I have had swine flu and IMO it wasn't anything near or close to annual. I was given tamiflu and had a realy bad reaction to it(pill form, we have a saying in our house...if she hasn't got it...she'll have it ordered!!)Nontheless, I have been asked to come in for the shot specifically for swine flu. I also went into an anifalactic(sp?) shock with last years bog standard jab and my GP sent a car to Uni to pick me up....so I am a tad warey about having this one...can ya get swine flu more than once as we have one kid down with it again in this house? I fall into high risk category but most that I know who have had it say the same as me.
I was quarrantined and had a masked 'flu freind' at my beck and call. I suppose it hits everyone in different ways?
