...indeed...appropriate universal precautions are a good place to start, so as to lessen chances of contraction...

Are you feeling better and recovered yet? Was it H5N1 you had or just the normal horrid flu? Hope you're better, staro!

I just had a bad flu but they took chest x-rays yesterday to see why I am getting better so slowly. I am better than I was, however. It is wearing, though. I am tired.

((Staro))) sure hope it goes away soon. Feel better.

Staro feel better soon.

H5N1 - is that what we all got vaccinated against several years back? There was a big scare at the hospital I work at and everybody got the vaccination.

I am not sure Neesy. I think it was called the asian flu or something. We haven't had a case of H5N1 until this person in Calgary here in North America for dying,though. China is saying there must be contact with deseased chicken but how did this person get it in China? Apparantly, she was not around any chicken so something is not clear for sure.

Now that you mention, I think we were vaccinated for H1N1, not H5N1 - I did not get a flu shot this year yet and don't really plan on it. I swear I get really sick every time I get a flu shot but then I used to be allergic to eggs when I was young. I was told you should not get the flu shot if you are allergic to eggs.

(((Staro))) I hope you're feeling a lot better soon.

Staro, sending out healing vibes. The flu can really knock the body down, might be why taking so long to recover- also the extreme cold has the immune system down already.

Drink some Newfie screech - no germ can survive that stuff!

The victim of this avian flu was a twenty year old nurse at Red Deer Hospital. So sad.

Horrible...

I was getting better and now, this morning, I woke up sick with sore throat and congestion again. What the heck is up with that?

 

[king family fan]

(((Staro))) rest and feel better.

"It's the first human death from the bird flu in North America."

and you say she was only 21 years old @staropeace? Now that IS scary!

Did you overdo as you started feeling better? That can relapse a person pretty quick.
