Hopefully someone can help me here...I came down with the flu ~2 weeks ago, was in really bad shape for a week, and then last week was feeling a lot better.

Then, yesterday, I woke up with an awful sore throat, terrible headache, fever, body aches, the whole thing all over again. Can the flu come back? Is it a different strain? (I had the seasonal flu shot back in early Oct) Did I just not rest up enough the first time?

=(
 
I think this is one of the characteristics of the H1N1 flu, that it can come back on you like that. I''d call and ask your doctor, but if you don''t have a bad cough or chest congestion, just try to rest up and drink lots of fluids...rest really is key in allowing your body to heal.

I know how frustrating it is to be sick, we''ve had all kinds of viruses lately, I even wondered if I had MONO I was so sick with so many things! Doing lots better now though!

You will too, hang in there and I hope you feel better soon!

I would get checked out by your doctor.

The only way that the flu can have a "resurgance" if you were unlucky and got 2 different strains of flu. At least in my area, H1N1 is all we are seeing.
 
I would call your doctor, as LF recommended. I hope you feel better soon!
 
It took me about two full weeks to get over the H1N1, I had a fever and seriously couldn''t breathe for that full time pretty much. It was the worst I''d been sick in 15 years at least. Make yourself rest. I didn''t, I kept working after the first couple days, and it was stupid. SLEEP! (I got it the last week of October, and I''m still coughing icky things up- definitely don''t be an idiot like I was and let yourself recover properly.)
 
I think you''re either not over the first flu or you picked up another strain while your immune system was compromised from the first. I''d definitely go see your doc.
 
I''m going on 6 weeks with the H1N1 and my breathing is STILL laboured. As for my fever, I had high fever for a week, then felt better for just under 2 days, and then went back to having fever. But with a greater than 2 week difference, I''m thinking you caught another infection. Take lots of rest, your immunity isn''t back to normal yet so the more you rest, the better it would be for your body.
