I asked the Doc that very question. Her answer was that the symptoms matched and that Swine Flu was the only strain of flu going around right now.... so she had to assume that is what is was.
D.A.L.U.I.:
There was a test that they're apparently not even using anymore, but it was only 60% accurate. Like SlyinKC says, if you or your family has flu symptoms, it's probably swine. You have to watch it, most cases are mild it appears, but if it becomes more severe, high temps, etc. seek professional medical help, quick.

I felt tired, beaten totally lacked any energy or concentration. At night, sweats & chills, more hacking, w/ disgusting phleme--from yellow to dark green. Then the fever broke, I kept coughing up all kinds of disgusting stuff, but finally, today, I'm only coughing once every couple of hours, rather than minutes. The coughing was exhausting, I couldn't sleep until I took a triple dose of Nyquil. But I'm on the mend. Damn, I'm glad I didn't wind up with any digestive problems--but that would have been tough--I didn't have any hunger at all--I've lost over 8 pounds. I just kept drinking water and pissing my guts out. That's what it was for me. My wife had nausia for several days, although that's breaking. My work buddy had really bad vomiting and diarriha the first night, then coughing. All had fevers of just over 100.

We "think" that my wife had the swine flu a few weeks ago. Her symptoms were identical to those above from SaintC. We also live in Georgia (near Atlanta). My wife is a school teacher and more than likely contracted it from one of her students as there have been several in the school that tested positive.
As for knowing wheather or not you have swine flu or the normal flu, from what I've heard, the swine flu is not nearly as bad as "the flu" as far as symptoms go.
...and I did stay in holiday in last night!
