Is there any possibility that you might have contracted Swine Flu?

Well, my son came home last night with a fever, chills, headache and a sore throat. I got him medicated and comfy and went to bed. Woke up at 3 am with a splitting headache and the dry heaves. I don't know if its the flu, but we both feel pretty crapty

I have a tiredness, headache, and sore throat. But that's due to something different.

I don't know. I've been getting weird symptoms lately. I've been considering everything from epilepsy to lyme disease.

God I hope not. I just heard on the news today that one of the locals has died from Swine Flu. I live in Central Virginia.

I totally could have it right now. I just didn't have a headache, and I never get headaches anyway. Or Diarrhea. I find it fascinating that if I outed with Swine flu, they might shut down my high school. I would be a hero if only my parents would take me to the doctor.

My wife is sure of it and she's probably right.

So far, so good....been drinking Emergen-C this last week

nope and i am patiently awaiting the vaccine!

I haven't had any symptoms.

Just got back from the doctors, strep throat is whats going around my family.

I have had far worse than swine flu...

man flu

NO!! My bacons not achin'. I'm not oinking!! I have no urge to go outside and wallow in the mud. LOL.

I've believe I have been exposed before and cared for people who have tested positive(It's confidential). I get my shot for regular Type A this month and H1N1 in November. Using standard precautions at work kept me from being infected last April.

No, I don't have any of these symptoms. However, it is quite possible I have Swine Flu (or already had it and just didn't know it). At least two people at my work had it and had to take some time off. My manager being one of them.

This strain was caused by factory farming. Shame on us! Serves us right really

More accurately, there has been speculation by some that this flu strain may have come out of a factory farm.

To me, it's pretty obvious.

I had a pretty nasty respiratory tract infection a couple of months ago, with a persistent cough for several weeks afterwards. It wasn't swine flu though - it may be mild for most people, but not that mild! I had no myalgia and although tired, didn't have the extreme lethargy that I would expect with real influenza.

I've had these symptoms this week, but I'm fairly certain that it's just a cold.

I had a respiratory tract infection last year with a cough that lasted for 8 weeks. I know your pain - hope you've recovered fully! It may not sound like the worst thing in the world, but when your ribs are hurting from the strain and you can't stop coughing, it's horrible!

Ow that sounds horrible! Worth it though, presumably?

Crap, I have symptoms like that on a regular basis.

Maybe I'm a carrier.

I might have had it. I had some sort of flu. I got over it, but ended up with bronchitis. Every time I get anything involving a sticky cough, I get bronchitis.

I'd be more worried (if I worried about such things) to get a different form of the flu that has a bigger mortality rate than Swine Flu.

No but I was exposed to it by a friends 10 year old daughter. I did get a light case of flu but when I was coming down with it, docs gave me Tamiflu just in case it was going to turn into the real thing. Got over it with minimal problems.

I'm having the jab in two days, so as long as I don't catch it before then, I should be covered!
