The Cellar - View Single Post - So, Who's Had the (Insert Type Here) Flu?

I was swabbed for a flu test that came back negative, but I was told they are only accurate about 20% of the time. I certainly feel flu-ed. All the same symptoms, with bronchitis, upper respiratory infection, and what I call "haunted lungs" - (crackling, whistling, and moaning noises with every breath) wasn't enough to convince them to call it flu. Only reason I want to know is to find out if I should go ahead with the H1N1 vaccination now or not.

Hope you're feeling well soon.
