    I have hardly gotten out of bed today. My back and shoulders, and legs hurt.
    I have what feels like the beginning of a sinus infection, sneezing and coughing

    I have doc appointment tomorrow ... The TV in my room is not working, well the cable that is. but cable is working everywhere else. Last I herd there was confirmed pig flu Carroll county, I am on the carroll county line, and was in that same hospital with my mom...

    if I have pig flu- Iam gonna be pissed. back to bed. if I disappear, look for pig flu deaths in GA

    just took my temp- 101.6....

    not last weekend, but the weekend before... I took the kids to Fern bank musume... we were on an elevator with a family visiting from NY... and the mom sneezed like 4 times while in the elevator. I felt bad thinking it was my perfume that made her sneeze. But I saw them in the parking lot and she was sneezing then.

    I went outside to feed the dogs, and normally that is when I sneak and smoke. Because I have to stand out there and make sure the fat ass dog does not eat the good stuff (canned food) off the top of everyone's food.
    I light up, and my throat is too sore to smoke.

    My head is killing me ... I have a feeling this little piggy has the pig flu

    Swine Flu is a respiratory disease that is caused by a subtype of the Influenza virus type A (H1N1). Influenza is a virus that infects primarily humans, pigs, and birds. Scientists believe that this particular subtype has mutated from a type that primarily infects pigs into a new form that is now transmittable through direct human-to-human contact.

    In the U.S., the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently has sole authority to confirm positive test results for Swine Flu.

    While the situation is rapidly evolving and varies by location, in general, a clinical approach has been recommended by some public health agencies, based on the following patient types:

    * Worried well: The physician’s management will dictate whether testing is appropriate.
    * Symptomatic persons with known exposure, recent contact or travel to Mexico: Clinicians should be instructed to send samples directly to their local public health department.
    * Symptomatic persons, but no known high probability exposure: Testing can be performed in Quest Diagnostics and other private clinical laboratories that provide appropriate testing services. For patients who test positive for Influenza A, samples will be sent for subtyping as instructed by the local public health department.
    * IMPORTANT NOTE: The preferred sample types are nasopharyngeal aspirate, wash, or swab specimen or nasal aspirate or swab. These samples should be put into VCM transport media and kept refrigerated (Do Not Freeze). All polyester (dacron and flocked nylon swabs) are acceptable in V-C-M or M4 with 2 to 8 C transport.

    * A confirmed case of Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Virus (S-OIV) infection is defined as a person with an acute febrile respiratory illness with laboratory confirmed S-O IV infection at CDC by one or more of the following tests: real-time RT-PCR or viral culture. (Acute febrile respiratory illness is defined as a measured temperature of 37.8 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and recent onset of at least one of the following: rhinorrhea or nasal congestion, sore throat, or cough.)
    * A probable case of S-O IV infection is defined as a person with an acute febrile respiratory illness who is positive for influenza A, but negative for H1 and H3 by influenza RT-PCR, or positive for influenza A by an influenza rapid test or an influenza immunofluorescence assay (IFA) plus meets criteria for a suspected case.
    * A suspected case of S-O IV infection is defined as a person with acute febrile respiratory illness with onset within 7 days of close contact with a person who is a confirmed case of S-O IV infection, or within 7 days of travel to community either within the United States or internationally where there are one or more confirmed S-O IV cases, or resides in a community where there are one or more confirmed cases of S-O IV infection.

    For more information, please visit the CDC's web page on specimen collection.

    I was coughing last night, woke up and my eyes felt like sand, my nose was stuffed up and I was sneezing and my ears have been bothering me all week and I have headaches off and on. I think it's sinus/allergies. Maybe that's what you have too.

    I have pooped 4 times today and thought I was going to vomit, but it all passed and I feel better now. My eyes quit bothering me, I quit coughing and sneezing. It's weird. I'll probably die tomorrow.

