do I have the swine flu? :( please answer.
friday night i noticed i had a slight sore throat & small cough. this continued through saturday. this morning (sunday) i woke up feeling terrible. i'm so sore and achey, i feel like ive been in a brawl. i have the worst headache - moving my head at all is agonizing. my eyes hurt (terribly) when i move them too far in any direction. i have a fever of 101.5, am dizzy & nauseous. this can range from moderate to bad. it doesn't hurt to breath, but it's laborous, and i feel congested. i feel like i have to puke, but can't. i don't have much of an appetite, and when i only eat i few bites i immediately regret it. i googled the symptoms and i have almost every one. but do you think i do? please help :( a few kids at my school had it too. and my mom is showing the same symptoms. do i? :(

Sounds like it. I just got over it last week and missed 4 days of work from it. Your symptoms are similar to mine. I went to the emergency room for diagnosis, but I pay for health insurance so it won't set me back much.
Flu season hasn't started yet, so it's more likely to be swine flu. You should be thankful for that. Despite how the media has played it up, swine flu is far less dangerous than your typical strain. I was given tamaflu for treatment, which is not a cheap med. Either way, you'd need a prescription, so I highly suggest a doctor visit. You'll get an irritating swab and you'll sit in an office for about 4 hours, then you'll get some prescriptions to have filled and you'll lay in a bed for a few days.
Hey, it beats going to work.

Swine flu is less dangerous than the standard influenza a that people have been getting vaccinated for for years.
Is it possible you have some form of flu? Yeah, it is. Is swine flu something to worry about? No, it is not.
Heres a statistic. This year so far less than 1000 people have died from swine flu. Every year, approximately 30,000 people die from the normal, standard flu. Swine flu has thus far killed less than a tenth of the people that the regular flu has worldwide.
Drink orange juice, stay away from people, keep your stuff clean and wash your bed stuff every few days (beds can be a horrible breeding ground for germs and such). Tylenol cold and flu can help manage the symptoms.
