    Would swine flu have happened under the Tories?

      You've missed the Not Sure option.

      Had an infection a few weeks ago with a soar throat/sneezing/feeling tired, but didn't seem so bad so still carried on as normally.

      Was it swine flue or just some other infection ? I'm not sure.

        Just buried in lime would do, like in the old days.

          Defo had the flu - not sure if it was the piggy variety as Dr said (during a telephone consultation) they'd stopped testing for it and had now moved in to the 'containment phase'
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            Pogle,

            Is it a really bad flue ? or pretty mild ?

              I guess it depends on the individual - I have not had any time off sick for 3 years and I was flat on me back for a week (and not in the good way)
              I had a temperature of 40 (around 103 in old money) and you remember that really hot weather we had the other week? I was in bed, fully clothed, wrapped in a duvet, clutching a hot water bottle - I was FREEZING .

              I think the problem with piggy flu is not it's severity, but just how contagious it is.
              I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                Amazing. The media have been going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this for months.

                  Started off with a sore throat a week ago, felt a bit rough on Wednesday night while out, felt nauseous early evening on Thursday while out and decided to rest over the weekend. Thought I was over it but this morning I woke up and felt very weak in my legs and fluey and have taken 4 paracetemol throughout the day, which is a lot more than I would normally take, but I felt particularly weak at 5pm. The paracetemol was extremely effective.

                  Not sure it's swineflu but I hope it is because once I'm over it I can get on with enjoying the rest of the summer.

                    Paracetemol is useless. Try a bottle of brandy, to sweat it out.

                      I've not really had much of a temperature, but perhaps that will hit me tomorrow. Not much sneezing or cold but a bad throat with lots of phlegm until today when I seem to have moved onto the weakness stage. I did spend about half an hour on and off in the sauna today, so I hope that has helped.

                      I tend to go for the hot water and rum option if things get really bad.
