Tormod Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 Anyone read "Catching Cold" by Peter Davies? Well...that's how I feel these days. Flat out with just about every symptom imaginable. Tormod Quote
Tim_Lou Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 i dont know if its off topic....i never read this book.but... i remember a news that was a while, it said that a guy from Hong Kong was dead due to the flu virus went up to his brain. flu could be REEEEALLY serious.... seems digressive.....: / Quote
CD27 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 well, seems everyone is getting the flu these days. i jsut recently got over some kind of somach flu. i must say, it is worse than the flu in general. lol, i think i definately broke my record of how many times i threw up in one sitting. seven times. now that hurt really bad. and yea, kinda scray to think that the flu can go up to the brain. eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!!!

Freethinker Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 CD, have you had the flu in years past? Even if it wasn't that bad? Quote
CD27 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 yes i ahd it last year in fact. and it was bad, considering it was my first time. and belive me, throwing up 3 times compared to seven times, well, that's jsut no comparison..also noticing that i had similar symtoms, but not hardly as powerful.

Tim_Lou Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 a vaccine is being developed in china.experience in certain animals are remarkable. but it still needs to be tested on humans. a couple of volunteers are being tested a couple days b4, the data is still unknown.... the whatever association (arh~ dont know that name, its a big intentional thing...) doesnt recommend the chinese to do such examination, however, china didnt stop. but!it will still take like a couple of years b4 this vaccine is out...
