Exactly one week before media picked up on this new “swine flu” phenomenon in the far-west Chicago suburbs. Aurora, “Mexico North” area. People’s republic of Illinois is amnesty zone for illegals. I am 51 years old, and believe I contracted it from elementary school age grand children in the local school system.

Time line:

Thursday felt very tired and chilled.: Explosive lower GI symptoms

Friday: 101 fever, Lower GI symptoms, persistent upper GI symptoms. Appetite went to 0. Ingested only water. Stayed close to head. Slept, when not in head.

Saturday: Same as Friday: Water, Chicken soup, Jello. Upper GI symptoms abated, Lower GI symptoms slowed, but not gone. Fever: 99.9. Slept most of the day.

Sunday: Chicken soup diet continued: Fever 99.0: Some Normalization of lower GI But, still had to remain close to head. Energy beginning to return.

Monday: Fever gone, well rested. Appetite returned. Back to work!

Thursday: Media started talking about swine flu pandemic, and specific outbreaks: Pockets in far west suburban area. Duh!

I recall the 1976 :”swine flu,” where the vaccine was causing more complications than the disease itself. I would not expect any difference in this new H1N1 vaccine. Perhaps, its better to risk the virus, than to risk the vaccination?
