could this be swine flu ?

I have been feeling pretty much under the weather since yesterday with nauseas, da trotts, a total lack of appetite and worst of all a very sore tummy for no cause that I could think of. The symptoms have started quite suddenly yesterday in the early afternoon. I really thought I was going to get sick so, here's what I've done to save the day--same as I always do whenever I'm being plagued with a gastro-enteritis virus :

Infused peppermint with fresh ginger + honey/sugar+ apple cider vinegar--I suppose any good quality vinegar would do, surely. This concoction stops the nauseas fairly quickly.
I later took Arsenic Album 30c, then Lycopodium 30c, then Sulfur 30c in the evening. I have had a far much more bearable day as a result. Still not much of an appetite though, and the nauseas have more or less re-appeared so I'll have to go through the whole process again tonight. If it wasn't for these `life-saving' homeopathic remedies though, I would definitely panick a bit. I can't stand feeling sick, one of the most debilitating n horrendous experiences to endure as far as I'm concerned, along with spiders, dentist's surgeries and childbirth--which thanksfully I'll never subject meself to as I ain't a compulsive masochist ta very much . I may be judged as a wimp here, even by me perhaps...(?) well, lemme be a wimp then, my prerogative innit.

Whenever my dinausors have diarrhoea, which hardly ever happens these days, I give them
Arsenic Album 30c too, along with Lycopodium 30c . Lycopodium would be given as the sole remedy if this is just a case of colitis. In this situation, I would also feed the greedy piglet(s) wih fresh (boiled) chicken + a bit of white rice (tiny bits of baby carrots for good digestion) and also a few grains of `ProPlan Delicate' because these are the only dry food to my knowledge that can quickly put a stop to the cat's trotts-not that I would normally be a big fan of this brand, cuzz I'm not actually. Unless it's a case of upset tummy that is.

Also, kittycattus stands a much better chance in view of a quicker recovery if his drinking water has been either previously boiled (then cooled obviously) or has been substituted for mineral spring water.
Personally, I always boil their water the night before, as i do not trust tapwater n for good reasons too. If not, they get the volvic one. That way, if they ever get sick I know for sure the water is not the culprit.

I also gave Lycopodium to Frederick at a time when he was a bit anaemic--took me ages to realise that he actually had fleas-- with (but not at once) Ferrum Metallicum 30c. From my readings research, I have learned that Lycopodium will help n fix the iron (from ferrum metallicum n other dietary sources)

I am wondering still...did I catch a mini-version of poxy swine flu? moi !?? This is unthinkable.... if so, could my sprogs catch it from me ?
I'll have to undertake a bit of google search for that one n will let you know.
