I had it once, my son was a toddler, he spend the morning running around the house, every so often coming over to me and forcing my eyelids open. I've never been so glad to see my hubby in my life at 2pm. My son was even more glad as it meant he was getting food and not the pieces of bread he managed to get from cupboard.
Hubby and son both got swine flu when we had that major epidemic, I was just out of hospital and couldn't walk, we were in a right old mess as no one was strong enough to prepare food etc.
I think I missed getting swine flu as I had flu jab and body was better equipped to fight it
