Swine Flu

[Siouxsie]

Because you no longer get to see a doctor to get it confirmed properly everyone who is feeling ill in any way just seems to assume that's what they've got.

A friend's grand daughter was given Tamiflu and following a bad reaction to it was sent for tests.It now turns out she has a totally different virus (which is apparantly doing the rounds currently) and it's nothing to do with swine flu.

If we have a spell of hot sunny weather I suspect a lot of people will be self diagnosing with swine flu !

I have a mother with several underlying health problems. Is it ok with everybody if I'm slightly worried?

I sympathise with you but any strain of flu can do the same. :icon_roll

For example, people with asthma always struggle to shake off flu's and cold's.

Of course it is, it's only natural to be concerned if somebody close to you has health problems.
But you shouldn't limit or focus your worry to Swine flu.

Macky ,mate no i have not fell for anything i know its on the rise as mates kids are coming down with it plus other firends know poeple close by that have come down with the swine flu .

They've got a dose of the flu, same way people do every year. If you put the word 'swine' in front of it, all you're doing is making it sound scarier. But it is still just the flu.

The main worrie and yes it is a worrie is if it mutates (or how ever you spell it) then we could have a problem .

It has already mutated and will mutate again, and again, and again.
That's what a virus does.

Bugger. I was hoping to have had it out of the way, and can look forward to the usual tonsillitis and nothing more this winter.

People are complaining that the advice they are being given on the phone line isn't good enough now. I can imagine the call:

"Hi I have swin flu"
"What are your symtpoms?"
"Symptoms? I just assumed I was dying from it because I felt tired"
"Sorry sir it doesn't sound like you have swine flu"
"Can I have some Tamiflu anyway, just in cases?"
"No sir. Goodbye"

It's a shame that there isn't a virus that only targets the stupid.
