| Hi Folks, Swine flu advice. It is horrid, you don't want it. Snotty nose - Yes Sore throat - Yes Aching muscles - Yes Diarrhoea - Yes Tiredness - Yes Lack of appetite - Yes Cough / breathlessness - Yes Headache - Yes Your head will feel like it will explode, you will become and olympic sleeper and your temperature will be 38+ You will have no control of your temperature which will rocket from freezing to boiling and back in a matter of minutes. Bed linen and underwear will need changing just from your new found ability to sweat like a melting glacier. Matthew - not giving in to the grim reaper just yet. by: 82.12.245.21 |
| Sorry to hear this Matthew, I always thought it happened to someone else, certainly not to someone that you know. I've got an official NHS Swine Flu leaflet here due to the fact that I thought I might have the dreaded nonsense recently (I didn't), no doubt you've got all the appropriate info. Get well soon (which you will), and then I want you to be 100% honest with me and admit to spelling the word "diarrhoea" above, without having to look at the dictionary ! Steve by: 93.96.36.127 |
| I did not use a dictionary to spell that word 'Diarrhoea'. No need to when you can cut and paste.... Ooh that didn't sound too good in that context. Matthew - sick and tired too. by: 82.12.245.21 |
| Sorry to hear of your affliction. One of my coworkers got swine flu, sure hope I don't get it as we work in close proximity to one another. His case was mild, I guess, he was out for three days or so. Lost five pounds though. by: 198.252.12.196 |
| Brother Mathew, Rest and get well soon. Chris by: 69.153.86.42 |
| I forgot to add ADVICE: 1.Take pain relief But sparingly or you won't have any left for when you feel like you may die. 2.Drink plenty of clear fluids - I don't do water so have become a squash (cordial)(?soda?) adict. 3. Keep hydrated, 2 litres a day or you will feel really really ill. 4. Tissues are a must, snot in them, bin them and keep the germs where they belong. You will need several boxes, each. 5. Rest, rest, rest and don't rush back to work. Have you seen the paperwork they have to do if you die at work?!! Matthew - on the mend by: 82.14.84.249 |
| ]No need to when you can cut and paste.... Ooh that didn't sound too good in that context OMG... farking hysterical... glad to see your humour is still intact. Meanwhile, the King's English spelling... would have most certainly eluded me. 'Tis funny though... all our corporate "Software Packages" originate from Winnersh.... so our spell checkers all have to be... "calibrated" for use by us language murdering Americans. ;-) Recover quickly, sir! Cheers! Larry "Boneman" Bone - Once afflicted... does the spelling REALLY matter???? by: 4.154.221.4 |
| That's more like it, now hurry up and get better (I haven't got all day you know), I want to tell you how I got the nearside bearingless drive wheel off....my trike ! I've tried telling my wife, but she won't listen to me anymore. Steve by: 93.96.36.127 |
