Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 No, I havent. " Supposedly " , we've had H1N1 in the house. My son came home sick Tuesday. In our community, it is really hitting the kids under 25. The doctors aren't testing because it is an expensive test and it is only 50% accurate... so they just assume that it is H1N1. My son's high school had a 79.4% attendance (about 2000 kids total) - with the district being at 87.3% attendance. So, it hit his school HARD. From what I have heard - they, doctors, are treating this like any flu... chicken soup and rest. There is no cure or shot that will make it better. Here, we are even having a hard time finding Tamiflu - but the doctors won't prescribe it anyway. I personally have nothing against immunizations - and since getting CML I have gotten the seasonal flu shot - but I have not gotten the H1N1 - and do not plan to.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Ana, I had the vaccine 10 days ago and my husband who had a stroke 12 months ago also had it too. I’m not sure which strain of the vaccine you have in the US – ours is Panvax in Australia. My arm was sore for a few days and had a headache otherwise OK. Back in late August, my daughter had H1N1 and I was in close contact with her all the time, looking after her children and taking her to the Dr when she was ill. Both my husband and I had Tamiflu – I did have a cold which took a few weeks to go away, which may have been a mild version of the flu. In our local GP clinic, one of the new younger GP’s contracted the flu and was quite ill, so I am happy that I have had it. My GP personally doesn’t think Tamiflu is that effective, while my haem/t was more than happy to write the script “just in case” which luckily we got for free instead of paying $65 each.
