is there a symptom that makes swine flu stand out? if so, what? alot of people at my school might have it, and one guy on the football team already DOES! (he could have spread it by playing football!) and what can we do to prevent it? other than the vaccine that hasn’t come out yet?

I had a bout of vertigo last month, but after two days on AntiVert, it went away. However, I keep getting little "relapses" or sudden onsets that will last a few moments.
