Swine Flu... okay, does anyone reckon they've got this?

I'm a bit under the weather, and just put it down to a summer cold picked up over the weekend. I was sent home from work on Monday and told not to come back until all the symptoms had cleared.

Now, I think I might actually have it... from what I understand, confirmed cases have been little more than mild cold symptoms - which describes what I've got pretty well.

2 members of my team have been diagnosed in the last week, and I'm not allowed back into work until I've spoke to my GP tomorrow morning. Quite likely I have it. Feel a bit rough, but otherwise ok - don't see what all the fuss is about :P

I'm feeling abit rough, too..... sore throat and bunged up, runny nose, sneezing a lot......

Not rough enough for a day off work. Besides, if I go in I can sneeze all over the stupid woman who turned up for work whilst still being treated for pneumonia

Just take paracetemol regularly and should be fine.

Yeah, this is supporting me at the moment. Felt the crash at 3pm today when it wore off.

Well I am rough as a bears ****

Headache, struggling to breath as defective nose is blocked with green gunge, cough, shivers, temperature, worse part is the lethargy, it is hard work getting off the bed, I am wiped out.

Might just go into the office to infect everyone else, but had a memo that says Two or more symptoms and you stay at home

Well my GP thinks I've got it, but that's only an over the phone diagnosis.

I only have three symptoms - headaches, burning aching limbs and poos - and don't have any of the cold like ones of runny nose and sore throat. He said that's fairly common.

This is the 3rd day and am definately beginning to show show signs of getting better
