Chaos just called she is running a 100 degree fever so is her granddaughter, they may shut down her granddaughters school because of possible swine flu. One of her granddaughters classmates recently returned from Mexico. I believe she said,
Brownstown, Woodhaven School District, Michigan.
Please pray for them, swine flu has put many in our family in the hospital the last time it came through in 1968,
Love to all, Jen

I'm still kickin....but yes my Grandkids' school has a case of possible swine flu after high school kids returned from a Cancun vacation. Five of my Grandkids attend these schools. Two are in the High School, one in middle school and one in elementary. One lives with me and the other four are here every day anyhow! One of the older girls stayed here last night and she was feeling ill with a fever and rather severe stomach pain so I let her stay home today...in the meantime I am on day 2 of a 100 degree fever...imagine that...I haven't had a fever or been ill, other than Lyme related, since I was bit by a tick 3 years ago...in fact my normal temp has been 106.4 since the Lyme Disease.
I just found out at noon today about the local school possibly having a case of the swine flu but yesterday one of my older Grandkids said over 40 kids had called in sick and I knew several had recently returned from Cancun so the thought did cross my mind.
I think this might be interesting as long as I'm not too sick to be interested! I am worried about my husband because he became quite ill this morning. Time alone will tell if this is the swine flu.
I think if I remember right fever can cause massive spirochete die-off. Wonder if it does the same to any element of Morgellons? I'll try to keep you posted.

Chaos,
I'm saying a prayer too for you and all your family too. I sure feel for you, and what you said. (how you're thinking that possibly the spirochette can be killed off by your fever).
That brings tears to me, because I just feel so bad that that is the way we have to look at Morgellons, being that desperate to rid it, that the thoughts of hoping the possible swine flu fever will knock some of the Morgs out of your body. I'm so sorry, this makes me so sad. And I do believe I'd be thinking the same thing too if I were in your shoes.
I hope to God, that no matter what happens, you get better and Morgs FREE. Take care Chaos, and if your fever gets out of hand well...I know you know what to do. (was going to say don't hesistate to see a doc) but you know.
Take care, and I hope your family is okay too.

I'm so sorry Karen, for you and your grandkids and family in general. I'm praying for you too... just said one as a matter of fact! Please do what toni said and I'm also saying... don't let it get out of hand. Like she said, you know what to do.
I'm curious about what you said your normal temp runs at... 106??? Was that a typo or are you saying your body actually runs at that temperature normally? Wouldn't that be constantly life threatening? I'm hoping you made a typo cuz that's downright scary!
Stay safe at any rate my friend...
I love you ~~ bannanny

Thanks for the prayers & good info. My temp is staying at about the 100 mark, same for my granddaughter. I am so glad that they closed the entire public school system here. Just announced at 10 PM and will be closed at least until Monday. Found out my Granddaughter sits next to one of the suspect cases.
On the news they showed a few local businesses like gas stations & party stores and they are wearing masks & gloves! Yikes.
I have been having fairly severe Lyme symptoms and some weird stomach-gut pain for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I am cycling between being on & off of my Lyme meds because the herxing is at it's worst ever. As of Tuesday afternoon I noticed the fever and today I am having a few new symptoms like chills, weakness and diarrhea. Lots of joint pain but that is also a Lyme symptom. I slept most of the late afternoon and early evening which is unusual. I was only able to open a few cans of chicken soup for super but since we are all sick everyone was OK with that. I'll keep on top of this.
Bannanny, yeah that is a real low temp but is now my normal. It is common for Lyme to cause a low body temp but I never thought about it being life threatening. It's been at 96.4 for about 3 years.
....Oh my now I see what I did, I just reread my post! I typed that my normal temp is 106.4 when I meant to say my normal temp is 96.4. Sorry...wow that would be life threatening...I think I would have to have died long ago. I bet that temp would kill the little Blastard Morgs.
At least I'm getting a chuckle out of my own stupidity.
Karen

Bad to hear about the schools and masks, but so good to hear your temps not normally 106.4! I was thinking you really had become a mutant! Take care of yourself and don't take it for granted that aches and all are from the Lyme. We definitely have something more life threatening hittin the streets and the symptoms are alike. So don't be stupid about that ok? I know you won't be and you aren't... I'm just tryin to get my point acrossed.
I love you ~~ bannanny

All I can say is that of this thing they are calling swine flu involves extreme stomach & chest pain then I have and have had it for a while. One daughter and one granddaughter also have it. All 3 of us have fevers and joint pain. I have had the flu years ago but don't remember this odd stomach & chestpain. Within an hour of eating anything, even chicken soup, the pain is unreal.

Two things that really help with the flu are NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) and Oscillococcinum, neither require a prescription, they works as well or better than Tamiflu and you get them at Whole Food stores, they really help, there are really scientific studies on both of them and the Influenza

Try to drink as much warm water as you can Karen. It works the way it's supposed to much better that way. I got this in an email recently...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
I also got an email with this info...
There are more virus and bacteria on the lid of a can of soda or beer than what's in our toilets. A woman died after getting a virus off of a can of coke she was drinking. So wash your can tops very well before drinking anything out of a can.
Thought this might help a little anyway. I'm praying for you to get well fast! Let us know how you're doin ok?
love you bunches ~~ bannanny

That's right Bannanny! Yes, wash those lids since everyone in the world is handling them too like you said (before we open them even with can openers) Something I've done, (and am glad now)...is those mustard bottles, EVERYONE touches them....and they are the flip top lids or the twist top lids. Man...those need a good scrubbing too with an antimicrobial dish soap (like for dishes) since this is being used as such, before we squirt out mustard from them. Can you imagine the grime (microbes) we don't see when people grab these twist squirt bottles by the lids?
