[EJB09]URGENT - possible flu outbreak discussion thread

By Tora-Leigh. 12/07/09, 03:45 pm

Edited by Aura (hope you don't mind Tora)
I just want to keep the first post here updated.
At this stage Crazy has been to the hospital with a temperature of 39.9 degrees.
There's a possibility she might have swine flu, and is taking Tamiflu.

Almost everyone that was at the camp seems to have come down with something. If you are getting worse or if you have a high temperature or have trouble breathing (and especially if you are prone to astmah or have a poor immune system.) Ring the swine flu helpline: 0800 611 116

I rang them last night, they ask you to describe your symptoms and to do a couple of tests. They will tell you then if you have any swine flu symptoms, and if you dont they will let you know if you can just stay home or go to the doctor (if not ask them.)

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO RING! Them, your doctor or the hospital.
Even if you think you are okay. There is no harm at all in ringing just to make sure.

P.S I'm really proud of how quickly everyone reacted (in terms of responses and getting in contact with each other) last night. Way to go everyone! thumbsup

~~~Tora's post:

Hey-hey Visual Kei ~
This post is on behalf of Crazy who is very, very sick after the meet.
She's stuck in Christchurch with a fever and feels like crap. She asked me to post on here just to inform and ask if anyone else is rather ill?
Just a friendly warning. ^^

I am VERY... 'throaty,' which seemed to be the common theme of the weekend.

By Highlander. 12/07/09, 03:54 pm

Loren also pretty bad. I had to listen to her cough for 5 hours. Think Shinrii not too good? I hope my few coughs are just dust, etc! Angie was alive last time I saw her? Come to think I did not see her at the finish. Her body must have been dumped on the way? Donna looked well.

And that is with the drugs, without them?

Will post a photo list soon.

By Tora-Leigh. 12/07/09, 03:57 pm

Ah ~ Not too good to hear.
Crazy may be hospitalized, there is an ambulance on the way to assess her.
But I'll think she'll be alright, and hope that anyone else who's sick feels better soon.

P.S: Gutted I didn't make it to the meet ~ Sounds like fun was had by all.

Quote :: ATTENTION ALL EJBJOCD'ERS.

If any of you are feeling sick GO TO THE DOCTOR AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
Though if you are extremely bad, it may be best to ring a registered nurse, or ring your doctor to describe the symptoms first, as it looks like it is contagious.

One of our members is possibly about to go into the hospital she is very ill, dizy, shaking and has a high temperature and is very worried that everyone has catched this.

Please text everyone you know who attended EJ, to make sure they either read this or are aware!

If you have any questions reply to THIS THREAD or text me - 027 3195248

If you have any questions reply here or text.

Edit, I've just merged the two threads.

The scary thing is that Crazy seemed so fine during the day!
An Health Warning announcement has been made on Crazy's request. Poor girl, she's extremely worried about all of us!

I've spoken via phone line to a registered nurse, as ontop of all my symptoms, I'm having trouble breathing and was concerned it could be swineflu. I have been cleared at the moment but new symptoms are appearing so I'm going to the doctors tomorrow morning to make sure.

Also no, not my cell phone~

By **seraphik**. 12/07/09, 04:19 pm

who is it?!

By **Auroa**. 12/07/09, 04:23 pm

Crazy; Omni L Sama is with her waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

By **seraphik**. 12/07/09, 04:24 pm

oh my godddd 8| i really hope tori's okay...

By **seraphik**. 12/07/09, 04:31 pm

i have a pretty bad cough and a bit of nausea but i'm not so bad (or at least, not at the moment.) it is really scary because when i dropped off the bus guys, she seemed fine & full of energy... 8| i'm so worried about her.

if anything i would've said sakura-petals sounded the sickest out of them, but yeah... it looks like pretty much everyone caught something or other, though it seems like there's two different variations of whatever is going around.

cellphone is still a mystery. i say it's probably sakura-petal's too.

