Just been sent home from work - feeling very hot, coughing and generally look/feel crap. I woke up Sunday feeling wheezy, had a headache before we left (put it down to the sun) and didn't really feel right on the bike on the way home.

Have got a code to collect Tamiflu, I am now officially quarantined from work for 7 days, and should be going on holiday for 2 weeks on Saturday - great :roll:

Hmm

I'm feeling a bit crap today, headache, coughing etc but no temperature

Nobody I know has been diagnosed or had symptoms

Hoping it's just lack of sleep and too much smoke/booze...

Are you one of the people who has been jumping on the "Ooh I've got swine flu" bandwagon you were talking about?

Bloody lightweight.

GWS mate.

PS. You better not have given it to me!

Not me - haven't had a single day sick for about 6 years - when Swine Flu first kicked off, we drew up a list of the people who would claim to have it - and we were right :rolleyes:

Thanks for your sympathy :D

some of the bad chests and wheeziness is down to sitting round the fire. I was wheezy on both days, and rough from staying up late. Funny that I work so many nights!

No, it means you were the source of the swine flu! Thanks!

I think it was probably the amount of alcohol in your system that killed the f*ck out of any swine flu virus that may have been in your system. You looked 'kin mullered on Sunday morning and smelt like a brewery. :lol:

Hehe it's true! Single malt whiskey kills throat viruses, I recommend the vaccination strategy to be rolled out accross britain :D

There's lots of different viruses going round my 4year old daughter had a very high temp, which pointed toward swine flu, but turned out not to be. No one else had it in the family and I DID NOT bring it to the AR. She'd been ill 2 weeks before the AR.

I nearly had a heart attack when my wife texted my daughters temp.

GWS, just take the Tami flu if you need to, but I reckon you'd be better off just takin parrotseatamol ;)

Eating bacon or other pork products cancels out the swine flu! ;)

Hope you haven't carried it to the isle of wight now!

Well you were plenty quick for a man on his death bed :D

Hopefully "The great org flue endemic of '09" will turn out to be a non event, I think most of us were using lots of antiseptic spritis to keep our mouths clean...:D

BillyC just told me about this thread. I'm feeling really cr@p too, much worse than I felt yesterday morning. Coughing loads, tight chest, and sore throat. I don't think standing around the fire helped much, but I doubt it's the piggy flu as we were outside most of the time......I'll give it a few days and see how it goes. It's strange though as I don't really get sick much..........Emma reckon's it's the fags (hmmmm?!?)

For what it's worth, I think a load of us have got the sh1ts after our little stay in that field...

I can't say I've felt great today, but put it down to tiredness. However, all the symptoms that people are describing, sounds like flu (swine or otherwise). It's probably only a coincidence that I came down with it a few weeks ago, when doing a markers preview ride with Supervox.

Got some of the symptoms myself which came on yesterday... and I didn't actually camp so its a possibility, going to see if it clears itself in the next day or two tho before I worry too much

+1 on feeling ok!

Burgers were great (I enjoyed the double;)), and if it were the food I'm sure Bear would be dead or at least dying - eating the stuff hours after the BBQ was out!

What a protein overload.....WOW......sounds lovely though!

I for one am really not feeling well today. I didn't really spend any time close to the fire because I hate my clothes smelling like it the next morning. I think I spent 20 minutes there on Friday and about an hour Saturday, but certainly not close to it.

I woke up this morning, just basically aching. In my bones. My joints ache, I have a stuffy head and headache and I didn't really drink very much or lack sleep. I don't think it's any kind of flu, but I definately don't feel good!

GWS Matt, big hugs xxx :smt056

I've got a bit of a snotty nose, and sore throat.

I was very very de-hydrated this morning, to much booze and not enough ordinary fluids.

I had a day just relaxing on the sofa and sorting out the washing and pootling about at home, I feel better now than I did when I woke up.

Not much to worry about I think for me..

Hope those of you that are feeling rough feel better soon.

Well, got a temperature of 39C and I've been diagnosed with the piggy flu. Hope no-one else is felling like carp because this really sucks :(

Still, I get a week off work :)

Yep, I've got a piggin' cold as well. Although TBH if there was ANYTHING going round the campsite I think I deserve to get it. If I missed out on groping you during the weekend I'm very sorry...
