When Joe returned back from Germany he had complained that he wasn't feeling well and had come down with some sort of cold. Those of you who know Joe, it seems like he is always coming down with something. It sometimes worries us that he must have the worst immune system ever...OR...he knows it will get him out of walking the dogs. Anyway, so Joe complained about being sick for about 3 weeks, during this time I never really realized he was sick. He may have sneezed here or there and may have had a stuffy nose or something, but that is all. So, we were watching the news last night about the "Swine Flu" and how it is spreading rapidly among people between the ages 25-65 (something like that) Joe is now convinced he had the swine flu! I am convinced he had a case of a "mild cold".
As we sat on the couch with our phones, he googled "Swine Flu Symptoms" which read...tiredness, headache, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, aching muscles, diarrhea or vomiting.
So, I googled "Cold Symptoms" which read...sneezing, running nose, tired, mild cough, possible fever.
Joe didn't have vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath or loss of appetite...he didn't even miss a day of work. BUT, he is convinced he beat the Swine Flu...he's amazing!
So, what are your thoughts?
I must add, I did catch whatever it was that Joe had. I too came down with horrible congestion, sneezing and was tired also...mine lasted 3 days.
