I would call the doctor's office and tell them you're worried she might have swine flu. My dad did it for me and now, even though I hate it, I'm on Tamiflu and I'm starting to improve. If she does have H1N1 and goes in to the office, there's a possibility she could infect other people. Your GP should be able to give you the correct number to call, where someone will ask about her condition. From over the phone, you could get a prescription medicine like Tamiflu for her. If you were really desperate, you could be able to get her to take a blood test, though. Good Luck! :)

Its really important ur mum goes to doctors as what she has sounds like muscle fatigue syndrome.very common in women over thirty.they can give her treatment to help get better and lessen symptoms.its an unexplained sudden onset of flu like symptoms that occurs as often as every day or as little as once a year but it can be painful and serious.the symptoms are,vomiting and headaches,bluurred vision,muscle cramps that are very painful,feverishnes,weakened muscles and bones,feeling depressed alot.on a less sever note it may just be a flu virus as there are alot of them atm.either way she should see a doctor.hope this helps x
