Aussie Flu

The boys and I have flu. It's really bad with temp around 39.9.

I've thought I've had flu before but I'm now thinking not... lol I look up the symptoms and they are the following (which we have everyone one and taken from the NHS website)

Flu symptoms come on very quickly and can include:

a sudden fever – a temperature of 38C or above
aching body
feeling tired or exhausteddry,
chesty cough
sore throat
headache
difficulty sleeping
loss of appetite
diarrhoea or tummy pain
nausea and being sick

The symptoms are similar for children, but they can also get pain in their ear and appear less active.

Now the Aussie strain of flu is killing people across the world so I looked up if it had any different symptoms and found this wrote.... it made me smile. Sorry if this is the ramblings of a delious person.

AUSSIE FLU SYMPTOMS:
Every time you get rid of it, it comes right back at you.
You call every one Sheila, even the Doctor.
You're too weak to ring pull open a can of Fosters.
You hope your nurse is named Kylie.
You ask for Vegemite instead of Marmite.
In the Hospital bed you shun Pyjamas and wear a thong (flip flops).
You can't understand why the NHS doesn't serve pies for Breakfast.

Anyway if you have flu take care of yourself and seek medical attention if it's getting worse.

Hope you & family recover soon.

I have one friend who got flu, it developed into pneumonia, and he was hospitalized for 10 days and on oxygen.

I get a flu immunization every year. I've been told that each immunization adds to the previous years, in such a way as to improve your overall ability to "not get so hardly hit" by the lastest strain.

Last Time I got a shot I got the flu sad bad, I think I was off work for 4 weeks, vowed never to have a shot again, never had the flu since, that was back in 69, I also know a load of others who never get the shot, same reason.

Tara you just take it easy to you feel your up to it, its no good going back to work to soon as your system will be weak, same with the boys.

Chin up and drink lots of fluids and don't forget the chicken soup, its one thing that really does work.

Thank you xoxo

I'm starting to pick up. We all had our flu shots in November so I think we have gotten a weaker version.

I'm still on maternity leave until 1st of May so just looking after my boys.

I've had it with the flu. It's been going around for a couple of weeks now, and I'm already feeling itchy and tired. The daycare staff is supposed to be picking me up at 3:00, but they're always late. If I stay home, it's just going to get worse. So I've decided that this flu season is going to be a nightmare. Anyway, I've seen some doctors that are using. In this way, they have access to all your records. In this way, they will improve the speed of work and the quality of the treatment.
