calls the docs, they will ask a series of questions and dependent on the answers may or may not prescribe tamiflu, which lessens the effects.

CALL the docs, don't go in, they wont be impressed lol!!

ps you will need to remain in doors for a period of time also.

dude, you forgot man flu, the most serious of them all !

From what i've read / heard, there isn't a great deal of difference between swine flu and regular flu, i don't particularly fancy having either..

few people think i have it but it isnt drastically effecting me though tbh, had a day of mega aches in legs/joints, blocked nose and sore throat/caugh. and had the caugh/bunged up nose for nearly a week now but not too drastic for me if i do have it.

As said above, When I called the doctor he asked me a load of questions about how i felt, concentration levels, this that and the other. Then he prescribed Tamiflu but asked if someone i knew could collect it rather than myself. He also suggested I stay indoors for at least a week to prevent spreading it.

It is pretty much the same as normal flu, except flu jabs dont stop it. Its just a different strand. Ive had it for 60 odd hours now and im feeling better already. First 48 hours where proper shite tho.
