I had swine flu and didn't even know it!

Just sought a second opinion from a GP and it seems they've concluded I have had swine flu. After three to four weeks of feeling shit. Originally they claimed due to a lack of temperature at the time of visiting the surgery I didn't have it but now they've concluded that they can't rule out swine flu and it seems more probable than the sinus infection they originally diagnosed me with as antibiotics didn't kill it.

They've recommended plenty of water and paracetamol to prevent the headaches I'm currently getting as a result.

They never really can diagnose influenza from symptoms though, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza-like_illness they just diagnose it as probable. So they probably couldn't tell whether you had the H1N1 swine flu virus or another type of flu virus. Either way though, antibiotics wouldn't have helped.

One of my friends got flu while he was at Download festival, he didn't really see anyone else while he had it though except his friend who also had it. I saw him when he was mostly over it but he didn't think it was worth seeing a doctor about which is good because if he'd been diagnosed they would have stopped me and my other friends going to Glastonbury because we'd been in contact with him!

Hope you feel better soon Jono.

Yeah, feeling pretty decent now. It explains a lot about how I was feeling in the past though. Just the headaches I need to get rid of - don't think medication really helps.

In a way you are lucky... When/if the flu starts infecting thousands of people during the winter you will be immune. It's better to catch it now but don't go having swine flu parties... Even if it does infect a lot more people during winter we still don't know how deadly it is. We have been told the people who died from H1N1 had "serious underlying health problems". Why don't they just tell us what their problems were? Why this mystery...?

I'm not sure, but I think if you suffer from hay fever and asthma then you're more susceptible to contracting swine flu. If you are unlucky enough to get it, then I think it hits you harder than those without underlying health issues.

Gutted I have both of those!

I pick up most flus going so it's no surprise that I've had it. I have to go to for flu jabs each year off of old people :P

Normal flu jabs only involve one needle - from what I understand, they pick the most likely looking flu virus for that season and vaccinate people against that one.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
