blixkin Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I recently got a gastro-intestinal virus...most likely from the taco bell i ate on saturday. Needless to say, i've been in the bathroom often and I made a trip to the emergency room. I've also missed 2 days of school. Never eat Taco Bell guys...

jkinzer Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I got the flu right before Thanksgiving. Had a 103 temp for two days. Turned into bronchitis and sinusitis the week before my finals. Cool stuff. I'm really hoping I can get it again before the flu season is over. Hopefully my flu shot won't hurt my chances. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlusher Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 According to sources, Flu has no cure, due to the reason that flu changes every year..Last week, I thought I had flu and went to doctor, but whew I had bronchitis. On an interesting note, I just found out that Flu is a virus and has no permanent cure, while bronchitis is similiar, only that it is bacteria, not virus, and has a cure. Just about moment ago, I took my friend to see doctor since he possibly has the flu due to the similiar symptoms (sp?) that flu has. While being there in WR (waiting room, heh) lot of people had the mask on to prevent from getting flu from the flu patients..pretty scary..

Yuxi Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I haven't gotten it since...well I never did. Go Me!! :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 only that it is bacteria, not virus, and has a cure. As long as anti-bacterial medication ie penecillin and such is not overused. If it is then its going to harder and harder to treat. My dad had to get some fairly strong anti-bacterial meds. He was throwing up in 1/2 hour after taking it. Its that strong. Now fun. I only wish people would **WASH THEIR HANDS**. :angry: If they did, the flu virus wouldn't spread as easily. We should all don the Michael Jackson medical mask. I had the flu last year. Pretty nasty one. Throwing up. Fever. Coughing. Lost my voice had to press on my trachea to talk. :( Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt74441 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I get my flu shot every year, and I've never had the flu. I did get the Norwalk Virus (or the gastro-intestinal bug) last December, and it was the worst week of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
