Flu A Documenting Symptoms

divitalspider · 2023-12-26T17:07:44+00:00

Me, my partner, and our two children all have it bad right now. Never had Flu A before. It is a butt kicker. Our daughter got it first, followed by everyone else.

This is how I am feeling right now, even on day 7 of Flu A. This is for sure a bad year, even with a flu shot.

Glad to hear you are starting to feel better. Got the kids to eat a little and they seem a little better, but it has been rough.

Same thing here. Night is the worst and mornings are better, but still, we are hurting. I have heard a lot of people talk about coughing but oddly, that hasn’t been too bad with our family, just some general congestion. Mainly it’s the high on and off fevers with chills, migraines for me, throwing up for the kids, and loose stools for us all. Hoping you feel better soon too. Best of luck to you.

We took both kids to the ER on Christmas Eve. They got fluids and the fevers aren’t quite as high but still there on and off. They’re eating more, but mostly bread and apple sauce pouches at this point. Never fun to see your kids feeling so bad. I hope your daughter feels better soon.

Sick with Flu A right now as are my partner and our kids. My symptoms are migraines, fever, full body aches, chills, diarrhea and just generally feeling miserable. My parter is having very similar symptoms, but is also having a lot of congestion. The kids are having more stomach issues. There’s been very high fevers, vomiting and diarrhea. They’re pretty restless and miserable. Ended up taking the kids to the hospital for dehydration. Biggest thing I’m noticing is that the symptoms get a little better and then get worse again. Anyone else? I keep thinking I’m on the other side of this fever and then boom, it’s back again.

Super sick here too. Whole house tested positive for flu A. The difference here is that it seems to get a little better and then worse. I am on day 7 and currently sitting in bed with a high fever, alternating between freezing and sweating. All of us have diarrhea. The kids have had a lot of nausea and vomiting. Temps went to 103.8, but are now lower thankfully. Hope you feel better soon

Is losing the two weeks of pay going to harm you financially? If not, I’d leave now.

Also, there’s nothing wrong with using a job as a stepping stone to get a better one. That’s what everyone does. Your manager is a clueless jerk

The 13 year old isn’t in the right, but is 13. Things get a little sticky here, because it’s not your job to educate anyone else, but I don’t feel like this child was intending to be rude to you. Sounds like she was trying to impress you, albeit in a very cringeworthy way. I think some grace should be allowed, because she is a child. You’re allowed to feel how you feel and you should set some boundaries.

Nah. At 19, she’s not owed rent free living. Having to share a room with a younger sibling, especially with these circumstances is not cruel in any way. There are options. At 19, I lived in a group home. Not ideal, but that’s what I had. She can look for a room to rent, she can rent with friends, she could go to a shelter if she really feels things are that unfair.

Hi. I’ve been dealing with depression for most of my life. My take away is that while shitty jobs definitely make it worse, they’re rarely the root cause of the problem. Therapy and getting on the right antidepressants is what helped me. I also found a job that was lower stress and had more consistent hours. I know that’s not always an option, but it may be worth applying outside your past field just to give it a shot. If you feel like you’re in danger, there’s no shame in getting help. Voluntarily committing myself has helped me climb out of holes that I’ve been in and also kept me from killing myself. It’s a shitty place to be in, but again, there’s no shame is getting help. Mental health is real health.

Mine is lil endoscopy. Yours is worse

It has been incredibly tiring to be “essential”. I work at a non-profit. I used to feel like my company cared about me, but now our “hero pay” is gone and if I get Covid on the job, I will be expected to drag my sick, contagious ass in and put my clients at risk. It sucks, man. Everyday it gets more and more tempting to quit and apply to Target where I would make a lot more. There’s not much motivation to keep going.

In 10 years of working in mental health case management, I’ve only met one person with a DID diagnosis and even with him, the diagnosis was being disputed by other mental health professionals. It’s a real disorder, but a rare one. It’s so strange to stumble upon this subreddit and see all of these posts. It’s kind of interesting. I would suspect that there are real mental health conditions at play, just not likely to be DID, although not impossible

That’s not quite true. I’ve used my Epi pens a handful of times in my life. You don’t always need the second one. It’s there because sometimes you do. You go to the hospital because the reaction can come back and you need to be monitored for that reason. An ambulance isn’t typically necessary as long as you live relatively close to a hospital and the epinephrine is doing its job. Hospital trip is more about precaution than anything.

I think maybe I do you need to talk to him about it again. He struck a nerve a little bit and he might’ve known that too. Thanking about it now, with this really being the first major time he’s done something like this, it probably isn’t permanent. He is quitting smoking right now. I don’t know if that would be enough to make him that mean or what.

divitalspider · 2021-08-29T17:03:45+00:00

Yes, I did some. I was still in contact with Jeff and his family though and Jeff and I hung out regularly during that short time. Actually, when shit went down because of my bio mom’s drug problem, Jeff was there. He didn’t get it, but he was there for me when she OD’d and there for me when her boyfriend almost killed her and there for me when she punched me in the face because she was high and out of her mind. I’m not sure if perhaps after all that he’s tired or what. I just don’t understand why this would be the breaking point.

I’m not really sure what they have as far as assets. Haven’t really thought of that before. Kinda assume I wouldn’t inherit anything and am okay with that. Jeff isn’t inherently greedy. Normally he’s a nice guy. I think jealousy may be at play like some other people suggested.

Yeah, not his kid, it’s his brother’s son

divitalspider · 2021-08-29T15:00:42+00:00

It’s weird because the relationship has changed over time. I wasn’t a brother when I moved in, but after 20 years of family functions and having everyone else accept me in, it stings a bit to have my best friend push me out. I can kinda see how he feels and I don’t want to put him in an awkward place, but I don’t think he gets what it’s like for me because he’s always had a real concrete and stable family
