I just saw a segment about it on Fox! They said one man died of influenza in San Diego and a 13yr old MIGHT have died from it and it's even crazier in some of the other states. The emergency rooms in some states are full and they ran out of vaccinations, but it's a rare strain of influenza that's hitting lots of folks and there's no immunization for that particular strain.

I think I might have it but I'm not sure. My throat feels dry/itchy and my eyes have been feeling "heavy" all day like I want to go to sleep, not sure if I'm sick or tired. I hope it doesn't get worse! I haven't had close contact with anyone, I mean, no one coughed in my face or anything and I haven't been around a lot of people lately.

hah, funny thing about the Flu Season that I learned the other day...its not really in october/november/december. Its actually march/april/may, I believe it peaks sometime in March. Only reason we get vaccinated around this time is to allow our bodies to build up enough anti-bodies.

Oh, and a quote I found on some website...

Quote:

?The best time to receive flu vaccination is October and November,? said Barbara Mobley, Extension program specialist. ?This year the vaccine supply is plentiful, so there should be no problem with shortages or delays. Prioritizing people based on their risk categories is not necessary since plenty of vaccine if available.?

My nose is stuffy and my throat is sore. But I could also have gotten that because I accidentally slept with the window open last night. I hope I don't have the flu

Yes. I used to use phogirl69 as my aol e-mail addy when I first got on-line and the name stuck. It's supposed to be a joke, but I do like pho.

Except maybe battling brain cancer or leprosy.

My friend used to use phogirl007, and I wanted to pick a number that was easy to remember so I picked 69.

i'm on my 6th day of it...the highlight was the two days that I had a 103.2 temp. Now I just want to be able to eat something other than soup and stop chocking everytime I lay flat.

JFPdude · 12-12-2003, 07:51 AM

You people with the flu you need to get medical attention quickly. The strain of flu going around now is the worst they have seen since the sixties.

It's all over the news many people that are dying from the flu this year are dying because they are not getting the proper medical attention they need as quickly as they need it.

Dehydration is setting in much quicker with this strain of the flu and harming major internal organs quicker.

For you fuckers that want to know what I know to speak about this I am a certified EMT and this is my training. I have been on many calls this year where it ended up with people having major problems like kidney failure. Just last week we brought a little boy to the hospital here in NC and he ended up dying because his parents waited to long.

Get to the hospital now if you have the flu. This is serious this year.
