H1N1

Wednesday, 14 October 2009 – 18:55 EDT

Anyone want it? I don't.

I took my first sick day from work in years. I have a fever (102 and every single symptom on the list. I spent most of the day in bed and I hurt like hell. The headache is the worst, and every single drug I've tried as failed to stop it. 

The symptoms of the H1N1 Flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of common seasonal flu.  The most common H1N1 symptoms include:

  • Fever – particularly a fever of over 100 degrees  (102)
  • Sore throat
  • Cough (dry hacky)
  • Chills and fatigue (yes)
  • Body aches (joint pain)
  • Headache (brutal)
  • Occasionally, vomiting and diarrhoea (projectile)

I've been in bed most of the day. That's probably good on one hand. I'm sweating constantly — sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Anyway, I'm cranky. Now you know why.

    You need to go see a doctor. Don't argue. Just go!
