Angry Swine Flu

I thought I would share with TOTV our experience. My wife and I returned from the UK about 8 weeks ago and 2 weeks after getting home I came down with a flu and a week later my wife also came down with it. When looking at the symptons it would appear that we had the matching symptons for Swine Flu.
We did go to a Dr. and received some antibiotics to prevent against a secondary infection. If it was the swine flu, which we suspect it was, it lasts about 5-6 days with a high temp of 101-102 for a day or two, very sore throat, and the rest of the problems that come with a flu including a lousy cough.. Good news is that the more serious problems were over in 5-6 days but remain weak and tired for a few weeks afterwards. It has been mentioned that it is not as bad a the regular flu and if it was the swine flu that is right. It is over faster and a shorter time of bad effects except for being tired and weak.
