I'm not trying to skive off work, but my nose and eyes are sore and I'm getting a headache, also sleeping really badly at night at well, say 5 hours max.

I think i had it last week but i wasn't ill enough to be off work so i kept going in. Then everyone i work with started dropping like flies 
I think a high fever is a symptom

I think that everyone is having difficulty sleeping. It's very close.
Sounds like a plant based allergy.
I think you'll know.
The girl who works in my office has just came back to work. She couldn't eat, had a fever, felt really bad and didn't get out of bed for days on end. I think it was about five days before she could eat anything again and she's still coughing. Although I'm informed that she's not contageous anymore thank goodness.
That's the big issue with this flu in that you're only getting one prescription for Tamiflu and it's not worth having it too early in case you've mis-diagnosed yourself.
Oops, I should finsh with... there there diddums ... have a night nurse or couple of paracetamol. It also sounds like you might just have hayfever!

PMSL
a couple of the preschoolers that i work with are off with suspected swine flu, their symptoms were high temperature, headache,feeling/being sick, sore throat and lethargic. Difficult to say if its swine flu or not symptoms are similar to any other flu, but it certainly knocked our preschoolers out considering they are both usually very active kids.

A bit, but it's been a few days now, I don't ever suffer Hayfever, and I'm not allergic to anything that I know of yet, maybe just tiredness, plus the weathers crapp innit.
Sounds like a serious dose of Man Flu to me

IMOAE 'Flu really lays one low. One can't get out of bed and one considers the option of dying.
You will know. YOu will feel like you are ready to die.
