I think I have Swine Flu

So yesterday it was very windy in the midwest but nice and sunny. I decided to go out and take some photos of the town and drive around. By evening time I had experienced a cough and sore throat.

Today I've already taken a nap, I feel exhausted, my muscles ache and my joints hurt. I've taken some over the counter flu meds and I'm hoping tomorrow I'll feel better.


I really wanted to get to lifer status on here but I may not make it. Having no job and insurance is preventing me to go see a doctor.

I'm toast ATOT.

I live in new york and I had the flu last week. I didn't even know about the swine flu thing until this weekend. I wonder if i had it? I had muscle aches, fever, cough, fatigue, and nasal congestion. Same symptoms as normal flu. This was actually much milder than the flu I got a couple of months ago.

This is why you shouldn't let your boyfriend go to town on you on a Monday night.

Twitter says the swine flu has merged with nano-machines and is capable of human-to-internet transmission. Time to nuke the entire forum....


From Orbit.

Fantastic, STS-125 is headed to hubble (which is in a higher orbit than the ISS), so they can take out both problems while they are up there.

Have your mother give you some warm milk with honey and to children's aspirin. Have her tuck you in with your teddy bear and you should be fine in the morning.

I just woke up guys, I still feel like somebody punched me in the gut and balls at the same time. But without the pain... a weak feeling.

I took some cold meds last night and just did for today. Sigh my hours are numbered....

I'm in NY as well, had same symptoms on Friday to Monday (still coughing up phlegm today) plus chills but no fever.

I, too, had flu about 2 months ago, and this isn't that bad compared to it. I doubt it's swine flu, though.

don't worry, you've got at least as much time on this Earth as the CDC has given Jack Bauer to live. :Q

Lick your arm.

If it tastes like bacon you have the swine flu.

If it doesn't you have the AIDS.

AHA! The reason for the higher mortality rates is .......the power of bacon. Those that can resist it survive, the weak eat themselves to death.
