Anyone come down with swine flu yet?
I think I may have......
I have kept my kids quarantined because there is flu in the school and wouldn't you know it, I think I am coming down with it.
I have been achy, with a sore throat that is quickly morphing into a chest cold. I have a dry cough.
Anyone else?
Should I be running to the docs for Tamiflu or just ride it out?

You should probably step away from the ledge and breathe for a second. If you got the good old swine consider yourself lucky. Maybe an appearence on Oprah is next.

I was achy with the worst sore throat I've ever had and coughed up green muck (sorry, TMI). It turned out to be strep throat. It took almost two weeks to get better. 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to take Tamiflu within two to three days, if you have the flu?
Feel better~ |

I think I may have had it... it lasted forever! Finally feeling 100%. I didn't go to the doctor - I just dealt with it like any other cold or flu. I heard that there's an outbreak at one of the local schools... a handful of kids from Long Valley seem to think they have the swine flu. Summer is nearly here and hopefully it will diminish. |

Yes. I belive I and my whole family had it. It had a high fever and a dry cough and achiness/lethargy. The really bad part only last two days, then we were all just sort of tired for a week.
We didn't bother with the Tamiflu.I didn't go to the doc. |

I think if you have flu symptoms then you have swine flu. There is nothing else going on. A lot of people have it without realizing it. It's not that serious if you are healthy.
