my sister in-law is a nurse and was telling us about this flu will be here killing thousands and the vaccines won't be strong enough to prevent it. Has anyone heard of this? Or something like it?

Background: 16,female,5f6,98pounds (yes i know im underweight and no i do not have an eating disorder).

At school on friday i started getting chills then getting really hot the next minute but i stuck it out and made it through the day. I came home and crashed pretty much. I had a fever of 100.4 then. Its now monday and im still getting chills sometimes but mostly hot flashes. I had a headache which got worse every time i moved my head but now that has pretty musch gone. My fever at its highest was 102 and i could barely get down the stairs without feeling lightheaded. I woke up in the middle of the night last night soaked in sweat.

so my symptoms as of now are:
-coughing...sometimes lots of snot
-slight fever that gets worse at night-up to 101
-hot flashes, cold sweats

is this the flu???
if so what do i do since they cant give me tamiflu...i figure its too late for that now.
do i let it take it course or what will they give me if i do visit a dr? i rly dont wanna go =[

I keep catching a cold every 4-6 weeks about 1/2 a day after being in a car with the Air-con on high, or out anywhere like the shops or in a building with the air-con on, on hot days. Why does this keep happening, and how can I prevent it? I have had more than 6 colds already this year. I have vitamin c and garlic tablets when I think I might be more prone to catching a cold, but somehow still end up coming down with one anyway. Anyone have any suggestions?

What are the chances of getting infected from other people by sharing toilets ? What could be such a disease ? How to avoid that? Does cleaning toilet seats with alcohol help ?


I work in the oilfield, and I spend 1 month in the desert. I'm forced to share toilets! (don't have a choice !)

Part of my job is to clean restrooms. A friend recently told me that thin latex gloves that the company gives us may not be effective at keeping out germs. She said that low quality gloves may contain holes that are large enough to let germs through, but not really noticeable to the wearer. Should I buy my own reusable gloves or use the thin ones from the company?

I made cupcakes last night and ever since I ate one it has hurt to swallow anything, even my own saliva. My 4-year old brother just got over a virus, but he got my 6 month old sick too. I haven't been in contact with anyone who has strep, but I do get it annually. I myself just got over a cold a couple weeks ago. Could this be strep? Or just the beginning of a new virus? I have no fever, I never get fevers, I feel normal, and I haven't really been coughing... no stuffy/runny nose either. Any ideas, besides "see a doctor"?
