fear the microbial bacon legions

Tue May 26, 2009, 12:59 AM
hi everyone.

just back from doctor. doc thinks i has swine flu. they've sent pathology off. what's hilarious is he said that "if i was running a fever" with the other symptoms they'd assume it was swine flu and be pumping me full of anti-virals and tammyflu and whatnot. the thermometer said 37.5 which is within margin of error of normal, for most people.

fuggin doctors never BELIEVE me when i've said, for over a decade, that when i'm feeling well, i tend to run a degree to two degrees below normal.

har dee har.

don worry too much, tho. the microbial piggy legions may have breached the gates, but they shall be defeated! or something. i probably don't make too much sense right now. i blame bacon flu.

I've been fighting something the last two weeks...it's torn my throat asunder and made me completely misurable

I have heard it said that for all the hubbub surrounding Swine Flu, it's really nothing more than a particularly contagious flu virus. Perhaps a little nastier than normal, but as long as one is in reasonably good health, the proper cure is simply bed rest and fluids.

Now, since you've actually talked with a doctor who knows what the flip they're talking about, I ask for clarification if that's all they reccomended, or if I am horribly mistaken and "talking out of my ass" as some people say.

Either way, stand resolute against the microbiological barbaric hordes, milady!

The doctors never believe my wife when she tells them she's allergic to TYlenol either. I hate doctors.....

At any rate, I hope you get through it quickly!

Get better soon
:iconkite-san:
thanks *hugs* doing my best.

hoping so. and i admit, that i can understand why they don't belive me, normally a body temperature as low as i tend towards is what's called a fresh corpse. doesn't help things though.
:iconkite-san:
"a little nastier than normal" is a very subjective term.

physically i feel WORSE than i did the time i took the blade of an ice-skate to the back of the head and spent time in the hospital, as a comparison point.

but yeah, bed rest, fluids, and for CONFIRMED cases being pumped full of anti-virals to reduce the contaigibility and duration. also quarrantiene, to reduce ther isk of it getting to people for whom it's a much more serious issue.
