Ok... yesterday I had aches all over my body, Had a fever, the sniffles, and coughing up mucus. Today I have no aches, no fever, but i still have sniffes and Im still coughing up mucus. The reason why Im asking if I have the swine flu is because my friend has it.

U might have a swine flu since U have the common symptoms. I suggest seeing a doctor before doing anything.:)

you can never be too sure until you get checked by a doctor so he order a blood count and stuff like that. You should get checked to be a 100% sure, before its too late, just in case.

It sounds like a lot of the symptoms and with your friend has it, then you have a higher chance of having it. You can go get tested for it, that's what my stepmom said. Hope you get to feeling better! :)

You would usually feel like you would die

You can't get up, you can't breathe through your nose, you loose your appetite on food, etc. You should have a fever

You could have Mono though, you can get it from sharing drinks or anything else. You don't have a fever when you get mono
