FLu season for the most part is over, now we are into Allergy season, which can make you feel rundown, sniffly, and kinda flu-like.

When I first get the flu, I get really tired and my body aches. Start drinking lots of fluid/natural juice right now! You will thank yourself later!

no.  but it is a 95% probability it will be here. latest news was in indonesia 8 family members got flu but no bacterial contact. could it be airborn.? strain has mutated so now tamiflu is left a possible slowdown cure of virus. my advise to you is to stockpile o.c. meds, water and canned foods. if it goes airborne. we have a pandemic. no food, no workers, no power, no hospital care once its full blown. do not trust meds or promises of cure over internet. AS OF NOW THERE IS NO CURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS WHY WHO IS WORRIED. LOG ONTO WORLD HEALTH ORG. FOR MORE INFO. this is mexxxi. p.i. lol

i have had similar problem....if you can keep up drinking and eating you should be fine, if continues through tomorrow though, take a run into the doc or walk in clinic just to be sure as it could be flu. hope you feel better...mine lasted for 3 days. hope this may be of some help or comfort to you!!

Well,\n\nA person only gets one flu shot per season, so it would seem to me that the flu shot gives protection for the entire flu season.\n\nThen you get to do it again next year!

if your temp is 96.6 you most likely don't have the true flu. yuou propably have the latest stuff thats going around you get a cough that lasts for a while and you feel miserable. and no that temp is nothing to worry about. some people have lower than 98.6 for their normal temps, and some have higher.

there is no 100% prevention from influenza.The two best ways to assisst you in reducing your chances of getting influenza are: 1) Get your flu shot every year. The flu season is late this year so it is still not too late to get immunized. 2) Proper handwashing technique. Wash your hands in a downward position under warm water for 20 seconds using soap. Be sure to scrub under your nails and in between your fingers. Dry with electric dryer or papertowel and then turn off the taps. If you touch anything -do not put your hands into your mouth before you wash. Cleanliness is the second best prevention. BUT remember there is no 100% protection

No.  It's total fearmongering, just like the governments all over the world did with 9/11, and Anthrax in the mail etc...\n\nA virus cannot try to mutate.  It just does it.  Flu season for this year is almost over, and who knows what will happen in time for next flu season?

I am not relying on them.

Results have been presented yesterday, Wednesday, in a press conference held in the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Speakers included Prof. Hannoun, Emeritus Professor at the Pasteur Institute and Dr. Mumcuoglu, developer of Sambucol®. \n\nLaboratory trials held in a leading research institute, Retroscreen Virology \nLtd, associated with the University of London found Sambucol® to be at least \n99% effective against the Avian Flu virus H5N1. Sambucol® was effective at \nsignificantly neutralising the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures. These \nresults will also be presented during the International Conference on Bird Flu: \n“The First Pandemic of the 21st Century. A Central Role for Antivirals”, to be \nheld at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on January 19th-20th 2006. \n\nDr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, is looking into further investigations into the \nactivity of Sambucol® against Avian Flu on a wider scale. \n\nIn an earlier study (1995) Sambucol® was found to be effective against a wide range of influenza strains. Laboratory studies conducted at the Hebrew \nUniversity – Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem demonstrated the activity \nof Sambucol® against human, swine, and avian influenza strains. \nSambucol®'s efficacy was also demonstrated in two double blind, placebo \ncontrolled clinical studies. Sambucol® was shown to cut the duration and \nseverity of the common flu by up to half. \n\nENDS \n\nNotes to editors; \nSambucol® is based on an active substance isolated from the black elderberry. \nManufactured by Razei Bar Industries Israel, Sambucol® is available in 17 \ncountries and in the UK is sold in Tesco, leading chemists, independent health \nfood stores and wholesalers from £8.49. \n\nFor photography please visit the following site and enter the log in details: \nFTP address: ftp://pixelit.co.il \nuser name: ftp_razeibar \npassword: 63+84675 \n\n\nFor further press information please contact: Francesca Gaffey/Cheryl Davies, \nCommunique Public Relations, Waterside, No2 Canal Street, Manchester, M1 \n3HE.

Sister, I wish I were a doctor!  I do know that when I am in the first stages of the flu, I get light headed, even dizzy to the point of the room spinning, but I don't pass out.\n\nIf you have the flu, if that is what it is, it could say a lot about being winded.\n\nHowever, and this just recently happened to a friend.  Ask the doc about Human Parvo.  Have you heard of it?  The lump might even be caused by this.  All your other symptoms point in this direction also.  \n\nI think you told me that you were seeing your ENT tomorrow, and I hope it's early.  Look it up on your fave health sight, or just google it or go to about.com.  Anything!\n\nA blood test will tell if you have this.  Don't miss the doc appointment.  I'll pray for you!
