Just got over piggy flu. No fun, a friend had to go into the hospital for a couple of days for dehydration. I just drank all the Mt. Dew I could hold down. Should be safe in another 24 hours since my fever went away this AM.

The variation hitting us here in east central KY is an intestinal type of flu. Not much congestion, just flush you out both ends and fever , aches, etc.

With the variations I wonder how well the nnalert will work?
 
Glad to hear you got over it. It doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Around here piggy hasn't shown much of a presence. We're being hit with a pretty tough respiratory type of flu though. Took me about three weeks to shake it and I'm in healthy shape. My 87 year-old step mom has this respiratory thing too and she's knocked out pretty good. Her heart's not in very good shape anyway so we have our fingers crossed. Jim
 
Mountain Dew does wonder. I often times feel sick when I first get up in the morning. Found out Dew helps me get going. Mentioned it to Doc and he said it was fine that maybe I had a little low blood sugar. I have had all of the blood work done and it does not show anything.
 
There are some cases here, but not like they're closing schools.

About 6am last Sunday, my wife woke me and asked me to take her to the ER at our local hospital. She just hurt all over and her hands were swollen so she couldn't even close into a fist. We didn't know what the heck was going on.

The doctor on duty diagnosed it as "Fifth's Disease". We'd never heard of it before. It's a rare viral thing and she had the classic symptoms.

The treatment was a couple of shots of steroids and some pain pills. By Monday she was feeling much better and by now is about back to normal. I guess you learn something new every day.
 
I had the 3 weeks respiratory thing about a month ago. My lucky fall I suppose. Hopefully I am done with the flr stuff for the year.

Yes good luck to all who get the flu. Watch for pneumonia and dehydration.
 
Works for me! I don't drink coffee at all - I stop at the C-store every morning on my way out of town with the school bus and fill my coffee mug with - you guessed it - Mountain Dew!
 
Yep, the Dew works wonders. I have to have a can by 8:00 or I'm not feeling to good. Speaking of, haven't had one yet this morning, and it's sounding pretty good. Be back shortly.
 
Same kind of swine flu a few years back when you wanted to get down in the mud and do it??? If you had the H1 type you were lucky.
 
H1N1 or "swine flu" is strictly a respiratory flu. If you had intestinal symptoms you had a stomach or intestinal virus not H1N1.
