I have the PAX Flu: It's like making that phonecall
Cutie Honey | 1:57 PM on 09.09.2009 24 comments


While at PAX, I was completely fine and even on Monday, I had no problems whatsoever.
However, yesterday, I started getting dizzy and having a uncontrollable runny nose. This morning, I woke up with a severe headache and my core temperature has shifted.

As Kotaku has reiterated (and if you want to see folks act like jerks, check the comments, obviously, more people could care less about bad things until it happens to them), officials at PAX have confirmed a case of Swine Flu, and as to be expected, many people, including other D-Toiders have gotten sick.

I'm going into the doctors tommorow if things get worse, what sucks for me is that I have finals next week and this is the last thing I needed. But anyway, I highly recommend getting yourself checked out and staying away from work/school or other people in general.

No need to panic either, swine flu is contagious, dangerous, and a pain to deal with, but if you're taking precautions or treatments, it usually shouldn't affect you with more symptoms than a normal flu.

Here's some basic information:


And now for something far more uplifting:


Also, generic consensus, I'm curious who else from Destructoid or PAX 09 in general got sick in some way or another.
I'll be uploading those pictures I drew at PAX later, I wish you all a good day.

That sucks man, I hope you get better. It was nice meeting you! We need to catch up on some animu talk. I seem to remember getting distracted, this might be because alcohol causes me to have a sudden case of ADD :3

I was fine at PAX, but when I've been home, I've had a sniffling nose. I'm thinking it may be allergy related because I lack any other symptoms of the flu.

I have been feeling great since PAX, but today I woke up with a bad sore throat. I don't know if I should go get checked out though, takes quite a bit of effort. But if I did have H1N1, that would be bad.

I'm fine, but I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

I feel like death. Staying locked in my room and having my roommates deliver food to the door... sleeping 80% of the time.

I didn't even start feeling it till monday and today I'm pretty congested. Other then that, no symptoms so I don't think I've got swine flu, but just regular old consars. Airborne did a damn good job of keeping it held off till I left.

I'm almost positive I have the flu. I think my fever just broke though, so hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow.

I've had crazy roller coaster fever for a good five days now; I'm hoping peaked last night.

I also have a barking cough that turns the TV in my room on and off because it's on a clapper.

Just minor symptoms so far, but I'm feeling tired more than I should and the scratchy in my throat has set up a permanent residence. Hoping it doesn't go any farther than that.
