here have some sympathy

then I have had it for 2 years!

Vomiting wasn't listed in the info I got from my consultant *shrugs*

well i dunno - i read it somewhere

the information I read on NHS Direct said vomiting is a symptom of swine flu but it's one of many symptoms and not everyone will have the same. Also the tamiflu drug makes you vomit

seriously? why give you drug that makes you ill?

Many times the cure is worse than the disease!

One of the drug cocktails I had to take made me so sick, I had to have the anti-sickness drugs had to be given to me IV because I couldn't keep them down. This went on until I had to have the next course. Same thing happens to people getting chemo therapy.

The only thing I am going on is the info my consultant gave to me.

I guess if it helps you get over this strain of flu quicker then you'd put up with a bit of vomiting - I know I would

have you taken your temperature and if so is it over 38 degrees?

The two symptoms you mentioned are related to swine flu but then they are related to just having a simple cold. It's the temperature that seals it!

Not necessarily, mine was 37.5 when I was diagnosed

I hopes you are feeling better!

This is such a bad time of year though, what with hay fever and all. I have a bit of hayfever - sneezing, watering eyes and all that, but I'm pretty certain that's all it is.

this is why there's so much confusion - they say you have to have a temp of 38 then diagnose (rightly or wrongly) swine flu with a lesser temp. Wish they'd make their bliddy minds up.

Hope you're feeling better

Aww cheers Yeah I'm much better now thanks. I never bought into the whole phone diagnosis rubbish and refused to accept it until Saturday morning when I couldn't get up the stairs. I dunno what to suggest to those feeling shitty, except it'll hit you like a truck and the sooner you get Tamifu the better, oh and take Tamiflu with food or else you'll want to chuck
