I have not had the actual swine flu, but the shot I had for it put me down for the count almost 3 weeks! I had pains in my joints that I did not have before, felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I had hot and cold sweats, abnormal swelling, and finally the pains started to lessen. I was on a flu diet, soups, vegies, etc to boot immune system.  I hope you feel better soon.
