I had a flu back in May that sounds similar to what you're describing. It lasted at least a week and had most of those symptoms. The sore throat lasted longer than a week and the flu actually STARTED with a sore throat.

Is it possible that this was the swine flu? I went to a doctor but they did not know enough at the time to say such a thing.

Regardless, it was nasty and I made it out stronger (or at least, I hope).
