Well as the cases reported are steadily increasing I was wondering if any one on CF has had/have/might of had/might have it.
As confusing as the above sentence is I am just as confused.
I have mild flu like symtoms (and hoping the stay mild) and as I work in a nursery next door to 2 schools that have confirmed cases, I called NHS Direct for advice. After questions the nurse told me its either flu or Swine flu. I didn't need to go to my GP, just stay home, drink plenty of fluids, rest and take painkillers. Call back if I need to ask anything else or if I get concerned. Not to bother the GP as they won't do anything more as they aren't bothering testing anymore or giving out tablets unless you have any other underlying medical conditions ie lung/heart problems, asthama.
Oh and I found out that you "could" be contagious upto a week before symptoms appear. Erm I got ill on thursday so erm beware those who were at the Live! Just remember I am NOT a "confirmed" case.
All I have now symptoms wise is a occasional tickerly cough and a bit tireder than normal I am considering returning to work tomorrow.
