I have a feeling that I have the Swine Flu without all the aches and pains, and I keep coughing up this brown phlegm. I don't want to die quite yet. I have my whole life ahead of me. I think that I caught this nasty bug, when I was in the emergency ward, on Saturday night. Now I'm really beginning to hate Saturday nights. Great...just great.

Even if it's swine flu, your chances of dying are very slim.

Thanks for the reassurance. I think I'll get some Buckley's today. It tastes awful, and it works. :lol:

oh yuck! Sid, sorry to hear you are under the weather

isn't that the strangest thing to say? I have had it said to me when I was a child and for years I was afraid of clouds! I hope you feel better soon.

Swine flu normally has a temperature and stomach problems. In any even if you are ill best stay at home to recuperate.

I think you will be ok... just keep warm and well rested, and have plenty of fluids.

Im getting aches and pains and am tired alot lately with headaches and a bad stomach.Two of my legal assistant classmates have it.Apparently, it only kills the elderly and the weak, in which case, if you are a normally healthy person immune system wise, it should pass over just like any other flu.

Make sure you get tested for swine flu, I was sick all summer with swine flu along with my boyfriend and my room mate.
Compared to some cold or flu bugs, swine flu is relatively mild on the symptoms, I think the worst for me was the
extreme exhaustion runny nose and stomach issues which really sucked, all I can say is get plenty of rest, lots of fluids.
Get well soon, your not going to die from this
