I first noticed I was a little achey earlier this afternoon. There's just the slightest hint of soreness in my throat, and I may be developing a cough or maybe not... and now just a few minutes ago I took my temp... 100! **** me. My school's health center was starting free flu shots TOMORROW! :bitching:
I guess I'll just have to slug it out tomorrow if it doesn't go away tonight (hopefully it will). Meanwhile, the first rain of the season has come and it's really windy so practices have been cancelled. Hopefully I don't miss any swimming. :badday:
I'm most afraid that I'll get a cough and start hacking up fluids. Wouldn't that be bad for my lungs?
At least I know turning into athlete is not turning me into a hypochondriac.
Any advice from fellow swimmers who battled the flu/cold/whatever during competitive season, on getting back to the pool ASAP?

My advice would be to break the chain - don't go out in public and give it to others.
(Also I'm not sure what they are advising for young people with H1N1 to do so you might contact your student health clinic they may be able to tell you if you should start on tamiflu/relenza and symptoms that you should watch out for, since some (like fluid in the lungs) may be serious.)
