is it swine flu??
okay so for the past few days ive been really drowzy nd then two days ago my throat started to hurt really bad and yesterday was the worst....my head hurt so bad i started to cry in my seventh period class and my teacher...whos soooooo nice nd i love him hehe....let me take a blanket and big fuzzy pillow nd sleep in the corner. When i woke up i still felt horrible but two hours later i felt perfectly fine and played amazingly in my volleyball game. I then went to watch my friend's football game but had to leave at half time cuse i was having uncontrollable tremors an my headache was making me dizzy. For two hours at home i was shaking and felt so weak an was crying because my head hurt so bad.
Today my tremors stopped....i have a fever...my throat feels like i have strept throat....i have a really runny nose....im really weak....my head hurts soooooo bad..and im haing a hard time breathing. soooo idk the symptoms of swine flu but do you????
Last weekend I went to an antiviral clinic to preregister for medication in the event of a swine flu pandemic. The nurse said it's much like the regular flu except for these most obvious symptoms to recognize swine flu are a fever of 104 or higher and a bad cough that won't go away. Can you check your temperature? You might consider seeing a doctor anyway. Even if it is just something like strep throat, you should have it treated.

Swine flu is just a flu -- it does not usually involve severe headaches. It involves an all over achey body feeling, a heavy duty fever (which means your teeth will be chattering and then you will be sweating), sore throat and cough. I'm not sure if you mean by tremors that you were just shaking (which could be the fever) or if you had pronounced spasms in your hands, arms, etc?
You need medical attention and you should call ahead to let them know your symptoms and in particular the painful headache. Also, if you know whether you have been vaccinated for meningitis or not, be sure to let them know that as well, if they don't already have it on file.
If you're having a hard time breathing then you need to be seen by a doctor, like now! As it sounds, you are still in high school so I also think that you need to talk to your parents and tell them how you're feeling.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!
