Open Question: Do I have Swine Flu? Opinions please.?
I am worried I may have contracted Swine Flu. I have been in close contact with somebody from Birmingham for four days (arms distance) and he was sneezing and coughing himself.
On Wednesday I began feeling unwell. Sore throat, swollen glands. and now my symptoms are becoming more severe, I am now suffering bad headache, aching joints and muscles, loss of appetite and I'm extremely tired. All along with a sore throat.
I have called NHS Direct and they said its unlikely because I am 19 but a 19 year old died yesterday of Swine Flu.
Is this the NHS being useless or could I be over-reacting?
I generally feel like death warmed up, I haven't felt this ill in a long time.

moreOpen Question: Spiritually speaking, What would be the worst way the world could end?
I think that the worst way for the world to end would be if Ebola Zaire broke out.
If you don't know what that is, I will tell you. It is a strain of Ebola, and it kills 90% of the people it infects. It is very violent. Initial symptoms include high fever (at least 38.8°C; 101.8°F), severe headache, muscle, joint, or abdominal pain, severe weakness, exhaustion, sore throat, nausea, and dizziness. Later, it causes you to have dark and bloody feces, and vomit blood. It makes you to bleed internally, and makes it so that your blood doesn't clot, and can sometimes make you bleed through all your orifices, like your mouth, and nose. It also basically liquefies your organs into sort of a black soup. Most victims die due to organ failure, or blood loss.when I said "world" I meant humanity.
What would be the worst way humanity could die?

moreOpen Question: Sore Throat/Ear problem for 2+ years?
My problem(s):
sore throat
lower ear canal hurts
throat hurts when swallowing
throat just aches in general
sometimes headaches, hot forehead (no fever though) and body aches
and the same symptomss come back usually every month and typically last for 4 or 5 days, hurting really bad for 3 and then linger away.
At first I thought I just wasn't getting over a flu, but then the problems keep coming back so I thought I was lactose intolerant or had other allergies. A doctor recommended me to take Clairton which didn't work and just gave me nightmares. Another doctor said I just have a weak immune system and to basically get over it. I've tried vitamins, orange juice, lots of liquids, had tests which all came back negative for strep, mono etc and had blood work, xrays, urine tests and throat cultures.
I don't know what to do from here to fix it. If you have any ideas about what my problem is or even how to ease the pain, please please please let me know!
thanks!

Well, I don't drink nearly enough water a day really...At least to what I hear is enough. I have about a glass of water.
I'm getting headaches more often and they get worse, and my lips are so chapped I'm getting blisters. My nose is also starting to peel, too.
I thought it could be a reaction to the sun, but I'm a complete indoors person and I haven't been exposed to the sun for a few days. I experienced pains in my wrists and hands today and I have a worse sore throat than I usually do.
I don't want to go to the doctors because I've had a few recent trips there and got an operation and all. But I'm worried that I'm not getting enough water into my body.
No rude comments, please, and thank you so much!
P.S - Can the water in food count as the necessary intake to your body?

moreResolved Question: Does this sound like I have whooping cough or are these just allergies?
Over a week or two ago, I started to get a runny nose and I was sneezing much. I thought it was just allergies. There were about 2 nights in a row where I had a mild fever, a headache, and I felt nauseas. During those nights, I began to cough intermittantly. It is a dry cough. This week, my nose isn't runny anymore, but my cough has progressively worsened. It hurts my stomache muscles and my head when I cough, but my throat doesn't hurt. But the cough is getting more painful by the day. I've also had watery eyes for the past few days. Tonight it's unusually itchy and watery.
So do these symptoms sound like whooping cough or do you think that this may be just bad allergies? I usually have allergy problems in the fall and spring, not the summer. My coughs are usually accompanied with a sore throat, but I don't have one at all.
I would appreciate the answers :-)I should add that the coughing fits last longer and are more frequent.

moreOpen Question: Am I sick, or a hypochondriac? Tonsils?
Two days ago, I was really sick. I had what felt like a cold in the morning. As the day progressed, I developed a terrible headache. As it went on I found myself having to lay down and when I finally got home, I slept for 8 hours, had a fever of 102, a really tiny cough, and was aching all over along with the headache (that got worse when I sat up or stood up) and thirst/chills. Yesterday, I felt pretty much better after I slept most of the day and went out around 7 with some friends, and when I sat down I realized I still felt a little sick but didn't know how to describe it, other than I felt generally unwell. I wasn't even sick to my stomach and I don't think I had a sore throat. Today, I went out around noon and all day I've had a sore throat, but it just got worse and worse. Now it's almost the end of the day and it hurts a lot to swallow, it hurts a little to talk, and my throat just hurts in general. It's not really causing me trouble breathing, but it hurts in the base of my ears and breathing is only the slightest bit hard. I'm also still a little tired and coughing some.My throat is bothering me a lot and I can't tell if my tonsils are swollen (but I don't think I'd have tonsilitis??) I recently had an eye infection, and today I was hanging out with my close friend who apparently recently had strep throat. I used to be told I was a hypochondriac all the time, so I don't know if I'm actually sick, but I'm not exaggerating. Also, I'm kind of young, so that could affect what I have but also I have Dr.Mom... So if anyone knows anything about this, could you tell me? Thanks!Also, when I press on the front of my neck (not hard), where my adams apple would be if I was a man, it hurts a lot.

