Becca, currently the only people suffering have been to Mexico. Try to rationalise your panic hun. Your headache could easily be stress, your legs could easily be from your period and the cough could be anything (like hayfever, or a regular cold, or an irritation in your throat, or just even thinking about it).

Okaay.. :nerves1

Thanks Tracy

I don't think there have been any cases of it here yet, have they stopped people from other countries travelling to Mexico? I think they should.

 

[irishbunny]

I want to keep up to date on where it is- So far Mexico, New Zealand, US, Canada, UK and Spain, any other places guys?

Tbh I don't want to know

well i think i had one of the worst hospital visit and should have waited until monday. i took her to Madigan Hospital on Ft. lewis... we got in there they made her wear a mask and sent us up to xray since she's been sick for awhile and afew a couple hours of waiting we saw a doctor.... he was very dull, non caring person who wanted to push his patients out as fast as he could. didnt bother asking questions, looked in her mouth and simply said seasonal allergies. i said since when does seasonal allergies causes vomiting, body & tummy aches. my daughter cant keep anything down. the only thing she has really eaten is somecrackers and a little bit of pedilyte. he looked at me and proceeded to say he wrote a perscription for zyrtec to help dry things out. he didnt bother acknowleging that she was vomiting. i couldnt believe this guy. and then he was gone... well once we got home she was back in the bathroom throwing up....

i dont know what else to do. i know she has the flu. and i hope its just the regular plain flu, but should i take her to the clinic tomorrow to be safe? i was just so frustrated with this guy....

I would definately get a second opinion. My daughter was in middle school she broke the growth plate in her finger.. I took her to the er and the doctor told us it was just jammed and for my daughter to excericse it.. and told her she could go on with her cheer leading practice then the next day I get a calll from the radiologist saying she broke the growth plate and to get her to an orthopedic surgeon a soon as possible... I refused to pay the bill because her doctor at leas tshould have splinted it and he did nothing for her. the hospital called wanting their money and i told them what the doctor did and said and the researched it and dropped the bill...

if you feel something is wrong with your child then please get a second opinion you now your child... I hope your daughter gets better soon...

well we went to the doctor first thing this morning. i told the nurse and doctor what had happend in the er and they were even appauled. they even went and got the er report that the doctor is supposed to fill out and he didnt bother filling it out. we where at the doctors for a while and they even brought in another doctor to converse about theon going situation we have been dealing with. they did some labs and they both agreed that it was not seasonal allergies. she's recovering from a respirtory infection & is still having post nasal drip, and she has food poisioning, which would explain why she got sick so suddenly and out of know where again. I'm relieved i know what it is and what caused this. they told me it could take a week before signs of food poisioning shows up and a week ago from yesterday we where at the fair. now things seem to fall into place. I am thankful it wasnt the flu.

just use common sense, wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, try to steer clear of people who are ill & wash your hands. you can always keep hand sanitizer with you in your purse or backpack to use when u cant get somewhere to wash your hands. so dont panic, good common sense will save you.

I actually have a sore throat and dizzy head since I came home from school, we have mumps in our school though so it's either that or swine flu lol

Hand sanitizer might be a good way to get you to stop biting your nails. put it on your hands and once you put your finger in your mouth its going to taste awful!

I would definitely agree that the media is taking things a bit out of had.
I would worry about young babies, the elderly or immunocompromised individuals, just like you would with any flu.
Becca, you're not going to die. Well, eventually you are, but you won't die of swine flu.

LOL Okay I have got some in my bag already

Apparently, its not the usual babies and the elderly who are more suceptable, its youths... NZ now has 19 suspected case's the most in the world besides Mexico, if your going state by state and were saying NZ was a state we also have the most. In the UK there are 3 confirmed cases of it. Im kinda worried, Mum hasn't responded to my e-mails in like 1 week, thats quite unusual.....How do you go about finding if relation is quarantined?? Would they contact the family, but I'm not home.......I'm honestly quite worried, Nelson is a small town, this thing could spread rather quick say if* mum has it, symptoms don't show up for a few days, I'm in contact go to school, work, supermarket etc thats hundreds of people i'm in contact with.....
I know I'm being a bit paranoid but it's gotten very close to home now and the idea of me coming in contact with someone is very real.
