I am ill with something other than H1N1.

[lightningandsnow]

I know it's not H1N1 because I got the vaccine a week and a half ago - I'm considered in a priority group because of my asthma.

Basically, I have a cold, but the weird thing is that other than a sore throat, the cold symptoms themselves aren't all that bad. It's mostly that I'm tired as hell, my back hurts, I have swollen lymph nodes all around my neck and jaw, and I've been sleeping away the day. I don't know if I have a fever, but if I do, it's pretty mild.

Bleh.

1. Strep?

Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. Being sick sucks.

8. Aw, thanks.

:hug:

I'll get my throat swabbed if this goes on. Bleh, viruses/the bad kind of bacteria suck.

2. Seasonal flu?

It is the time when it starts appearing....

9. ...

4. well it sounds like the flu to me, you do know the vaccine ain't guaranteed don't you?

furthermore i just read this morning that a lot of the vaccine is counterfeit


and besides you were supposed to get TWO flu vaccines this year, there is another seasonal flu besides h1n1 going around

before i would panic and assume things like lupus, sudden onset of chronic fatique, or any other illness that will impact your life for years, i would assume...if i hear hoofbeats it's probably horses

see a doctor

7. Makes sense.

At any rate, I'm seeing my doctor on Wednesday for something else so I'll see how I feel then.

10. The vaccine is counterfeit?!

Where the hell did you read that bullshit?The vaccine is all government purchased straight from the manufacturers! But if you read it on teh internets it must be TWOO! But what the hell do I know. I only work for a company that makes the vaccine.:banghead:

[lightningandsnow]

12. But you're an evul big pharma shill!

:sarcasm:

5. Any chance you have mono?

My brother had it and those symptoms sound awful familiar

[lightningandsnow]

6. It's too early to tell...

I've only been sick since yesterday, so who knows. I'm seeing my doctor for something else Wednesday morning, though, so I'll ask him.

11. I have the same thing. It started yesterday.

My temp was 102 last night and is 100 right now but I don't feel to the touch like I have a fever. (I have MS which might have something to do with that.)
