Anyone been hit by this yet (and I ain't talking bird flu). It started hitting me last night. This morning I woke up with 101 degree fever. Sweating like a pig. Lots of aspirin and fruit juice. Feeling weak and lots of body aches. There goes my weekend. Wash your hands and take your vitamins. You do not want this year's version of the flu.
LOL - I can just see behad throwing bows and pushing out elderly and the poor as he rushes to get his flu shot ahead of them...
The only time I ever got a flu shot was in 2000, and I got the flu three months later. Haven't done a flu shot since.
It's offered for free thru my employer. Everyone gets one. Cheaper than having workers off sick. But thanks for playing....."Johnny, tell the twin about his parting gifts."
Don't flu shots ultimately weaken your immune system and make you more vulnerable to the flu in the future.
My Dad is 62 and has had the flu one time in his life ~ about month or so after his first and only flu shot. _____________ Btw -- not to freak anyone out, but I heard today you can catch bird flu through the internet.
Well, my fever broke yesterday. Still got a pounding head and body aches. Do what you have to do not to get this year's flu. It sux monkeyballs, bigtime.
No you can't catch the flu from a flu shot, but what most don't realize is that the "immunity" packed into a flu is decided months before flu season. I think sometime in Spring the CDC (?) asks vaccine maker(s) to make flu meds that help defend against 3 or so strains of virii. If a strain other than those included in the immunization happens to be the popular flu strain that year, the flu shot won't help you any. Oh, and I don't plan on getting a shot.
I think your right. The best way to not get the flu or any other sickness is to exercise, get enough sleep, avoid huge amounts of stress and not eating over-processed foods all the time. It boils down to a person's body being alkalin (sp?) or acidic. Alkalin = can't get sick Acidic = can get sick
I need to implant a pH meter coupled with an automatic pH dosing system. I will never get sick again.
A few recommendations: 1.) Wash your hands frequently. Bring your own bucket, water, and soap. Don't go to any vanity set-ups away from home. Only use towels from home to dry. 2.) Don't use the work restroom. Pee in a bottle under your desk when noone is looking(men only) or go to the copy room(yes, sex isn't the only thing occuring in there). 3.) Don't breathe at inopportune times. Hold your breath around certain people and situations. If you must breathe, then do so by pulling your shirt up and covering your mouth and nose. 4.) Don't let anyone within a five foot circle of you; protect your personal space. Try to avoid meetings. If you must go to a meeting, then sit away from everyone or stand in the corner like a fool pretending your leg is asleep and you can't sit. 5.) Wipe down your keyboard and monitor each morning when you arrive at work. You don't know what those night people do with all that freedom but, suffice to say, it's not pretty. 6.) Don't sleep with the fan on high during the winter(it's hard...I know). If you still need to hear the noise of the fan, then remove the fan blades or fan blade assembly but still run the fan. If you need to feel the flow of air, then your sh*t out of luck. 7.) Don't eat fast food. If you must eat processed foods, then stick with TV dinners. And, watch out for those working the deli and meat counters. Cough. Hack. Is that fresh? No. 8.) Don't share joints. Don't let people touch your weed. Smoke your cigs alone rather than in groups. Get your own beer and open it yourself. 9.) Don't touch your face. Don't rub your eyes. Don't even motion like you have an itch up there. Don't do it. 10.) Don't sniff the hot chicks in your presence if you can help it. This is just asking for bug entry through the nostrils. If you must sniff, then make it a fast one with a shallow breath. Also, don't ride the escalator. Your just passing through the paths of those adn their germs and bugs in front of you. 11.) Don't follow flu reports; avoid the news and weather. Their pointless unless your looking to get sick. Low, medium, high...we don't control the outbreak zones so why bother? 12.) Don't acknowledge there is such an illness. Flu? WTF is that? That's not the flu...quarantine those sick people! Their sickos. If you do all these things and then call into work saying your sick with the flu(even though your not because you followed the 12 guiding principles), then you have about 5 days off to do whatever you want and won't count against you. Seriously, sorry you got sick with whatever it is, RocketMan Tex.
It's spelled "alkaline". You watched too much Coral Calcium TV ads. FYI, Kevin Trudeau is banned from informercial.
