I had the Swine Flu! I almost didn't get to come to Iraq cuz of it! To be honest i didnt know i had it until my unit was doing our 7 day prior departure H1N1test! I knew I was feeling a little weird...but they said my temperature was 101.5 and made me put on a mask and they asked me if i had any aching pains, runny nose, bad cough and i was yes!!!
The damn US Army stuck me in a room by my self, they didnt give me any medicine and YES people it is bad!!! After the first 3 nights in this room I was having soo much trouble sleeping...I tossed and turned all night...and when I did get to sleep I'd wake up in a puddle of sweat! I felt horrible!
The doctor would come in two times a day to check my temperature...my temperature just kept climbing and climbing...and then he told me that a soldier had died that morning on the other base cause of swine flu! So I asked him, i said, Are you guys gonna give me any medicine? he told me No they wanted to see what would happen! See how it plays out!
I was like HELL NO! I ain't got time to sit here and let ya'll watch me die! I got up and put on the mask they made me where when i leave the room and walked my ass down to the corner store and got some Theraflu and Tylenol and Nyquil and self medicated! Two days later i was out of there!
So for everyone who says that The Swine Flu isn't bad! You probably thought you had it but did! Or you caught it early!!!!!
most of the time the symptoms aren't bad until its too late!
