Hi Manal

Hi Emby
I hope that your relatives get well soon.  You are right to take precautions, it is highly infectious.
Take care
Jade

hiya,

manal, jade thank you for your concern...my mum saying she feels worst is over.  i'd say that she had it real bad for three days...fourth day she is left with runny nose and as if body been on a few rounds in a boxing ring....poor mum!  they live in london i'm in a different city....but i feel this is the pattern when catching this flu.  alot of my relatives seem to have caught it in london with same level of time for recovery and same symptons. doctors are no longer giving out tamiflu with there being far too many cases...they are saying get over it, if symtons worsen go to hospital.   
my feeling about this now is that this may not be that bad...we all catch flus that last for a few days to a week or two....perhaps if caught the body has got barriers to fight it....i wouldn't say this applys to people with certain chronic conditions but if a thalasseamic is in general good health catches it then their chances of recovery is the same as anyone else.  the scary thing about this flu is the ability it has in spreading and how it is affecting people all around the world all at one time......dunno...what do you think?........guess what i'm saying is try not to worry about it too much......................................................................................eeeeeew !! hope i'm not wrong!!

Emby, i really do agree with you but i am still so scared about the thals who live with low HB :wah

hiya manal,  i agree that one thals situation is different to anothers.  i don't compare my youngest to my oldest son.  the way they are with their thal is not the same....and yes people should be careful....but not too scared (government scare mongering...why do not any of the politicians catch it, ha!?!  ooops, apology to any politician on this forum..)
i dunno.....do you think its comparable to chicken pox?.....both are contagious and both can have some serious affects.  we are told its good if you catch it very young and that it could be dangerous when you are older.  i have heard of people being hospitalised with it and again sadly people have passed away cos of it. my son was 15 and the other 11 when they had chicken pox....i thought that i was finished with mine but i had it when i was 35!! by Mercy of God we were fine...we had it at exactly the same time! 
anyway my mum is still recovering (they say to give it 7 days) and i want to see her this weekend.  the boys are not bothered about it...they love being there....i miss my mum alot....my best friend (other than my hubby)...we hardly get together, perhaps 2/3 times a year.  i don't know if we should go or not.... ???....don't know what to do.
