swine flu
I responded to my bud toomutch- but wanted you all to know its real. I travel a lot- especially recently looking for work (which I found! Thank God!!)- also found this crap- probably on a plane. I had to go to hospital last night at 4am and they diagnosed me with it-
i told them about my tapering and crap- which they did the normal benzo/atropin thing, along with nausea/diarrhea meds. they had me sign some crap and documented it- this is the real deal. be careful, and believe me it will wreck your digestive system big time. first symptoms for me were exteme nausea and sweating/shaking. I have been a wreck (more than usual) for 4 days at least (really thought it was withdrawals) and finally went to ER last night because I was so dehydrated and shaking even more. the shaking was freaking me out the most- but they iv'd me for dehydration (from the - well you know)

they didnt keep me- seemed more concerned about documenting it....they told me to stay at home for 4 days and not have contact with my family- and to watch the showers and places the fam shares. I cant believe the crap that has happened to me- but I did get a job and am taking the approach that this is all happening as a learning experience....probably dumb, but thats how I am looking at it. Still breathing!!!! I am still shaking like a tree in a hurricane - i can barely type this.
thanks TM

thanks to all- I appreciate you. youre an awesome group of people. I kind of got a weird combo of finding my job (and saving my house etc etc) , and getting this crap- is that a psychological speedball? (not that i do speedballs- done other stuff but never that- not that any of you give a flying ****)
If i never contribute anything else to you all- Have humor in life, if i didnt laugh i would flip out....think i might watch a comedy. i do love the bob and tom show....think i will watch it.
much love and sincerely-

Thats huge news dub! I mean there has only been one confirmed case in the states and you're confirmed case number two? Intense! And you found a job while you were so sick! Well done on that mate! Considering how sick you been I'm really surprised they sent you home....
I'm sorry but all this got me questioning are you for real? or are ya just joking around with us?
Anyways regardless of the answer to that question I hope you feel a whole lot better really soon! :ghug3
