 When I write, I feel as if my brain is gently, uncertain floating inside the skull. In the left ear I hear a weak, rhythmic heartbeat. I hear vaguely right - just effect of tonsil inflammation. When the esophagus, sore throat and still embraces chopped penicillin that bitter pill in the revised not e tissue. From time to time my heart hurts sharply, and when going upstairs, I am hot and the era. However, in comparison to last week I am in great form. What are the little dizziness pulsating pain, which makes even the most soft pillow is like a hard stone, or small problems with the ears to the throat inflammation so severe that the drinking water remind esophagus debris of glass? I feel really bubbly, not to mention the satisfaction of that virus which me over the last seven days, it seems finally ground. May at pigs hysteria associated with influenza, as most people have tried to keep calm and do their job. You probably do not become ill, and if anything, we the disease goes smoothly - just the result of press reports. I saw myself wrapped in blanket, drinking hot beverages and watching serials. In any event, did not provide that the state of indissoluble dilemma in the face, when my body will want to be sick at the same time to the toilet and use it in the usual manner.
It began suddenly. I went to sleep, feeling strange desire - as when - and woke with sore throat. Increased since the week of headache. Neurofen swallow a few tablets, I called the office to make known that I worked from home and sat at a desk. I felt bad, but it has been possible to withstand. Shortly after lunch came the first attack of diarrhea with unspeakable. Afternoon with the children watched "Dumbo" and I realized that I can not raise your head. I felt shooting pain in her arms, legs and chest. It was awfully hot to me ... and maybe cold? I had no idea. When you close your eyes, clearly seen pink elephants. Dancing to the sounds of psychedelic. The next few hours is blurry. Preparing children (4 and 6 years old) to sleep the whole force of will required. I do not know what they promised in delirium and may trips to Disneyland and the entire collection of Lego "Star Wars" attached to the bedroom ceiling, but worked. When the children were already in bed, it's not really sleeping (and somewhat frightened my unusual generosity), I decided to hot bath. It seemed to be appropriate. It was very cold to me, I was tired, I wanted to clean up and warm. Swimming was a relief for my muscle, but not for long. When the husband returned home several hours later and found me in his thick hot water and squeeze into two blankets. Act as a man brought a laptop and logged on to the network to visit the British ministry of health check Pigskin flu symptoms. I had them all. I measured the temperature digital thermometer - 39.8 degree. The next morning, after night, that it is better not to describe the phone call to NHS Direct Recorded message advised him to call to the local practice. Did so. Receptionist was clearly - We are very busy - she said. He promised to check whether the doctor can call us. Days passed. Husband driving to the office daughter to school, and the son was at home with the guardian. Fortunately, the husband and I work full-time throughout the week and is assisted by carers, so I could stay in bed. God knows, as I advised you, if I had to deal with the son. I had problems with access to the bathroom, let alone satisfying the demands. Although my children and so are already in such an age that they could partially take care of yourself. Trying to cope with the needs of infants would be frightening, not to mention a possible threat. The doctor called around the end of the first afternoon. She had votes. It was a nightmarish morning. What are the symptoms I had? It is hard for me to speak because of exhaustion and throat. But I managed to. - My way, it would appear that you have the flu - she said. - Sometimes it is difficult to solve, but a pain in the chest seems to indicate. Do you like Tamiflu or not? I asked what is meant. She explained that it was not quite satisfied, because the medicine has helped some people, but others feel very bad. On the other hand, could help shorten the disease ... I decided to try it. My babysitter promoted to "flu friend," received a prescription and took the first dose of Tamiflu is about the sixth afternoon. After an hour I started to feel something strange in my stomach. I changed positions, improved air-bag, but did not help. I felt sick and barely to the bathroom before my body shed Tamiflu, with the only other thing that I managed to swallow that day - Ribena juice. Three clean pajamas, a few packages antimicrobial handkerchiefs, and all the bleach in a pail washing machine unspeakable dirty sheets later, my body seemed to be satisfied at the end of a chemical is disposed of and returned to a normal fever. I could not be acquired for the next startup of Tamiflu, so the night passed relatively quietly for the trips to the bathroom and lie in sheets. The third day woke up on the sixth morning, thinking only about it. The tonsils had so that I was not able to open a paragraph for more than centimeter. Yesterday I announced that who died after infection of pigs with avian, more spirit in septic shock caused by angina - and Dr. Mark Porter, said in an interview for "The Times" that there is evidence that the type A influenza - the flu pigs - can increase susceptibility to other infection. Since I'm suffering from angina since childhood, it is possible that the flu has increased my vulnerability. I knew that this is a medication: penicillin. Unfortunately, all we have .. How to measure temperature Doctors constantly complain that the caller on the pigskin influenza patients often do not measure the temperature in advance. Here are some pointers on how to do it in an appropriate manner. Temperature above 38 degrees Celsius suggests an infection, while pigs flu is just one of the possible causes. The ideal would be to make two separate measurements at an interval of 20 minutes and see if the thermometer is clean. Old-fashioned mercury thermometer is great for adults but not for children (if that is broken, could swallow the poisonous mercury). Before use, it should be shaken. Digital thermometer can measure the temperature in the mouth (under your tongue for two or three minutes), or - as recommended less - under the armpit (this may be easier for the child). The measurement can be performed under the armpit of the skin by placing a thermometer under the arm and shoulder pressing into the chest. This can take up to five minutes. The result will be slightly lower than the temperature inside of the body - add 0.5 degree Celsius. Do not place the thermometer under your tongue immediately after eating something cold or hot - you must wait ten minutes. Thermometers in the form of the front bar measure the temperature of the skin and are relatively inaccurate. This should be a button to face two to three minutes, and should keep fingers away from items sensitive to temperature. Thermometers are very accurate, but expensive. Read the instructions to find out how many will take the measurement. If the test person was or was on the outside, wait for 15 minutes, her body temperature to be stabilized. |
