Has anyone else had swine flu on here?

Question

I went on holiday last week to the lake district and became unwell.  I was in Haven Park and the toilet block had NO soap in the toilets all week which was a disgrace ( i did ask 3 times for it).  Luckily I had my alcohol rub in the tent and the family all used that as well as our own soap.  After 5 days I had a sore back, followed by chills, severe headache, extreme tiredness, nausea and stomach pains.  
I have to admit, despite working for NHS i never thought it was swine flu but spoke to my colleague (a GP) today and she reckons it may well have been swine flu.

I feel fine now - it only lasted 3 days and only severely for 36 hours.

Has anyone else had it and how did they feel?  Also my hubby and kids haven't contracted it so i doubt it was the real swine flu?

The main symptoms tend to last for about 5 days, it can take a bit longer for you to feel totally well again. The incubation period for swine flu is about 24-48 hours but can in some cases take up to a week.

It could have been swine flu that you had, there is no way of really knowing. At least you are better now and recovered without any problems.

most of my family thought we had swine flu the other week there as we felt really unwell fo over 7 days and swine flu is said to last at least 7 days with so many normal seasonal flu symptoms, we had stuff like that but got over it unsure if it even was that but seems that really anyone and ever one can get it alot without even knowning it really. some people will be more immune to these things than others but there is a chance you have caught anything, could be swine flu could be something else, without being tested you will never know, 

but you got over it so i wouldn't worry to much.
