So what do you think... really bad head cold = swine flu? Or just really bad head cold?

Josh is on day four and mostly better, after 3 days off work last week. I am on day two and very tired, after 1 day off last week. We both had our seasonal flu shots a while ago.

Either way, sharing a cold? Still not as romantic as it sounds...

Flu usually includes fever, body aches, chills, and often stomach issues. Colds rarely involve those symptoms.

There is some speculation that the really bad colds going around might be mild cases of H1N1, but I don't think there's much to back that up.

But, well, either way being sick is no fun and I hope you two feel better soon!

Yeah, Brian got it in Iceland and I held out for a week. I was sore-throaty and tired for 2 days and then fine.

I hope you feel better soon!

I'm hoping its a bad cold. I've got it coming on too, after sending 5 students home with a fever this week.

I've been having a really bad sore throat with chest/head congestion and a temperature in the mid 99s degrees (ie. not entirely at fever but keeps approaching). I'm hoping it's just a mild case of swine flu (or just the flu...i've yet to get my seasonal flu shot).

I've been finding that drinking lots of liquids and sleeping has been helping along with some meds like sudafed and nightquil (but not at the same time).
