But I doubt it's the swine flu. Or how did it start for you? With a bang, or slowly like a regular cold or sinus infection?

With a BANG. I actually thought it was food poisoning because I had tried (and loved) Indian food for the first time, then that night had severe vomiting, etc. Before that I'd just been a little tired. I think. I'm not very good at reading my body's signs, apparently. Anyway, all the other normal flu stuff started the next day.

Vomiting/GI stuff seems not to be all that common so far, however, so my story might not be the best thing to go off of.

nope, and I hope I won't

Me too, although for most people apparently it's not as bad as regular flu, so if you had to choose...

only online, I haven't heard of cases in my region yet

nope. but the vaccine is available since Monday now

Both good things. Are you planning to get it?

I think it's overblown as far as life threats go, but I still hope I won't get it, because being semi-dead for days is no fun either. How bad is it for you so far?

See my reply to Aemon really - just b/c I don't want to go on too much about my health. In short, it seems I had a pretty serious case alright (more so than average), but was too dumb to realize it at the time.

I suspect that working at a hospital gives you a rather biased sample of the populace. *NM* - 29/10/2009 12:16:16 AM 168 Views
