Okay, so I’m not a germ freak in any way, and don’t have a fear of swine flu. However, I was sick today and looked up the swine flu symptoms. All the sites said temperature, headache, muscle soreness, runny nose, cough, sore throat, tiredness, etc. I went black Friday shopping and was warmly dressed, but I went to an outlet mall at midnight. It was cold, and I was exposed to a lot of people. Then I rode horses for 2 hours in 54 or so degree weather in only a sweatshirt. I rode Sunday. So today, Monday, I stayed home sick. I slept most the day, and when I sat up after lying down, had a huge headache. (this is not unusual for me) My temperature has ranged from below average to a slight temperature. (97.9 to 99.5 degrees farenheit) My throat hurts and gargling salt water, cough drops, and other things haven’t worked. My nose has been runny/stuffy as well. Could this be H1N1? Please only serious answers/advice.

Could This Be Swine Flu/h1n1?
Head Of The Federal Cdc Is Now Advertising For The Companies That Make H1n1 Vaccine? Is This Possible?
In ref to the hype in this advertisement for the H1N1 flu vaccine:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con…
The head of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Anne Schuchat, advertising for the companies that want to sell 195 million vials of their H1N1 vaccine says, “Vaccine against flu is the best way to protect yourself . . . and those around you.”
Is this a “fact” or is this her opinion? I would think a government official would tell the public a healthy immune system is the best defence against any strain of the flu virus. This article admits, “most of the children who have died have had other health problems that made them PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE [my emphasis], such as asthma, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy…” There is no real evidence that what she is saying, what this article suggests, and the panic they are encouraging is really meaningful if the large majority of people (including children) recover from H1N1 without the need for a flu vaccine of any kind. The flu vaccine is NOT 100% effective, and the vaccine usually causes flu-like symptoms for up to several days anyway (they call them “side effects”). In fact, because the nasal spray form of the vaccine contains live H1N1 virus (they call it “weakened”) pregnant women are urged not to get it. If Schuchat is not simply advertising for the vaccine companies, what the heck is she talking about?
In an attempt to reassure the public, in one isolated paragraph this article says, “Additional data from federal studies testing the vaccine have found no evidence of any unusual risks…” But that doesn’t mean that evidence doesn’t exist. It means evidence hasn’t been found, and it won’t be found unless they do the right test to find it! Additionally, there has not been enough time to do any type of long term study. Plus, the vaccine still contains Thimerosal, which is a controversal toxic mercury substance.
Then the article ends with, “Although the virus causes mild illness for most people, some people become seriously ill, requiring intensive care to try to save them. ‘Unfortunately, we do expect more illness, including more hospitalizations and deaths, to be occurring in the weeks ahead,’ she [Schuchat] said.” Is it not obvious that her choice of words and how this article is written is designed to encourage panic so that you’ll run out and get the H1N1 flu vaccine before you’re too late and end up dead?
Is This H1n1 Linked To Zombie Outbreaks In Europe?
http://www.softsailor.com/news/2126-swine-flu-quickly-turns-into-zombie-swine-flue-h1n1-is-now-h1z1.html
This story and many other stories were written that in Europe a small outbreak of zombie-like symptoms have occurred in Swine Flu carriers. A few of the victims that died from Swine Flu have came back to life and died after 2 hours. I really don’t care if this is real or fake but still sounds awsome, after years of Resident Evil games is finally going to pay off.
Why Is There So Much Hype About This H1n1?
(sorry contacts for all the H1N1 questions today)http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml…
Above is a link to an surveillance report for the 36 pediatric deaths from H1N1 as of August 2009. It can be assumed intelligently that the 78 additional deaths to date will have similar stats since it’s only a 2 month time span since the original report and it’s the same flu, right?
OK. Since the report shows that nearly all of the children had serious preexisting medical conditions, why is there so much propoganda about “swine flu is killing the kids?” These children likely would have had serious complications if it was the seasonal flu, as well. I had the seasonal flu and I thought a sumo wrestler was sitting on my chest.
Argument to this (from people who are still not willing to accept the data provided) is that “well, I’ll still get my healthy kids vaccinated to protect someone else with a weaker immune system.”
If I am not mistaken, doesn’t the vaccine make it so you will have less severe symptoms. It prepares your body if you do get the flu. Your body will already be familiar with it and be better prepared to fight it, hence less symptoms. So, you’re still getting the flu and could still infect someone with a weaker immune system.
What is the benefit of this vaccine for healthy kids and why is the media/government hyping it up like it’s killing kids left and right?
Does This Sound Like H1n1 ?
Im wondering if i have the swine flu, also known as H1N1. Im not going to go to the hospital cause there are so many cases of it, if its not bad you shouldn’t go to the hospital.
Here are my symptoms :
- dizziness
- sore throat
- headache
- fever
- bad cough
- sore ribs , shoulders and back
- i have never puked but im nauseous

Whats The Incubation Period Of This Virus (swine Or A New Strain Of H1n1 Influenza A Virus)?
Interesting – a new strain of H1N1 influenza A viru.
I wonder what the incubation period is?
How many days BEFORE one has symptoms are they unaware and in public, and therefore spreading the virus.
For instance, I understand the HIV pathology shows that a person with HIV can be spreading the disease for 6 months before he/she can be diagnosed.
Generally, viruses are spreadable for a certain number of days before the patient KNOWS they have an illness. I wonder what that period is for this new strain of H1N1 influenza A virus.
It appears that one CSULB student is confined with an “apparent” swine flu and is being confined til proven positive or false. Meanwhile another student said that last Friday she had been in class and coughing all over the place.
Of course- as with any virus or illness, exposure doesnt mean you will get it.
Pasteur on his death bed said that he was wrong – the pathogens werent the main players, the “terrain” was.
Summing it up- the super healthy will ward it off because they have great terrain. (and thats what an Immune system is for!)
And in any flu passing through, thats why the very young and the very old are the usual ones to die.
Officially we are supposed to stay 6 feet away from each other- and wash our hands long enough to sing the entire Happy Birthday song.
I am probably living on the edge- I kissed my hubby on the mouth without brushing my teeth, Then we each went through a loud pantomime of coughing and hacking and spitting and kissed again. Monogamy does have its priviledges,
I am also thinking that there must be plenty of cases where people dont report their flu. If I was sick with a fever and flu-like symptoms, I would be too sick to sit in a doctors office to wait my turn. I wouldnt go to an ER because knowing I was in a weakened state, I wouldnt want to be in proximity of people even MORE sick.
So there have to be more cases around that dont get to the place of diagnosis or “counting”.
ANYWAY – whats the incubation/spreadable period before symptoms begin?
Anyone know?
Is This Bronchitis Or H1n1?
I usually get bronchitis about once a year.
It happens mostly around winter/spring.
I’ve been sick for 2 days now.
My symptoms include, wheezing, hot/cold flashes, off & on fever, coughing up mucus, fatigue & tightness in my upper chest.
My mom thinks I have H1N1 (swine flu) but I think she’s wrong?
Is This The Cold Or H1n1?
I suppose this could seem like I am panicking to much (:
But I was wondering if this sounds like the H1N1 flu or a cold.
Symptoms:
Runny nose
Cough
Feeling a little cold
Diarrhea (..but I have my period, so maybe it isn’t from this virus I have)
Fever ( 99.7)
This might also be allergies to because I am know to have bad allergies. Anyways, at first, I just had a cough. Then today I developed a runny nose in school. Then I went to check my fever a few minutes ago and it is 99.7 This is a cold or swine?
Please don’t tell me to go to the doctors.
Lill.
