It has been confirmed. We have the swine flu. And O has pneumonia on top of it.
It is not as bad as it is made out to be. It is like an average flu, just way longer, and much easier to catch. Though I think my tolerances are off, having over a year in a state of “feeling like I have the flu.”
That said, I can’t even imagine what this would have done to me if I was on IFN, and with the immune system I had at the time. I would be totally wrecked.
The good news is that I am *not* contagious.
O thinks we have the swine flu. H1N1. She got sick a couple of weeks ago and hasn’t really gotten better. I got whatever she got but not quite as bad. We both got better then got worse. Apparently this is normal.
I rode to Eyebeam and back by bicycle for the first time in 20 months, then had a full on dysesthesia attack on the subway and bus the next morning. Night and day. And I have basically been in bed since. I barely survived a trip to the grocery this evening. Came home and stripped down and iced. Doesn’t help that the seasons are changing. The apartment heat just turned on today.
O is going to the Dr tmrw because her flu has turned pnumonia like. I guess we will find out tmrw.
Is the swine flu kosher?
