Angry Swine Flu

Dgammon6, it is a shame that your friend became so ill. We consider that we were really lucky in having it as we did. We did go to the Dr's and received a very strong antibiotic before the temp but by then we did have a very bad sore throat. I understand that if you get it you are immune from future bouts. I am hoping that is true. I think the most surprise and the worst part was after we were over the temp, sore throat, etc. we were very weak and tired for a few weeks and the cough hangs on for about 3-4 weeks. Years ago I had the regular flu which lasted over 10-12 days with chills and a high temp. This was not like that. It was like a minor regular flu during the height of the illness.
