafood, and seasonal allergies.
-Asthma
-Possible auto-immune thyroid thing
-sebborichic dermititus
And I sometimes get sick whenever I get shots, but not too bad. It seems like 1/4 the school is out sick with flu-like symptoms, so I’m terrified that I could get the H1N1 Virus, since I’ve heard it really hits kids with asthma hard. But the vaccine seems so new, and I heard they are all made overseas in China, so who knows how safe they are?
My mom said she would feel better if I got the non-active (dead) injection, but since it is my body, the final choice is up to me. (What, could they just sit on me why they stick a needle in my arm?!)
Should I get the shot?
Who Else Thinks The Usa National Soccer Team Should Be Disqualified From The World Cup Qualifiers For H1n1?
Since it is against the law not to report that you have symptoms of the SWINE FLU virus H1N1, shouldnt the US national Soccer team be disqualified from having a chance at the World Cup?
Mexican Officials are reviewing his card that he was supposed to fill out when entering Mexico City and it looks like he lied on that too. So not only did he break Mexican Laws, but also broke FIFA rules. I THINK THE US TEAM SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED its not like theyre going to make it anyways,
1. Costa Rica
2. Mexico
3. Honduras
4. USA will have to most likely play ECUADOR for the final spot to the world cup.
I say lets just let ECUADOR in and keep the SWINE FLU out of the world cup 2010!!!
My Child Was Too Late Getting H1n1 Vaccine. Should I Be Concerned That She Is Now Sick With The Flu?
My daughter was sick with a cough (known to accompany H1N1) when we took her to be vaccinated with the adjuvanted version of the H1N1 vaccine. My son was turned away because he was already ill and they were worried the vaccine would worsen his symptoms. We are in an H1N1 hotspot and have been told that there is no strain of seasonal flu in this area. If we have the flu, it is H1N1. My son’s case was fairly mild and he is nearly over it, but should I be much more concerned about my daughter considering she appears to have H1N1 (coughing, 102F fever, lethargic, no appetite) AND has the adjuvanted (or boosted) version of the vaccine in her system.