By **Auroa**. 12/07/09, 04:33 pm

Yeah, her temperature keeps rising and falling.
But she's so worried about all of us ;-;

seraphik can you contact Reno to make sure he knows?

Crazy was one of the better ones last time I saw her. Not happy, but not complaining. Of course some people were underestimated how cold it would get at night, and are probably paying for it. Hope crazy and angie get better quickly.

Seriously people 111 or the healthline are only a phone call away after hours, or if you are real crook. Otherwise ring your own doctor. Keep up the fluids, and food. Use appropriate cough meds and either sudafed for nasal discharge/blocked sinus and Panadol for temperature/pain, or a cold and flu stuff. Do not take Panadol and flu remedies together. Do not take more or more often than recommended, just give it time to work. Rest, keep warm. If your lungs feel wet, or your breathing sounds wet or whistlely, or you get really dehydrated, eg can't hold down liquid for two days, then go to a doctor/call 111.

Just sent a test txt to Sakuras phone.

By **seraphik**. 12/07/09, 04:38 pm

PFFT SHE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT GETTING BETTER 8( poor thing!

yup sure, i'll text him right now, along with lennon & ryan.

By s-in-c. 12/07/09, 04:43 pm

oh nuu!
she was fine-ish this morning...
hope she will be okay ;-;

Loren and I were dying on the car ride back with a very bad headache and a dry cough but I feel much better now

By Madam Madhatter. 12/07/09, 04:47 pm

Some one had to say it:

Note: Feeling very ill, dizy, shaking and a high temperature are all symptoms of Swine Flu. So please phone a doctor or registered nurse before going anywhere.

Healthline 0800 611 116

If you suffer from any thing that could lead to complications (eg Asthma)
Then stay extra watchful.

By IcyRose. 12/07/09, 04:48 pm

I'm currently fine, Meghan says she's fine as well asides from a scratchy chest. Ryan also seemed ok.

I just hope Tori is ok, she seemed perfectly fine last time I saw her.

By **Auroa**. 12/07/09, 04:48 pm

Okay so thats
Lucy, Ryan, Matt, Lennon, Meghan, and Reno

I've texted Anne, Mandie, Dana (who has told me is starting to feel slightly sick as well,) Emma, Cyren, Kyoushu
Highlander's texted Sakura.
S-in-c knows cause she's online.

anyone got firecats number?
also pucca007 and her friend?

By Madam Madhatter. 12/07/09, 04:51 pm

Anne went to sleep feeling feverish.

i have alerted her flat mates and they are keeping an eye on her

By **Auroa**. 12/07/09, 05:00 pm

Okay thank you!

News from Tori, the ambulance has arrived and said she is okay at the moment, but if her temperature rises she'll need to go.

By **seraphik**. 12/07/09, 05:06 pm

they... didn't really come near us, but i'll text them anyway. ;;;

i'm actually feeling worse and worse as the night goes on, so i'm going to head to sleep now to try and shake this fever sob

i'm glad tori didn't have to take the ambulance, but that's still not that great news for her considering she's a long way from home and she feels like crap... 8(

By **Auroa**. 12/07/09, 05:11 pm

At least she has Omni L Sama with her.
Tori just texted me (all previous texts were from Omni) she said she was really worried that we'd all get really sick.

Yeah get to bed, and don't be afraid to ring one of the helplines or just go to the doctor.

By **seraphik**. 12/07/09, 05:12 pm

that goes for YOU TOO ANGE >8|

By **Auroa**. 12/07/09, 05:15 pm

I'm going to the doctor in the morning, the nurse told me I need to go to the doctor if certain symptoms appeared ... and ironically after I got off the phone one of those symptoms occurred =_=
I've gotten so much worse tonight, but I'm okay at this moment, I think its adrenaline cause of all the 'trying to text everyone and spread the word', and worrying about Tori.

I be off to, get better soon guys!
*hug*

This is the reason that if I get swine flu, I'll die OTL;;
*intheorylol*

I hope you guys all recover okay DDDD:
Seems like half of you were sick D:
I also hope it's not swine flu =___=
(Although then you guy get to brag that you were the first CNZers to get Swine flu xD. Not that that's a good thing ...)

I just got in touch with Snow, who flats with firecat, so the message should reach her ears soon enough.
