do you throw up with the swine flu

t think there is much you can do about. Also the woman who died from swine flu had many other complications and was in the hospital for some time for other reasons and then got swine flu and passed away. I am not really scared. At first when it all started I freaked out, but then I realized, what can you really do? Just wash your hands all the time and becareful. There is always some sort of virus going around. Maybe I'm crazy for not freaking out anymore? lol.

The pediatrician said it is most likely the swine flu, as he was already vaccinated for the seasonal flu, and the office is seeing about 85% of kids with the swine flu at this point. The doc is angry with the state of OHIO and the Gov, regarding the vaccines. They should have been available 2 months ago, but with politics it is still not out, and the kids are all sick now. It is very widespread here, but fortunately most healthy kids are doing fine with the virus.

First, the swine flu is just like the regular flu and is treated just like the regular flu. It has been around for a long time and you may have been exposed to this particular strand in the past. Don't sweat it! If you do end up getting sick, just see your doctor and get better!

He is a sophomore in high school, and is very active in sports and other extracurricular activities. Although the school didn’t close (he is the only confirmed case of Swine Flu), they are keeping a close watch of student showing flu-like symptoms. They also sent a letter home reminding parents of ways to prevent their child form getting swine flu.

I got more sick from the regular flu shot than I did from the swine flu shot, go figure! I had a fever and muscle aches for 2-3 days after regular flu shot, not one single symptom from the swine flu shot. Hmmmm I also didn't get the flu either.

Amen, ZQ. I'm with you all the way. I think there's already too much fear thrown at people about all this Swine Flu to begin with. It's crazy. The regular flu kills something like 30,000 people a year and this one has barely made a dent and it looks like it's already dying down. I think to be able to have an uplifting, positive thing for people to turn to, like the prayers of others, would be a good thing. I think it could work. They could keep it interdenominational, etc.

Thanks, I'll do that I just had the seasonal flu shot in Oct & the H1N1 flu vaccine wasn't available at that time they said they would have it this Nov around about the 13th or so & would let me know as soon as it was available since I fit the category of those with ailments that require the shot.

I had the flu shot but no flu yet. HOWEVER I woke up with strep throat this morning. I have a call into my ob-gyn office seeing what I can take. They figure most likely they will end up placing me on an anti-biotic. I am miserable. I just hope the rest of the family does not catch it.

I completely understand your concern about the flu (especially swine flu) - and especially with you being pregnant. You definitely want to do everything you can to protect both yourself and your baby from harm. As you've already had the shot, this of course is a moot point - but in case you need/want to have any other vaccines.

s only when they bother tracking it at all -- last year, during the height of the swine flu frenzy, the CDC actually told state health authorities to stop counting while the agency just made up any number it pleased. The truth is, flu is directly responsible for only a few hundred American deaths in most years. Throw in the occasional outbreak, and you get an average of around 1,348 annual deaths, according to a study in the British Medical Journal.

Is it the new swine flu or pneumonia associated with it that has killed people? If pneumonia, is this a new pneumonia, a pneumonia condition caused by the flu virus itself, or standard pneumonia(s)? If a standard pneumonia, will a pneumonia shot five years ago give any protection, and/or would one now give any protection? Also, will Tamiflu from 2004 still work?

I agree with you about the tamiflu. Wernt we always told that you just have to ride out flu with lots of fluids and pain killers. Tamiflu only shortens the attack by about 1 day but if everyone takes it who hasnt got swine flu there will be a resistance to it very quickly. So for me if you have a cold, cough etc and a slight temperature according to our government hot line you have SWINE FLU. Madness real madness.

My oldesr tested positive today for the Swine flu and now my 2 year old is sick as well.I am taking the baby to the Dr in the morning.His Dr refused to see him today cause they where closing in 30 minutes.That really upset me..We have been up all night.We might be heading to the E.R. if he continues having trouble breathing and vomiting.Thanks so much.May God Bless all of you.

Did you guys see the article boogieman copied and put on the swine flu journal? Something about terrorists. You don't think it could possibly be purposeful, do you?

You guys are scaring me! Lol. My sister-in-law is a biochemist and actually works at Sanofi in PA making swine flu vaccines. Gosh, after reading all of this I hope it is safe, for her sake and for her two little boys sake!

I know I'll get the regular flu shot and probably the swine flu shot too. The flu can be dangerous in pregnancy. I too plan to talk to my OB next visit. I remember several deaths last year from the swine flu!

The people that get really sick from it have a underlying condtion like COPD, CHF, Cancer. Calm down there saying now once you get the swine flu your body will become imune to it.

These actions include frequent handwashing, covering coughs, and having ill persons stay home, except to seek medical care, and minimize contact with others in the household who may be ill with swine flu. Additional measures that can limit transmission of a new influenza strain include voluntary home quarantine of members of households with confirmed or probable swine influenza cases, reduction of unnecessary social contacts, and avoidance whenever possible of crowded settings.

So the first person to die in the US got the swine flu while she was pregnant. They had to deliver the baby while she was in a coma and the woman passed away. It's so sad I can't believe it. Make sure you wash those hands several times a day!

last i heard ( i think a couple of nights ago) they still needed to do a little bit more research with pregnant people and the swine flu shot.. however they are also putting pregnant people as top priority to get the shot... I had already made up my mind that i was goign to pass- its just not worth the risk of a new, not very researched vaccine to my baby especially.. When i talked to my OB she also agreed..

yikes Nauty when i first read this, i thought you DO have the swine flu!! glad its "ONLY" the shingles!!! hah! I hope you feel better soon, Ive heard the shingles can be really awful! stay the hell away from me though< Ive never had chicken pox yet , and can actually catch them from somone who has the shingles lol btw i just read my local news and they said they are testing several people in my area for the flu (NW Ohio).
