She has high blood pressure, but, articles I’ve read say that isn’t considered ‘an underylying condition’.

She has hemochromatosis (too much iron in her blood) and has to have blood drawn every month. I don’t know if that is considered an underlying illness or not.

She’s 52. The docs said that had she not been in such good health, she probably wouldn’t have made it. So, no, no underlying condition.

Take care of yourself. My sister (an MD) told me that some patients are seeing this thing to move into the lungs after the initial week. That’s certainly how it felt with me. After coughing for almost a month, I ended up having to go on Advair to clear it up.

I wish I had the other chart (the one specific to swine flu handy). IIRC, it mentioned some stomach issues as a common symptom.

Get your rest, drink tons of fluids (non-caffeineted), and odds are you'll be fine soon. Any breathing problems, get it checked out, though.

I caught it, and it sucked.

But both my doctor and the PA at Urgent care said it was a “mild flu”. I believe them.

First of all, is this dangerous?

Not unless you're allergic to eggs.

The nasal vaccine is a LIVE form of the virus and my stepfather's doctor told me that it wasn't a good idea for my kids to get this at school (not that they would anyway, but it was a medical reason as to "why" they couldn't) because of his low immune system.

If you have asthma or have an immunodeficiency, get the shot instead.

Creepy spam or from the government?
I’m thinking spam.. sad that it’s getting harder to tell anymore. I know I never signed up for anything.

You have received this e-mail because of the launching of State Vaccination H1N1 Program.

You need to create your personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov website. The Vaccination is not obligatory, but every person that has reached the age of 18 has to have his personal Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site. This profile has to be created both for the vaccinated people and the not-vaccinated ones. This profile is used for the registering system of vaccinated and not-vaccinated people.
Create your Personal H1N1 Vaccination Profile using the link:

Wait, you got that in your email???

Wow, so the CDC is spamming folks to get a FLU vaccine?

This is getting weirder and weirder.

Yes, I got it today and did a double take. The first thing I thought of was posting it here to see if anyone else has gotten it. It seems scammy right off but look at the government right now, it made me wonder.
