[Ky.hen 5]

Hey friends,

Sorry I haven't been on here much this week. I have been really sick with this nasty flu. I have been struggling to get enough fluids in and keep all the nasty tasting meds. down. I feel a little better today. Doc said I might be able to go back to work on Monday. We just have to wait and see. :confused1:

Thank you all for your comments. I feel better today. I also had an acute sinus infection and broncitis. I'm just glad the meds are working.

If you start to show systems of the flu, please go to the Dr. asap. I was feeling bad one day and the next day I could hardly move. Very weak and felt like I couldn't breathe.

So please be carefull and take care of yourselves. I work in a room with 28 kindergarteners all day. Needless to say, they don't always cover their mouth while coughing.

Ky Hen, hope you feel better fast. Anyone working with children is likely to get the flu...All I can say, is bless your heart, for the work you do. You are forming our future leaders.

How do the test to see if it's HiNi?

Hope you're all better soon.

[Ky.hen 5]

Thank you.

Daisy, they do a nasal swab that takes 20 minutes. They can also do a blood test.

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

Thanks. That's good to know. I have been wondering how they can tell if it's that or regular flu.

I hope you're feeling better today.

Actually about 90% of the Influenza A in the US now is H1N1, so if you've got the flu, you've probably got H1N1. The nasal swab only tests for whether you have the flu, and whether it is Type A or Type B. To further type it for possible H1N1, the specimen has to be sent to a special lab, like the CDC. That's not done too often.

I have been home sick for the past two days, feeling better now. Maybe it was H1N1, I don't know.

Hope you are feeling better soon. It's doing the rounds this side of the pond too, together with sickness bugs, and I like you work with children so only a matter or time I guess....

So sorry that you were feeling unwell but I am glad that you are feeling better! Stay well.
