[QUOTE="lmf64, post: 318708, member: 7736"] A few weeks ago I had flu-like symptoms and called the phone nurse to see if I should come in to be tested. I was told, it's too early in the season for seasonal flu so they are saying everyone with the symptoms they have H1N1 and to quarantine themselves unless they have underlying health conditions that make treatment with TamiFlu a necessity. The only people they wanted to come to be treated are, children under 5 or with underlying health conditions, pregnant women, adults with underlying health conditions (heart, lung, diabetes, transplant), and anyone who has flu-like symptoms feels better and then begins running a fever again. I was very happy our local clinic got their vaccines in yesterday. My niece is 1 and nephew is 3. They were scheduled to get their seasonal flu vaccines (2nd part for the little one, complete for the older one) this afternoon and were able to get the H1N1 done at the same time. I wish my parents could get the vaccine. They both have severe underlying conditions (congestive heart failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), one of each), but where they are wintering they are not giving the vaccine to adults (except pregnant women). We have a very good friend of the family who is right now in a drug induced coma to keep him from pulling the tubes and whatnot out. He has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)/Emphesyma and currently has an infection on his lungs. They did do the test for H1N1, but haven't gotten the results back yet. If he is able to recover from this he will be at the top of the list for a lung transplant, but as of this evening it's 50/50 if he'll even be able to recover. Please pray for him and his family. difficult child doesn't know what's going on with him. I don't know if I want to tell him.