moreOpen Question: I got an MRI on my head because of severe headaches, and it showed my sinuses are fully plugged?
Doctor's gave me sinus infection antibiotics, didn't help. They gave me nose spray, didn't help. I frequently have a sore throat because of post nasal drip, a stuffy nose and frequent headaches. I have a pretty nasally voice as well, which makes it hard for me to breathe while talking or even in general.

moreVoting Question: Could I be allergic to sugar?
I am really hurting today after being awful and consuming a hefty portion of cake, brownies and some alcohol over the course of yesterday. I have noticed that, for a while now, I have been having a consistent hangover-type response the day after consuming too much sugar - even if it's just some ice cream before bed. Typical symptoms include:
- migraine/headache
- sore throat
- irritability
- fatigue/weakness
- weakness in breathing
I have *none* of the risk factors for diabetes. I understand that probably the wisest thing to do now would be to try and cut sugar out of my diet for a couple of weeks and see how I feel, but I was also hoping that some people out there might be able to share some insight or personal experience. Thanks!

moreOpen Question: would it be inappropriate to almost scare women when telling them?
what to expect at puberty? To even unashamedly scare them?
Because I am beyond bitter due to all the BS I was fed when I was young. I was given all these lovey-dovey, softly spoken books and leaflets and info in school and even from my parents. What was available, trying to prepare me. Telling me things like :
"you may feel a little ill around the time of your period, such as a headache"
"try getting a hot water bottle to soothe any cramps"
not that I would be a complete mess and have to pop pills and end up going to the doctor thinking I was dying but it was only my period.
I mean why are women not told this?? Why do they say that no-one can tell when you're on your period.. supposedly.. but they don't bother to mention that you need to take a crackly plastic bag and go to the bathroom every 5 hours with a big bag in tow... don't mind me.. just... going into a cubicle with a bag... not on my period or anything. I don't usually do this but I just randomly want to take my bag." or even worse, the ridiculousness and riskiness of hiding it somewhere on your body, for it to fall out in front of everyone? "OOPS I'm so sorry, I just dropped a sanitary pad on your homework, can you please pass it over so I can go to the bathroom and change it without anyone knowing."
then you hear all the crackles and ripping and you take 10 minutes longer.
Or about how the vagina is some sort of tiny hole that must be pried open painfully bit by bit, before anything and I mean anything can GET in, whether it is wanted or needed or not. And how sex hurts and you bleed for like 3 days.
And how you need smear test which means you spread your legs wide on a table whilst someone wedges you open with a pair of metal tongs, then they stick something in you and scrape your insides. I only found this out to my alarm when I was 20!!!!
and how no-one can tell you're on your period but they will notice you going to the toilet all the time, popping headache tablets, holding your stomach, and suddenly getting spots all over your face and being insatiably hungry.
IS IT just me? I feel it's like the 'happily ever after' fairy tail but about our bodies. The Fight Club- "we were lied to- and we are only just realizing it. And we are not happy about it!! "
Is it wrong of me to want to fix this by letting all the girls out there know what the reality is?? I think it's a big sham. Also I was not told PMS was nausea and sometimes vomiting, dizziness/vertigo, sore throat, sore head, leg cramps, diarreah, depression, food cravings, basically everyone seems to think it's some sort of joke, that women get 'moody', whatever that means.
So is it wrong of me because I think if we expect the worst then all that will happen is we are pleasantly surprised/relieved???oh and the fact that birth control can kill you. I didn't find that out either until I went to get my periods regulated, so I asked the doctor at like 15 (before I had the internet lol obv) and it was all WOOO GO AHEAD, ENJOY, PROBLEM SORTED, then I get home and read the pack before taking it and there is a list of 500 ways to die taking them.PMS is before periods, and being on a period does not cause PMS crankiness only feeling bad from the pain, so the insulters should at least get their jokes right.
To assume my negative opinion has anything to do with my periods is exactly the point. Women can get PMS for 2 weeks, and a period for 7 days. Which means there is a high chance a woman when feeling ill or being angry is either on her period or has PMS, what difference does it make? Answer the question please.I never said it was like that for everyone. Not at all. But we are led to believe it's easy and no big deal for everyone. Like I said, surely it would be better to expect the worse and be relieved when it wasn't. I think so, that's all i'm asking.It's not about my own research. I didn't have the internet back then and the advice you got was basically none. Like I said, the doctor didn't tell me any of the side affects and acted like there were none. How are you supposed to know about everything in life if no-one tells you?
That's my point. No-one seems to tell you all this. You can't just go around asking if you're going to have your vagina wedged open one day at the doctors, why would anyone assume that would happen? I got my letter about a smear and wanted to know exactly what it involved before I got one and that's when I found out. Don't try to blame me how does that make ANY sense? Why is it always the woman's fault, i'm sorry ?-- sorry for the lengthnefer, my point is not that it's bad or mocked but women cannot seem to have privacy as they have to indirectly announce it to people. And I don't want people to know i'm essentially wearing nappies or stuffing cotton inside my vagina.like I said I value privacy. I admitted in the start i'm p- off about it, no need to state the obvious. If you do not see what's degrading about the whole situation then you really need to take a a second and think. Just because you enjoy wearing soggy nappies and leaking and so on we do not all enjoy this activity and would prefer to do it in private without telling everyone, much like when we take a big dump

