Have just been sent home from work.
Felt good all morning,then ten minutes before lunch came over really dizzy..as if suddenly very drunk.As I walked home started a headache and sore throat.Am still incredibly dizzy.No temperature tho which makes me think its not flu and just some other virus,but just wondered from those of you who've had it,does it start like this?I'm actually holding on to the table to type!

Sorry, not had it but these are the symptoms as listed by the NHS website...you or a member of your family has a fever or high temperature (over 38°C/100.4°F) and two or more of the following symptoms, you may have swine flu:

unusual tiredness,
headache,
runny nose,
sore throat,
shortness of breath or cough,
loss of appetite,
aching muscles,
diarrhoea or vomiting.

Hope you feel better soon.

As you know I had it recently Mazz. Symptoms sound quite similar. Mine came on with no warning, felt fine going to work, by 9.30 I was sweating and dizzy, by 10.30 my head was on the desk and I went home. Temperature developed mid afternoon and was diagnosed at 6pm. For me, it wasn't like normal flu at all (flu symptoms came out about 3 days in), but it's like nothing Ive ever had before. You just feel completely wiped out, can barely move, dizziness, and generally feeling extremely shite.

Keep an eye on how you go, especially if your temperature goes up. And dont believe the 38 mark an above, I was diagnosed with a temp of 37 but that was cos of other symptoms. You need to get your Tamiflu within 48 hours otherwise it wont be effective.

Wishing you better matey xxx

Thanks Karms Valentine

It was the suddeness of it that struck me!One minute I felt absolutely fine,the next I felt like I'd taken 10mg of valium and washed it down with neat vodka(not that I know how it feels!).My throats feeling a bit tickly and my eyes are starting to feel gritty and tired.
I've just had a glass of water and 2 paracetamol,so its just a case of wait and see what develops.
