Swine Flu - Page 11

Oops unlucky Flibster!

I'm still feeling like utter crap but I'd rather not go to the doctors. I figure regardless of the name, it is essentially a virus which means rest and plenty of fluids should sort it. So I'd rather wait it out than drag myself to the doctor's surgery and potentially catch something else while I'm there!

I have to go to the docs twice a month to pick up hayfever medication. Thank goodness the season is coming to an end soon. In any event I try to get in and out as quickly as possible.

If they try that "quarantine" trick on me, I'd demand to leave the surgery pronto. I'd rather leave the building than go into some quarantine room. Less chance all around.

I just back from bulgaria on a plane full of swine flu victims, gotta love the smell of recycled swine flu air!

Every time I've had normal flu that's about it. Always seem to be ill at work, have 2 days off, then back as all's good again.

Bulgaria?! Hope you had fun.

As for the plane, er yes, that one's inevitable now. I have that to look forward to myself.

Had to go to docs today for an unrelated thing had a chat about how I've been. I said I was pretty sure I hadnt had it as I didn't feel like I wanted to die which is how I generally feel when I have had flu in the past. She said rule of thumb is if someone can get themselves to a doctor they havent got normal flu. However swine flu is much milder generally and I probably have got it. She offered me the tamiflu stuff but I said there's not much point now as I'm out the other side as it were.
STILL cna't eat though! Incredibly shakey and weak but just cant face putting anything in my mouth. Makes me gag, and everything is...er...going straight through anyway.

Getting on the scales at the docs today was a very happy experience though!

Oh dear... they're threatening to bring antibacterial wash for people to cleanse themselves with here on arrival to the office

Pebs · 21-07-2009, 13:28

Hehe it's all over the police station, as well as posters saying if you so much as sniff dont go to work and it won't be counted as a period of sickness when it comes to applications for other roles etc. So tempting to have another day off!

haha - yeah and apparently the government are stating you can self-certify your symptoms for up to 2 weeks off?!

We've had it in all the toilets for a couple of months now, by no means compulsory though.
