Wash ,'Jaynestown'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
But is there any use in getting diagnosed with swine flu? Isn't the treatment just to stay home and rest?
Tamiflu makes a huge difference, if you start taking it within 48 hours of symptoms appearing. I usually get a 'flu jab, because it can take four to six weeks for me to recover from 'flu. With Tamiflu, I was ill for one week. Really good stuff.
My office just announced our company health fair for the end of October. If my department is put up for sale before then, do you think they'll still give me a flu shot?
Our office usually has a mass flu jab fest in the fall. I hope they'll get it going soon, before the current flu makes the rounds and renders getting jabbed moot.
This year you could use two jabs. one for the expected and one for the swine.
yay?

We've had one but I missed it. But even if I had had it, it wouldn't have had time to take effect.
::sigh:: I can try and convince KBD to go to the doctor, but I think it's going to be tough, especially b/c he's unemployed and uninsured.
If you are going to hang, you might take some Purell and clean your hands frequently, just to be extra safe.
This. Also, take 6000 IU of Vitamin D for the next few days.
Bother. My recruiter just emailed me to let me know that I've been turned down for the job she submitted me for last night. Pete and I have decided that the only appropriate response is to go see Zombieland this afternoon.
More from CDC: This flu season, antiviral drugs are being used mainly to treat people who are very sick, such as people who need to be hospitalized, and to treat sick people who are more likely to get serious flu complications.
Okay. I've made a shopping list and I'm going to warn him that I'm going to act as if he has the flu.
Thanks for your thoughts, all. It really helps me to talk type it out.

Hmm. I think they're being given out a bit more widely over here. Still, I fall into the 'potential serious complications' bracket, so that might be why I got the Tamiflu.

Let him rest. Unless he's sicker-than-usual, that's really what he's going to need anyway.
I'm sorry Erin, that's rough.
Also echoing the "sounds like the flu" meme, smonster. I hope KBD gets well soon.
