You're saying it could be? Going back to the doctor tomorrow, but I'm surprised to hear your description of the symptoms - it is not what my doctor suggested, and it fits with what I've had.

A few weeks ago Santa Clara County Department of Health told us that 99% of all flu like symptoms in the area are H1N1. There just aren't too many other bugs going around right now, at least in Silicon Valley.
That being said, getting swabbed really doesn't do much for you. It lets you tell your friends, "I had swine flu", but not much else. Tamiflu helps a little bit, but only if you take it in the first 2 days of symptoms. So, you're pretty much screwed. Sorry.
If you start to cough up colored goo, or have a hard time breathing by all means go to see the Bone Saw again.
I did not have ANY GI symptoms, though. Or high fever, so they weren't too concerned.
There is a hacking virus thing going around here that isn't H1N1, and I think I had that.
In any case, I'm rapidly improving now. Even getting some hearing back in my right ear.
The symptoms are ridiculously vague. The test was like "Do you have 2 or more of the following? [fever, cough, cold, sore throat, etc].
I'd ask for a specific test to be sure what it is.
