Swine Flu and the NHS Direct site
I'm not very well, so in the interests of safety I've been checking out
the NHS direct site for clues before I go bothering a professional. During my little wander through the site I came across this little gem on the Swine Flu pages. RunkaBulla said on 19 July 2009 It all started when I woke up this morning in a right mess. I think during the night I may have sharted. My voice has gone all crackling and I have come out in rashers. I am also pinker than usual and I stink. Report this content as offensive or unsuitable I like his style |

Awww, poorly Lozzo.
Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids, take a couple of paracetamol and most importantly, leave the farm animals alone... If you feel really poorly, Aunty Jayne will come round and tuck you into bed with a hammer! Get well soon Sweetie. |

Re: Swine Flu and the NHS Direct site
Queued for 30 mins to get the Tamiflu for my better half, amongst 30-odd others that had also been in contact with the dreaded .
Got her tucked up nice and warm, plenty of fluids & paracetamol - but i can't stop her digging holes in the back garden. Starting to feel cr@ppy too

You've probably already given it to him before it was obvious you had it. If i'm going to get it, and get it bad, i want it now before all the hospital beds get taken.

Re: Swine Flu and the NHS Direct site
to be fair, he was reluctant to catch it and take out half the fire brigade (I hadn't seen him for about 5 days at that point, so relatively low risk). But it did feel a bit harsh when I needed some tlc!

Re: Swine Flu and the NHS Direct site
When I put in my symptoms, it said I was a swine with flu

Re: Swine Flu and the NHS Direct site
it's alright lozzo, I've been feeling crap since sunday. Hot throat, dizzy/lightheaded (although not that bad, just a bit fuzzy feeling) and generally tiredness etc...
Doubt it's swine flu but if it is, I don't feel that bad yet. I never bother with anti biotics unless there's a chance I might be hospitalised so hopefully my immune system will be able to kick the crap out of it without any help. Reckon we could set up a "Swine Flu" section on here? All the infected members could chat in there without fear of the mods doing any moderating, because we're all obviously delerious and talking crap... A bit like putting a bus stop in a home for people with alzheimers disease

Re: Swine Flu and the NHS Direct site
I was at the docs last night and apparantly I had it last week, although they don't test anymore...
Doc said you don't always get a fever btw. My symptoms were general tiredness, severe vomiting and diarrhoea. Lost just over a stone in 6 days with complete loss of appetite. I'm very skeptical whether it was swine flu...and the doctor signed me off with no request from me! |