    I'm back to feeling like poop, but I don't think it's the swine flu.

    well my doc confirmed today that yes I am a pig... but no pig flu. I asked if I got worse , should I take some Tamiflu... He did not believe me when I said I had Tamiflu at home. I explained how I had it and that my husband was vet... he still said " Well I am sure vets dont use Tamiflu.. and I am sure they can only order animal drugs" What a dumb ass, the ONLY animal drugs we have is ivermectin, advantage, strongid, and telazol and Euthasol.... I am pretty sure 95% of everything else is for humane use...might be sold to us from a vet supply company, but it is for humans.

    anyway- he said as he was walking out ... so he show off and be funny in front of his nurses ... "I dont think you have swine flu - but if start to feel worse, you can take your dog pills" and laughed..

    I am kinda tempted to take my a few boxes of Tamiflu up there tomorrow. If I do, I will take a pic of his ass as he looks at it.

    I hate that doc, It is a group of docs, I normally get the Indian or the fat lady... I have only seen this one 2x and both times he was a dick. First time was over 9 years ago, when I went to him about my weight... and he said "leave the cookies alone" and he did not believe me that I ate right, and was still fat... turned out I had Cushings... and had a tumor in my fucking head making me fat.

    I mentioned that to him today, he just said "I am sure referred you to a specialist" NOPE ... you told me to leave the cookies alone. he changed the subject. Funniest thing is that he is fat.... fatter then me... I should have told him to take his own advise. fucker

    I had forgotten all about his ass till today... ugly big tooth fat ass bastard wearing his pants above his belly , creating a gross fat man camel toe when he sits down. fucker. I really do want to take his pic now, and display his camel toe all over the internet...

    I feel like throwing up on him. I just want to puke.

    Poop count 7-8 times, still feel like I gotta go, stomach churning, wanna vomit.

    I also started spotting with back pain and cramps. I just got off of it and now it seems like it's starting again.

    I wonder what's wrong with me?

    Well the wife had a hysteractamy and her gall blatter removed yesterday morning, they are saying that is what led to a lot of her back pain and 'ill' feeling. Apparently the cysts on her ovaries were endometrosis and they were attached at points to her bowel and some part of her back. So lots of work and she is in the hospital till thursday.

    I was told I had endometriosis... but my pregnancy cured it. and I have had a few ovarian cysts rupture... no fun.

    I am starting to think other then population control... all the reasons we spay pets (health reasons) may very well be good for humans as well.

    that is some big surgery for a human... I hope she is doing good. And I hope you 'baby' her when she gets home.

    No I am serious, look at the female problems dogs get from not being spayed... breast cancer, huge cysts... pyo. Whenever we spay an older dog or cat... the whole uterus looks fucked up... and when over 6-7 years old,,, 80% of the time the ovaries have huge bubbles on them... and spayed pets live longer... maybe humans should start getting spayed around 35...
    I know in humans they have to start taking hormones and crap... I think... I dont know much about spaying humans. But hell just think about it, no more periods, no worrying about getting knocked up at age 40 and having a down syndrome baby.

    I thought you only had one that was yours... I did not know about the other 2... so yeah , maybe we should neuter your ass while we are it.

    btw... I just gave birth to a large brown baby boy... he was a splasher

    I had seven baby boys yesterday... all brown and one preemie today (no I didn't shit myself, it was just small) I lost three pounds from them.

    I agree and think that hysterectomies should be elective. I ask for one every year and my gyno says no. I'm going to ask again this year. It's just another place to get cancer and so what if I grow a beard?! I am not having kids and I have no libido now, so I don't need any of those organs, just rip 'em out and sew me shut.

    But I think a hysterectomy would be a pretty big deal. I had a laparoscopy (big ovarian cyst) and it was a big deal to me. I was a total sissy about it.

    I think I will mention how badly my back hurts again today.

    Yeah, I was doing a little of that. (Not throwing up) I was saying goodbye to my brown babies. I like to watch them until they are out of sight.
