Hi there .... sounds like a horrible time for you. Just wanted to ask if you had blood tests and everything to confirm it is swine flu, and not just a regular viral flu. If he told you over the phone it might not be?

Tests are the only way to confirm it.

Hope this brings some sunshine to your day!!!

Feel better soon

I thought the whole seriousness of this swine flu thing was that our immune system could not fight it... now i'm confused! your symptoms explain exactly what i had, but theyve got better and today is day 5 for me and all i have left is a sore chest, so i thought that as my immune system had faught something off, it couldnt be swine flu, right? but if theyre not medicating you, then how is it swine flu?! your body cant fight swine flu!! CONFUSED!

I was told that you need to have the anti virals within the first 2 days of symptoms to help relieve them, as i am on day 3 of symptoms, i'm to take paracetomol and rest as the anti virals wouldn't do much good.
I am feeling better than i did at the weekend, but am still feeling poorly and weak. I don't have a sore chest but i do keep getting a pain on the left side under my ribs. I forgot to mention that. and now i have loads of questions that i wished i had thought of when i was on the phone to my GP...

I don't think it's a question of anti virals or your body fighting swine flu, i think the anti virals just help relieve your symptoms and you have to let swine flu take its course....

That just doesnt make sense to the whole thing going on on the news, the reason this swine flu can get so bad is because it cant cure itself, whereas human flu can...

If you can get better from it in a few days then whats the big deal about?
