OMG,  I never

OMG,  I never thought that a headache could be this horribly!  I am very much disgusted with it.  The really bad news is that my mom was talking with a friend's mom and she said that when my friend had the Swine Flu she started with a really bad headache, so I may get the swine flu!!!  ~screams during panic dance then clutches head feeling dumb~

Ahn. *back pat* Four or five years ago, when my body was maturing at hyper-speed (seriously, I went through a growth spurt my mom had never seen the likes of before) I got headaches pretty regularly, but it was just a normal side effect of growing up and cleared out before long. Even if it is swine flu, plenty of people get that and recover normally - I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Well your probably right and I have had no effects of any sicknes what so ever.  I t was probably because of the fact that friday evening I had loads of sugar and I'm hypoglycemiec.

If you have a fever, you need to go the hospital. It's better being safe than sorry. My mom works for a hospital, and they had an 11-year-old girl die from it because she didn't go in soon enough. If you go in soon enough, they can stop it in it's tracks.

I've had a billion (exaggeration, of course) fevers before and never had to go to the hospital. Of course the highest they ever got was 102.

I'm sorry, Charlotte. I sure hope that you don't get the swine flu. To prevent getting it maybe try taking some vitamin C or there's this medicine called sambucal that you'e supposed to take when you start feeling at all sick. But a lot of times the people who think they will get a sickness usually won't get it.

A few days after I got my braces I got really bad headaches. Usually I don't take medicine for headaches because I don't like to take medicine (ok that sounded a bit weird) but my headache was so painful that I took medicine for it.

I hope you feel better soon!

It was just sugar.

:( :( :( :( My friend has Swine Flu, and she's getting better, I think. She's at school, but her mom's making her sooo.... :( I feel bad for her because she got it while we were in D.C. and it was just sooo sad! She had to choose to stay and not walk around with us, but she wanted to come! She's tough... (that's what my dad said.) I hope you feel better, by the way!!!!!!
