Hello all readers.I am newcomer .Just was in a mood to share my story .



Swine Flu !
Just recently my friend(Further in story called “Z”) got sick with swine flu ... Of course at the start we both had no idea that this can be so much serious that it seemed.
Ok . I will get back to start . Z was sick for a while with symptoms like for common cold .Within few days time simple cold turn to be serious and came up with strong cough , runny nose and sore throat. Often i was together with Z during this period. Of course without realising about infection possibility .

Then 4 days ago i received message that Z has swine flu . I got terrified ... Even in panic . I went to “Boots” Asking for help .Looking for anything what can help me to stay healthy .And make sure that IF i have virus then i would be fine . They offered me a vaccination, but it starts to work only 10-21 days after injection. That means – If i have virus in my body -vaccine wouldn’t help me.
By the first day evening my throat got sore and it was clear that i got the flu .

Checking more than 4 pharmacies i decided that i will medicate by myself , I got simple “paracetamol” , “strepsils “, “Milk and honey” ,extra “C” Vitamin and my usual herbalife shake (Extra large).
As a result seems that my immune system was strong enough to handle SWINE FLU .


I had flu just with little sore throat and temperature – but some with lack of vitamins and minerals has flu with serious symptoms which ones can even crate some complications ..
Seems that i had a fine week with self medication.


And by the way Z now is better . Temperature has dropped down and cough is almost gone . Hopefully Z soon will not remember Swine flu at all !!!


Thanks.


PS.-Sorry for mistakes in writing.
 
I had a swine flu last year, it was nasty but not too bad really. Plenty of fluids, some paracetamol and some rest cured me.

I should get a badge or something.
 
hey kramer. I did not took flu so easy . I just went to panic . I think that i wached too much tv about flu.
:D
 
Over the years I've learnt not to panic when they annoucement the next killer virus. We have Bird Flu that was going to kill us all, Zsars, Legionaires etc. I just take these warnings with a pinch of salt now.
 
Good for you . I`m still kind in middle of that . Maybe because victim was my friend .

Hopefully next big flu is very far away .
