I had a seizure or stroke today. Couldn't walk or talk and lost control of everything

But I'm still standing! I'm going to have " durable" tattoo " on my butt

The only good thing about it was that I read that if I survived that one, I was mostly immune to the next few generations of killer flu. I've never been that sick again in my life. Live through it, and you have a kickin' immune system.

I had the flu in italy in 2005. At the same time Pope John Paul was suffering from it and they kept puttting him in the hospital. Came on after visting the Vatican, when we were in Florence. I get flu shots but this was a different strain. The hotel we stayed in on the square said half their staff had it.

Thought I was going to die. I was sick for 2 weeks stuck in the hotel room. I slept for days. Might watch an hour of CNN and that wore me out. Hubs had them call a doctor to the room ($50 Euros! cheap). Said it would pass, really bad strain that year.
Hope what you say is true about the killer immune system.

Hubs never got it nor did get what I just had. He rarely gets sick, if he does its only a day. He was an EMT in college so maybe he was exposed to everything.

I have the distinct feeling you know this but you should go to the doctor or at the very least report it to him/her.
