From what I've been reading, and also saw a doctor on Fox News yesterday said it too...H1N1 does have gastrointestinal symptoms. The doctor on Fox last night said that's how you can tell the difference between the H1N1 and seasonal flu. H1N1 has a higher incidence of nausea and diarrhea.

But, you'd also have a higher fever with H1N1, and a lot more body aches than with the regular flu.

I'm not getting vaccinated for H1N1, (or seasonal flu) so I'm going to ask my doctor for a Rx for Tamiflu (if I can find out it's safe for MSers) and keep some of that on hand just in case I get sick. (we actually have some Tamiflu upstairs, but I'm saving that for my parents since they're older and my dad has a heart condition and my mom has asthma)
