* Fever with a rash
* Fast breathing or trouble breathing
* Bluish skin color

Anecdotal account from a contributor:
I started to feel ill with flu 7 days ago. The day after this I had to go abroad for 4 days, and when I got home was told 3 of my close workmates have been diagnosed with swine flu. I cannot get tested as I cannot get to surgery, but it almost certainly is swine flu. Symptoms are dizziness, aching bones especially back and base of skull, sore throat, headaches, bad cough runny nose, eyes etc. Today I developed a rash on my lower legs - red raised spots which look a little like blisters. I have never seen anything like this before. I am 51 years old.
