M.E From Swine Flu

2 replies

I contracted swine flu about five years ago, when it was considered a serious matter.
I had all the symptoms except the vomiting and was not aloud to go to my local surgery just incase I would infect others. Weeks went by and I became worse, it finally turned to pneumonia and the symptoms from that are still with me today. I think the virus never left my body as I have bouts of inflammation which can last for months at a time, of where I can hardly walk, pain in my muscles, feeling cold, brain fog, dizziness etc. I wish I had taken Tamiflu but was scared of the side effects. I now have all the symptoms of M.E which seems impossible to treat.

I'm sorry to hear this uniross,
It seems like those who had a low immune system at the time came off the worse. I now believe swine flu and bird flu are man made bio weapons being tried out on the masses for the use in future bio warfare which works out a lot cheaper in the long run. I have tried everything, I had my M.E go into remission for a year and a half then it returned after I had brain surgery, apparently trauma can reactive M.E.
