I cannot move out and all i can do is to i keep myself clean and pray for the best! What do i do now??
Kindly advice!!

derek pearson,

Sounds like acute sinusitis. You might benefit from rinsing your nose with saltwater (a quarter teaspoon to a glass of lukewarm water – if you have high blood pressure, make sure you don’t swallow the salty gue that comes down in the back of your throat, and rinse your mouth with clear water afterward). Several tyimes per day.

If you are not getting better within a few days, or develop more ear pain and/or fever, see your doctor.

Best wishes,

Alexa Fleckenstein M.D., physician, author.

I was skeptical thought this was all hyped up by the govt. Then my room mate tested pos. Lovely of her to share it with me. It is THE MOST HORRIBLE thing i have ever been infected with. Since I was laid off with the majority of the country I couldnt get proper medical care. After being severely ill for 5 days i finally raked out the cash to see a Dr. I’m on day 7 of the illness and my head hurts so bad my ears feel like they might explode. Nobody mentions the ear infections, in terms of pain, its right up there with the sore throat, coughing and headache. If you feel sick, quarantine yourself. This is no bs. My poor fiance hasnt been able to touch me in over a week!

It all started when I was on holiday with my wife. After a nice lunch we went shopping. I was feeling weak. Thought nothing of it. Went back to the hotel and had an afternoon nap. Could not get up in the evening. Forced myself out but had no appetite for dinner could not even drink a glass of water. Went to sleep at night only to get up a few hours later and vomit several times. In the morning I was feeling awful and had diarea. I beleived that I had indigestion. Followed was a fever and chills. Next day woke up with a caugh and fever. Went to the doc, who immediately suspected swine flu. He sent me out to be tested and results came out positive. I quarantined myself to avoid passing the virus and started tamiflu along with other anti biotics. I beleive that I am recovering from a nasty illness but sadly my wife developed the symptoms a day later and I am hoping that she recovers as well. 5 days in quarantine can be extremely boaring but it’s essential not to spread the virus.

People are so “witty” & full of humor! Anyone who is reading to actually get informed….I’ve had it since Tuesday. I woke up with a headache & felt kind of stuffy, but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. That headache QUICKLY turned in to the worst headache of my entire life…then a couple hours later, fevering, body aches, & chills. I went to the doctor & was told I have H1N1. I’ve done nothing but sleep for the past 5 days & I’ve been on Tamiflu, tylenol, & tons of vitamins since I was diagnosed. Today is the first day I’ve had enough energy to do something besides get up & lay on the couch. I’m still fevering & my chest hurts so I’m going back to the doctor tomorrow.
My advice: if you fee like you suddenly got hit by a ton of bricks, go to the doctor immediately!! I didn’t think I would get swine flu nor was I that concerned about it prior to (I too thought the media was blowing it out of proportion).
