   hi,kids have had bad nite coughs and colds but only at night and i feel got blocked sinus n head cold with mild 3 day headache but not feeling too bad apart from very tired....sent my kids to school and they kept asked daily if she was ok as knew she had had a slight temp and trouble at night i said was fine in day just seems to be at night....than got letter 2 days ago saying someone at school may have swine flu but not confirmed and been given the antiviral so why didnt they tell me day ago when im sure they knew incase my kids have got mild form??maybe we have just a cold who knows...but so long as we arent really ill with furthur temps im not gonna panic i think there are a lot who have had it or got it that really arent aware as so mild.Think we must all just be alert xx

   I work at supermarket and shockingly I've not seen anything being done to help combat swine flu, all I have seen is posters that say catch it kill it and bin it.
   Yeah.. big help.
   I would have expected pocket moisturisers or something.
   To be fair I do tend to wash my hands alot more now.

   I had the symptoms appear on Wednesday and was fortunate enough to be prescribed tamiflu. It's Saturday morning and I can honestly say apart fron the very heavy feeling in my limbs and the overiding need to sleep every couple of hours, the horrendous headache, muscle aches and sore throat have gone. It all came on very quickly and had I had a say in it and hubby had not rung the doctor whilst I was asleep and very unwell on Wenesday I would have just gone back to work on Friday feeling grotty. The children and hubby went to school and work on Thursday as the GP said that there was no point excluding contacts, hubby gort to stay at work but the two schools freaked out and sent my healthy kids home as soom as they arrived with a letter explaining mum was unwell. GP'S say carry on as normal and schools say keep contacts at home. Hubby's work have said if he is off work because they freak he will have to be unpaid as it is carers leave so to stay at work till he gets any symptoms, if he does. Anyway felt rotten for two days and now feeling very tried but much better. I9f people get it like I did it will continue to spread as there is no joined up thinking between local councils, schools, g.p's and the workplace at large. Less panic please.

   oh here we go, are we going to have a running commentary every time some poor soul dies from swine flu? What about the deaths today from cancer,heart disease,MS,parkinsons,etc,etc,are we going to report on all those too?No, because its all part and parcel of life.A doctor once told me by the time a cure is found for cancer,then there will be something equally deadly to take its place! That said, come on ppl, if you feel well today,get on with living,instead of listening to scaremongers.
