I don't know if I have swine flu, but whatever it is has been kicking my ass for the past few days - fever, chills, joint and muscle aches, hacking cough,
raging sore throat, headache, chest congestion.
You name the symptom and I've got it. |

You've been infected with HIV.

So anyone who comes with flu like symptoms is assumed to have swine flu. Plus, even if your influenza swab comes back negative, they say it's still probably flu because the swabs give so many false negatives. |

My kids have recovered nicely and I never got it. Yippy skippy! I must've had it last year as I suspected.

I'm sick enough that my boss just called and doesn't think I should go with her on our business trip tomorrow. I'm so sick but so freaking happy I
might not have to fly out west to be bored out of my skull for five days.

Add me to the 'I might have it' list of people. I have pretty much the whole list of symptoms, although very mildly. They say H1N1 is almost
exclusively the strand that's going around, so while I'd be inclined to think it isn't it, it most likely is.

A couple of my fellow nurses dressed up in their "I gotta go into a swine flu patient's room" gear. So much fun donning all this crap everytime
you go into a patient room:

Our girls and I got it last week and was no big deal. Feeling randomly crappy, variety of symptoms, etc. Low fever no keelin' over BS.
Hubby seems to be coming down with it today. Surprised it took him a week to catch our funk. |

Can I borrow that for a Hallowe'en costume? I'm lazy and unimaginative.
I'm in the maybe I have it maybe I don't camp. Not feeling shitty enough to go do something about it, but I've been sick for over a week now. |

I'm pretty much in the same boat. My fever broke a few days ago, but I'm still coughing all the time. Still feeling weak and just "blah" in
general.

I got on the tamiflu on Tuesday and I think that's really saved me from feeling any worse... I still have this stupid coughing and headache and a sore
throat. The last time I had a fever was last night...

We still don't have the H1N1 vacs available. The seasonal flu shot is hard to find too. By the time it's available, it won't be worth getting. Our
schools have been hit pretty hard with it, so I'm sure I've been exposed. I've been battling bronchitis, but I've never had a fever. We had a
6th grader die a few weeks ago. Perfectly healthy kid with no underlying health issues. She was fine that Friday at school, and she was fine Saturday. She got
sick Sunday, they took to the ER Monday morning, and Monday night she was dead dead dead. Sad and scary.

The local news just did a piece instructing us on how to hand out Halloween candy by dropping it in the bags yourself and not letting the kids put their germy
hands into your bowl.

I vomited for a day, have had diarrhea and felt light headed, but I've had almost no fever, no cough. Same thing for my son. If this is Swine Flu it's
a pussy.

Well it's not. Flu is a respiratory illness, if your only symptoms are gastrointestinal then you have a stomach virus.
