H1N1 My experiences
Carrie
Our news seems to be bombarding mothers with the bad news about H1N1, get the vaccine, baby dies overnight, healthy boy quickly sick and passes away. Hearing this news is awful, alarming and continues ones difficult decision to vaccinate or not to... so I would like to share my experiences with H1N1 to start giving another side to this illness.
I hope you will share your experiences with H1N1
Two doctors confirmed my husband had H1N1. Symptoms were a high fever, chest pain, stomach sick, very bad body aches and headaches. Treatment we did was vitamin B and C, drank lots of water, took Engystol and when headaches were really bad did tylenol. The flu is now gone with still a mild cough.

There are situations in which young people catch the "regular" flu, become very ill and die just as quickly as was reported about H1N1. It's just not reported... better reporting that offers perspective is vital in media in order to avoid sensationalism.
Also, pregant women were part of the group to get the H1N1 shot first, yet the "safe" shot for pregnant women wasn't available yet. Hmm... I refused it and my baby is healthy.
