I really don't feel too bad. But hearing the story of that 13 year old from T.O freaks me out a little- apparently he went from mild symptoms to collapsing quickly. I am confused as to what signs would indicate I need to go to the hospital (if it gets that bad).

Here's a link to some straight forward advice on what to do if you have the Flu. It contains a list of symptoms that should be addressed immediately. Sadly the prevention info comes to late for me as I have been battling a high fever for several days now. I'll be seeing a doctor if it persits or gets worse
