SWINE FLU. FOR SRS
Guys. GUYS.
/o\
I think I have Swine Flu.
No - I'm not joking and it's not that I've sneezed twice and am freaking out.
My cousins (who live by my brother and their kids interact a lot) have been in the local news because the whole of their family got it (confirmed cases). Then my brother was really unwell with flu-like symptoms (but it couldn't POSSIBLY be flu because he only threw up once! And the aching joints he had didn't count. And though he had a fever and a killer headache and major fatigue and total loss of appetite (you get the picture) he didn't have a COUGH so it couldn't POSSIBLY be... Yeah. My brother is DUMB sometimes).
But because he OMG-didn't-have-flu, my brother brought the kids up to stay with my mum last weekend. And then returned to pick them up this weekend. And this weekend? About 5-7 days after my brother came up the first time? My Dad, my Mum AND my sister all started feeling unwell with, you got it, flu-like symptoms.
And I've woken up this morning with a sore throat, aching joints, a headache and a cough.
/o\/o\/o\/o\
I'm going to call my GP when they open at 8am.
GUYS. /o\
(At least I have anti-virals already in the house? One good thing about working for such a large company who would rather spend loads on getting every employee them more than 6 months ago than deal with even longer sick time. \o?)
/o\
ETA: Spoke to doctors who have confirmed that it is. Work are all "Yeah...don't come in..."
