Probable H1N1

Hey guys!

Of course it would happen to me.... I got a probable case of H1N1 that caused me to have asthma attack. So I am battling both.  Luckily I am over the worst of the flu and I actually didn't get that sick. I didn't really even know that I had it untill my Asthma flaired, and then I called my Pulmanologist who made me come in because this is the second attack in a month.  When I did he asked me if I was achey and had a sore throat at all, which I did, He asked me about a fever which I didn't have but he said that one of the meds I am on Topamax can sometimes mask a fever, and he asked me if I have been naseous or throwing up but I hadn't, even though I was missing those two symptoms he diagnosed me with a probable case of the flu which is all they are doing any more because they don't want to tie up testing facilities in a pandemic and put me on Tamiflu along with my asthma meds such liquid lidocaine, albuterol, atrovent , predinisone, and symbicort. 

I am feeling somewhat better today, I am pretty much over the flu, but my asthma still sucks.

Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well!!

I also want to take this opportunity to thank you guys for all the support on here.  I recently went through some stuff with my ex sister in law and everyone on here was really helpfull and supportive so THANK YOU!!!!

Have a great day!!!

Glad you are o.k. Brianna,

yours is the first case that

I heard it wasn't severe,

I heard one of the rock

stars on Larry King saying

he was in bed for two days

and he said the pain was

severe. Glad you didn't go

through that.

SOOOO,

Just when I thought things where getting better they got horribly worse.  I ended up going into the doctor yesterday, I have H1N1, Pneumonia, and my asthma is flairing which is  causing an attack. So I am home with all of this I can't go back to school untill at least sunday and I can't go back to classes until at least monday.  This sucks big time.
