Not sure I have suggestions to lessen the blow except to rest and take care of yourself. It's confusing because the regular flu and H1N1 have similar symptoms. Have read that although fever is listed as a symptom, not everyone gets a fever. If you have doubts or begin to feel worse, better to get checked out sooner due to the meds you're on. Although it's the weekend, maybe you can phone your doctor for advice? Hope you feel better soon.
