H1N1

I have the H1N1.  I woke up this morning at 4:45am with the worst stomach ache I’ve had in years!!  I have a temp of 102º, I’m cold, I’m hot, stomach ache, and other things that you can use your imagine with.  Here are the warning signs:

What are the emergency warning signs?

In children

  • Fast breathing or trouble breathing
  • Bluish skin color
  • Not drinking enough fluids
  • Not waking up or not interacting
  • Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
  • Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
  • Fever with a rash

In adults

  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
  • Sudden dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Severe or persistent vomiting
  • Contacted work and told them.  I was supposed to be at work at 2pm.  I can’t even leave the house.  Drs. office says:  "you have symptoms, you can’t go anywhere."

    It’s all over the place here.  The Univ. of Platteville is full of it. 

    I was sick of sitting in the chair/recliner.  Had to get up and do something.  Did laundry.  Then came on here to see what everyone else is doing.  I’m bored.

    I hate being sick and being alone.  This is when my anxiety level goes very high.  It puts me into a panic mode.  I want to run, but have no where to go.  My heart rate goes sky-high.  I’ve left the tv on, so my mind doesn’t go off on a tangent. 

    I pray that all of you stay well.  If you contact the H1N1, let your medical provider know.  It’s important so they can report it to the CDC.

    Thanks for each and every one of you.  You’re all great!!

Rest and drink plenty of fluids. I am surrounded by coughing kids all day long and I am worried I will get it, too. I need to go get a flu shot!
