I said earlier in this thread that I *might* have it, but I'm not sure. On and off I have the chills, but I haven't had much in the way of a fever. I've got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm able to swallow with minimal discomfort... but a sore throat isn't a primary symptom of H1N1. I HAD a massive headache, but then I discovered I had left-over codeine in my medical cabinet - no more headache. So the symptoms sorta fit and sorta don't fit. What makes me doubt that it's H1N1 even more is that those at work who HAVE had it said it knocked them out for a week and they didn't have the energy to do anything but lie in bed. I've gone for a walk (through the woods, not in public), did some yardwork and cleaned the garage.
Now the question becomes: Once I'm feeling better, do I still get the vaccine? I'm leaning towards yes since I don't know one way or the other if this is H1N1. This could just be a normal flu or a cold.
