Whos had Swine flu?

[cupracing]

All I hear about where ever I go now is Swine Flu so thought I would ask the question how many have caught it on here? I havent yet by the way

[Mart61]

I had 3 days off a month or so ago due to suspected H1N1. However, in all honesty, I think it was a badly timed cold and my bosses over-reacted and sent me home.

Not that I complained mind...

:D

I have a really heavy cold on Thursday-Sunday, but I'm almost sure it wasn't flu, because I didn't really have the joint and muscular aches, not the dodgy tummy that seems to be associated with pig flu.

3 days won't have been swine flu.
I've had it and it hurts like a sod!!
I was off work for a week, and felt crap before and after that week off - total about 2 weeks.

It sucks.
Cheers,
Rob

It claimed the life of someone I know 2 weeks ago...15 years old he was..tragic...........

[Dedcalm]

Sorry to hear that :(

Not had it and nor have my family (thankfully), not having the jabs either though - allegedly its based on mexican strain and not really applicable to UK, also little testing was done as it was rushed out... after all it only makes the illness shorter, hardly preventative. I'll take my immune system chances :)

I tried ringing the Government's swine flu advice line but all I got was crackling.

I'm alright now though - just been to the doctors and he gave me some oinkment!

My youngest brother has it, he has been in agony for the last week and a half!! He caught it from my Cousins husband when we went paintballing a couple of weeks ago!

That really is tragic:(:( That's the worrying thing about this strain, it seems to be worse for younger people. Seems to me that it exposes and aggravates any underlying condition.

Best wishes to anyone who has it or has had it.

i had it here

[cyberman]

My daughter had it and was pretty poorly for a week or so.
And my advice is if you can ride it out on paracetamol and ibuprofen then do this and give the tamiflu a miss!
Tamiflu made my daughter as sick as a dog for 2-3 days.

The helpline was rubbish but luckily NHS direct and out locally out of hours doctor service was pretty helpful.

[gazza]

Our lass had it the week before last and she was in a right state for about 8 days. The Tamiflu made her feel a lot better 3 Days into it but she was still poorly for the next five days.

Funnily enough I'm still fine.
Can't stop eating apples & Potato peelings though :)
