Oink Oink - no swine way!!!

[The Sneeze Police]

Social isolation would protect others from you, so stay at home if at all possible. Take the Tamiflu...it will likely shorten the course of the flu regardless of whether this is the Swine flu or not. Look on the CDC or NHS sites. They are rife with information about how to treat at home versus visiting the doctor or ER...esprcially which symptoms indicate that you SHOULD seek medical assistance.

Immediately going to the doctor or ER just because doesn't seem very sound unless you have serious symptoms which need medical attention. Otherwise you increase the chances of giving someone else the flu or catching it (if you indeed do not have the Swine flu to begin with.)

From the sounds of it things work a little differently in England. I've been told to ring my doctor but he would come to my house if I need him and he didn't want me to go into the surgery. I don't really have things like health care plans, just the NHS. Also employers don't have a choice about paying sick pay, it's a government regulated thing. And I'd have to be off for over five days to need a doctor's note.

Anyways... temperature down a bit. Watching Star Trek Voyager in my comfy chair

Voyager? Surely that makes symptoms worse? or are you just hoping it'll make you drowsy?

When I thought I might have it I called the doctor and he didn't think it was, eventually I got on tamiflu and that's when things went to shit, because it turned out I had an infection in my heart but everyone had to treat me like it was swine flu until the test results came back.
Ah, fun times.

I hope you start feeling better soon. A couple of weeks ago I had the flu, and although I don't know if it was swine flu, I wouldn't be surprised if it was because this was definitely the worst flu I've ever had. I was out with a high fever for at least 5 days. I felt like my insides were being cooked. The vomiting started on the last night and wasn't too bad, but the coughing was the worst. It felt like I had a huge amount of phlegm stuck in my chest that would not come up no matter how much I coughed or cleared my throat. Supposedly this is a common symptom of swine flu...an expectant cough that produces no product. My fever was up to 104 and I became very worried, but luckily it went away. Though it took several days for me to feel anything close to normal again.

Anyway, I hope your flu doesn't get as bad as mine felt, and that you are able to return to work safely soon.

Cheers guys...

TheBolanChef - I'm actually watching the first series. Can you believe I've never seen Caretaker. Treated myself to the whole series on DVD Saturday.

Bob the Skutter - oh no. Poor you! The health authorities do seem to assume everything is swine flu at the mo.

Stop's Meow - yeah defo have that awful cough. No sickness yet.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Yeah, I think they're told to assume anything with flu symptoms is rather than risk it.
Took 6 weeks of IV antibiotics but I'm well enough now.

I hope you get better soon. And don't worry about wasting your doctors time, if you feel any worse or like you're not getting better get in touch with him and tell him how bad you really feel.

This reminds me that I need to gt a doctor as my last one retired in May.

EXTRA STRENGTH OIL OF OREGANO! •••••

You will be cured within a few hours. It has a dropper so if you buy some cheap tablets that have capsules such as Echinacea capsules from 'Holland & Barrett' then you can open the capsules and drop some oil in them, 3 to 4 drops in one capsule should suffice.

It's not some magical cure all, it's has properties that help the immune system (so does masturbation by the way, but I don't see you telling people to go wank every post) and help as disinfectants. It's not going to get rid of infections and viruses over night. If it did why the fuck do you think there's still diseases around now, don't you think people would have discovered this already and cured the world of everything...

This oil is a very potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic oil and it works. If I wish to tell people about this oil and give them an opportunity to try it for themselves then I can do so.
People have their freedom to choose whether they want to try it or not, I don't believe people like BobTheSkutter has the right to say "fuck you" to me just because i'm trying to help people by giving them information about an immune system booster.

This oil is a known curer of colds and flu, since the OP says they have flu then clearly this oil could help them, so I'm telling them about it. I don't expect to get flamed simply because I'm telling people about it.

Here we go again...

 

[Bob The Skutter]

I apologise to DangerMouse for the derailment of her thread.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Tacky, you know what, fuck you. I'm sick of you pulling this shit when people are actually sick and suffering.

And this will make her feel better? You know better than this. Warning for Flaming. Comments to PM.

And let's everybody else keep on Topic, please.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Get well soon, DM.

Did you watch the footage with Genevieve Bujold as Captain Janeway?

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ I have and I still think they went with the better choice. (Even though I would love to have seen Susan Gibney's take on the roll. I just loved her as Dr. Leah Brahms.)

Get better dear heart! I will be sending you good vibes! *hug*

 

[RJDiogenes]

I think the thing about Genevieve Bujold was that they were really trying to create a female Picard.