well, on saturday i had a sore throat and a small cough and my leg muscles were aching like crazy. keep in mind that i had broken my ankle and hadnt done sport for about 6 weeks so the schaing might have been to do with the athletics carnival i had on the friday.
any way, on sunday, my throat was worse and my cough was really loud and painful. every time i laughed, yawned, sneezed or coughed, my chest would hurt a lot. my muscles were still achey.
my mum said to see how i felt so i went to bed early with a big headache (though watching tv sure didnt help that) and that night, i woke up and ran to the bathroom and vomitted, and then maybe 15 minutes later i did it again. i was all sweaty, yet i was shivering and i felt hot but i still shivered. it was really weird. i couldnt sleep at all because of it and then this morning (monday) i told my mum and she is letting me stay off of school.
now, she looked up the symptoms of swine flue and they were rather similar to what i had, but i havent come in contact with anybody with a case of swine flu, so she dismissed that and said probably had another flu or im just sick.
well here's the thing; about 2 weeks ago (on the Queens birthday weekend thingy) i went to canberra to meet with my dad, and he had been to melbourne to visit friends or something. i hugged him and stuff, but i dont think he was or is sick.
also, my friend's dad has also been to melbourne and she went to see him (not in melbourne) and she was supposed to be quarantined apparently but she didnt and now we dont have to be quarantined if we have been to melbourne..
so yeah, im just a bit concerned, here are the swine flu symptoms i saw on the internet;
* fever, which is usually high, but unlike seasonal flu, is sometimes absent
* cough
* runny nose or stuffy nose
* sore throat
* body aches
* headache
* chills
* fatigue or tiredness, which can be extreme
* diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu
so do i have it, and if i do what should i do?
moreVoting Question: Why can I not get a fever?
this is an odd question and its not like I'm trying to get one its just very weird... so first off let me explain. I'm a diabetic type 1 since I was 14 years old. the doctors told me that I had 1/10th the immune system a normal person did , blah blah blah cuts take long to heal yeah all that good stuff..
Now since I was diagnosed I have Never not once had a fever... I've been sick to the point where I could barely get out of bed but no fever... I've felt like hell but no fever.
and than for the last 5 days I've been extremely sick I've had a terrible sore throat nonstop headaches congestion dizziness , lack of strength and energy, but every day I wake up I check my temp and its not high my forehead is cold. so I get up and I go to work and suffer through the day I basically get home and go to bed cus I cant do much more but without a fever I decided not to go to the doctor, ( now I know I'm going to get a million reply's saying go to the doctor which is the easy way out of this question , and if i don't get better by Monday I prob will be visiting my doctor.) and waste not only the workday but the doctor's fee I'm a poor college student I cant be wasting money on silly stuff like health...
And so today I was supposed to help my father with something , and once again no fever so I forced myself to go and not half the day had gone by and apperantly I spread waht ever I had to him he was fine before I got there and instantly started feeling terrible and not another hour passed and he had a fever and had to go... now I started wondering ( a fever works when antibody's fight off infections and your body gets hot) so is my lack of antibody's making it so that I cant have a fever , or do I have really good luck at never getting really sick? and I'm complaining for absolutely no reason?

moreResolved Question: Sore throat, stiff neck, ear ache, and headache... what could it be?
About three days ago I got a really bad sore throat and, I'm guessing just from the stress over the sore throat, a headache. A day after that I got a really stiff neck and then yesterday I got an ear ache. I'm 14 and I have state softball in two weeks. I don't want to go to the doctor yet because I don't want to be told I have to get my tonsils out or something and then have to miss state. Anyway, my brother had his tonsils taken out when he was probably 10. Will I have to get mine out, too? Or is it something else?
And yes, I know, I should see a doctor...Yeah, my parents know. It's just a couple years back my throat was hurting kind of like it is now and they took me to the doctor and they said it was just a temporary thing. So, I think that's what they think it is.
