Is this the swine flu?

For 3 days I have had moderate muscle and joint pains, relieved somewhat by 2 ibuprophen every 6 hrs. Started with headache and fatigue, and slight nausea. he headache and nausea are gone now ,but the muscle aches and aching,burning sensations on the skin continue. I have a low grade fever (99.2) that comes and goes . When the fever breaks I sweat profusely. We are also in a heat wave and the AC is broke.IN the beginning my pulse was elevated, but is normal now. My BP is normal. There is little or no respiratory involvement, except a little sinus and post nasal mucus. It gets better and worse with no regard to whether I rest or not.

    this does not sound like the novel H1N1 flu at all, if it did, you would be having major respiratory problems such as pneumonia, and TB (tuberculosis), mononucleosis can also set in earlier, not the normal 8-10 week incubation period.

    I had swine flu a couple months back and I had chills. And since your having a heat wave you may be expierncing a heat flash. Maybe not swine flu, just your body asking to be cooled off. Drink water and try to cool off. Maybe use your cars AC? I hope you Feel better.
