Title: Looks like I've had Swine Flu!
Post by: Lazydocker on 12 October 2009, 16:59:15
Been to doctors today as I got sent home from work on Sunday, my first day in for 12 days, because I looked like shite!

Went in for a certificate and he said it sounds like I've had swine flu... Apparently I fall right in the middle of the high risk demographic (25-35, generally fit and healthy, rarely ill) and was hit very hard by it!

Upshot was he signed me off until the 14th (my last shift) so I won't be back at work till Monday :y :y

Getting a bit frustrated really as I generally feel OK in the afternoon and evening but am feeling really rough for the first 4 or 5 hours of the day :( :(

thought you'd been a bit quiet lately...? Glad your on the mend.

We will ALL get it in the next year or so. According to "all you need to know about swine flu" on the telly. Probably over xmas holidays knowing my luck.

Is it bad? Difficult to tell if you never get ill i suppose.

Depends on your definition of bad? I rarely take time off work for illness but really was bad last week... I think it's been made worse by the fact I'm a little run down from burning the candle at both ends... Since we got back from Newent I had spent every spare moment working at the pub, decorating etc, until last Thursday when I physically didn't have enough strength/energy to get up :o :o :o

That said, it didn't even cross my mind it could be swine flu until someone suggested it on Friday. Was just like a bad dose of flu as far I was concerned ::) ::)

Hmm. Been feeling ropey myself today. Just my luck that I end up getting it just before I get my vaccination. >:(

I get the flu one each year and this year I guess I will get the swine flu one as well.  Problem is, though my doctors says not, it that I get ill 2 to 3 weeks after getting my flu jab, but dare not take the chance of not having it.... :( :(

I used to have the flu jab every year... It makes sense that you may get ill as it is a small dose of the virus ::) ::)

Never had any worse than a dead arm the next day.

Don't always bother but I think I'll be queueing up with the blue-rinsers this year just in case.

I only ever used to feel a little ropey for a day or so. I think I'll probably be getting one this year, just in case :y :y

I think those with under lying health issues, e.g.asthmatics, heart issues, should certainly consider it.

Mrs G is prone to chest infections when she gets a cold and has encountered breathing problems in the past. Wouldnt want that to get worse with a severe dose of flu much less swine flu....
