Default Swine Flu

Anyone had it, how did you feel ?. ive been feeling bad as a dog since yesterday, defo something ive never had before, feels foreign, im usually good when im ill, just get on with it, but this has knocked me sideways. wor lass said she thinks ive got pig flu. so phoned the pig flu helpline, had some banter with the woman, went through the sympoms, and she said ive got it. there gona send a guy out with some tami-flu. said he will phone me as he arives, drop it outside my door, then phone me when he's back in the car to let me know to open the door and get it. whats all that about ?

My Daughter in law got it, she's a Care in the Community Nurse, and caught it off some one who had just come out of intensive care after having it.
My 4 year old grandson got it off her.
My 1 year old grandson got it off one of them.
My Son, living in the same house hasn't had it?? YET.

I dont know anyone who has or has had it. I thought I would be at risk as I interact with alot of people and work in some really scummy areas everyday, but ive never felt better

There's a primary school near me in place called Fenwick and the majority of pupils are off with swine flu. Hoping it don't come my way!

Its like normal flu mate, but a lot more hardcore, and i thought man flu was bad lol.

my mother in laws god sons got it, he's been in bed for the last week. i feel like staying in bed tbh, but im not having that like, it was bad enough getting up this morning after being laid down asleep last night for 6 hours, all built up on my chest etc, so im not going down that road, im up and about, and ill be staying that way regardless of how bad i feel. ill stay in the house for 7 days like the doc said, but not in bed, ill sit on the sofa and play PS3 lol
