Swine Flu/H1N1 Vaccination - Yes or No?

[BlueTang<3]

So i am the kind of person who hates needles and doesn't ever get the flu shot cause i dont think its right. We have lived how many years with out it? The H1N1 flu shot scared me since if had never been tested on a human and the fact that it came out so fast. I have heard of a few people who have got the shot and really sick now. But the thing is i held back from getting the shot and came home from the hospital last night with meds and had so many different tests done. I have been diagnosed with H1N1 I can not go out in public, have to stay in a little room by my self, the symptoms i never will wish a pone my worst enemies. I have had a flu but this is much worse. The pain that i am in and the amount i suffer is over the top..

I am not only scared for myself but i am scared for everyone around me. One of the girls i worked with went into the hospital thursday last week and they said she had H1N1 and she passed away tuesday night. Its a crazy fast flu that once you get it will be with you. Hope your body can fight it.

If you have any of the symptoms at all please go get checked. I went to one hospital and since i never had the fever( i had ever other symptom) they told me to go home. I knew i was sick i couldn't walk really or breath and i knew i need to do something about it. So i went to another hospital and they took me in as soon as i told them what was wrong(good way to beat the lines) But i am only 19 years old and it was the scariest time of my life. I went myself and never had anyone there for support. Or to be there for me when they told me. The first thing you think is " am i going to die, what do i do, what about everyone i had been around"

I cant get the shot now since its to late for me. But i want my family and friends to get it cause i dont want to see anyone else like this. You have no places for your self. PLease wash hands after coughing and sneezing. and hand sanitizer if you go anywhere.

Dont mean to sound like you have to go get the shot, but this is my story and i know now if i didn't get sick i wouldn't be saying get it.

Feel free if anyone has symptoms to ask about them. I now have all the symptoms and know what extent they go to. If i can help some else before they get as bad as i am i would be so pleased.

Sorry to hear you are so sick. Get plenty of rest and fluids and if you start to get out of breath or find it difficult to breath get to the ER right away.

After sitting down and talking about it my wife and I decided to get the vacination. With her being a public heath nurse the chances of her coming into contact with someone who is infected were almost guarenteed. The only side affect for me is my arm feels like I got hit with a bat where I got the shot.
