Are there any symptoms of swine flu that stand out from normal flu?
So the swine flu was/is in my city but i don't know exactly how many people got it. Anyway I've now come down with something and i was just wondering if anyone knew of any differences between it and normal flu just for reassurance even though i doubt i have it?

swine flu IS normal flu- its just that this particular strain has come from pigs!
beleive me if you had the flu you wouldnt be on here because you'd feel too lousy to even bother typing. its very very different from a cold- even a bad one.
if you get to a point where you think you have any kind of flu, you need to see a doctor and have it treated with anti virals, just as you would with 'people' flu.
best wishes

it is like a normal flu, but your immune system cannot handle it

-sore muscles
-Systemic Fever
-Runny nose, and sore throat
Gastric, Nausea and vomiting
-Diarrea (sorry cant spellit right lol)
-Respritory, like coughing
if you are really concerned, you should see your doctor

Primary symptoms: high fever (101) and a bad headache
Secondary symptoms - respiratory problems and muscle aches
Other symptoms - diarrhea, nausea, cold, cough as any other flu/stomach flu.
Looks like the secondary symptoms become severe after few days, which causes the toll/scare. This is definitely worse than regular flu, being quickly contagious.
look for the quick spread in the map under cdc.gov/H1N1

No real differences, although it was noted that in swine flu more cases of Diarrhea and vomiting have been reported.
