Whereneverever Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I ended up going to the ER this morning. I tested positive for influenza and they started me on tamiflu. My oxygen sats were low for me (86%), I was tachy, and I couldn't get my fever to come down at home. I'm really glad I went in. It took multiple nurses with the ultrasound to get an IV in, but after some fluids and pain relief I'm feeling better. I got to spend some quality time on an EKG, too. Take the flu seriously this year! It's bad stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I hope your symptoms don't get any worse and you're feeling better soon! Same here. The flu is scaring me this year. And I even got a flu shot. Of course, the one year it doesn't do much good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a flu shot this year. :( Totally did me no good. I am a little better and I hope to continue getting better. And I hope that none of my kids catch this.

Reefgazer Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hope you're feeling better soon. I have the flu - it showed up on Christmas and I just thought I was tired and run down until it hit me full force. Today I am starting to feel a little better, but we'll see as the day progresses. I'm flu-shot-less, but now I have immunity, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
