Yep I have a flu not the H1N1 thing ok.. For some reason I got the sore throat on friday, ending it I got colds already. I was feeling so miserable and had to go to my OB-Gyne which is a MD too so she knows for sure what I have right now. Went to see her and she thought I was there to have my ultrasound regards to my amenorrhea or absence of period for more than the acceptable time. So there, had my7 thorat checked and its swollen.. Not again! I have a phrayngitis and she had to prescribed me a pennicillin to take for 7 days and 2x day. Its only been a day passed and here I am in bed, got a runny nose and headache although I did take a medicine for the colds and runny nose so Im waiting for it to take effect. I had taken as well my penni pill for this morning. I cannot bear being on bed and feeling weird... MY flu vaccine from last year has stopped so maybe Im like this, I better have a vaccine again...
Hope you guys are good and having a good day!

hello mz_Ira,
Too bad to know that you are sick. You need to have your flu vaccine as soon as you are well enough. For they will not give you if you are still sick. Take a lot of fluids, rest and relax so you will get will pretty soon. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables and fish too - good diet.
Well as for me, I'm also having my tonsilitis but I'm okey now. Much better than three days ago. I have my anti-biotic too to take for seven days. My family and I has already our flu shot done. It helps a lot especially that we have a bad weather every now and then here - heavy rain almost everyday and hot at the same time.

I think it is the flu season now, the H1N1 has spread over to my country and many colleges have been closed temporarily as some students have been detected with that deadly flu. I had a slight fever few days back and felt a bit unusual as I felt my flesh are tearing apart and whole body aching. A slight touch on my skull gives that pricky pain and I feel worn out throughout the day. But it went away the next day after taking over the counter painkiller. I thought it is the early sign of HIN1 as it is hot topic here in my place now and everyone is asked to keep indoors. Luckily it is not and am back to mylotting.

OH no, that sounds quite bad to me.. Hopefully u are feeling much better now ^_^ I dun like to have flu at all because it only adds on more misery to my pain of not being able to exercise and run.. haha =D
However, there's a way to combat flu way before it becomes too serious, if one is daring enough.. BEcause runny nose and cough, plus fever tends to come together right?? So just before we feel too sick, go for a long to sweat off everything!! Though it's not recommended by doctors because one might die from it, but i alwasy do so.. haha =D
Usually after the run itself, i will feel alot better and by the next day, i would have more or less recover on my own.. hehe ^_^

That's just miserable! Keep taking your medicine till it's all gone or you might get sick again. Are you sure it's an influenza virus you have? That on top of the sore throat has got to be painful and stressful.
I hope you feel better soon! I also hope your OBGYN issues will be okay.

Oh that is really bad timing. I am just as lucky I got my first time to be vaccinated with Flu Shot. So far I have not met any fever for the last few months now and usually I too would have a bout of fever during this time of the year as the weather in my place is not that good so it is usually a flu season in my place. I am planning to make this a yearly habit to avoid getting those flu every now and then.

You Can't Make Excuses When You Are Sick .. You Have to lie in Bed Till You Feel totally fine .. You can Spring back To Work Once You are Totally Fine .. Wish You The Very Best .. Take Care .. See You Around ..

it's very hot these days which make all of us feel uncomfortable and the children at our home are also suffering a lot . My cousin got the sore throat too and he took some medicine and feel better now. i have to watch carefully out my small boy and i will cook some pear water for him to drink . Drinking a lot of water can cool down, i think.
