I had H1N1 back in June after a business trip to Tucson. I had one day of very intense fever (104) achy body, etc. The second day was MUCH better (101) and the third I felt fine. My husband and I went on Tamiflu witihn 12 hours of me showing symptoms. Luckily I didn't wake my 1 year old up when I got back from the trip- so he went straight to grandma's and stayed til I was not contagious.

They told me I could go out in public as long as I wore a mask (translation- I am staying in my house). We were super careful about germs and my husband didn't get it.

As far as how it affected my CF- the chest congestion lingered a bit longer than it probably does for others (but it seems like this is case for any cold)

i went to the er a few days ago because of a fever and flu like symptoms, and i woke up and coughed up some blood (not really new). got tested for the flu... found out i have influenza A and they are doing more tests to determine if it's swine.

i felt bad for about 4-5 days but i feel better now. they gave me tamiflu and now are putting me on iv meds for 3 weeks to be careful... it sucks because my cf doctor is out of town at a CF convention or something, but he'll be back soon so i hope he can get everything in order.
