Lindsay Lohan Is Scared She Has Swine Flu

The 23-year-old actress has been feeling tired and “achey” since visiting a friend who is suffering from the potentially-fatal virus last week.

Last night she came down with flu-like symptoms and took to the internet to ask her fans if they thought she could be infected.

“What are the symptoms of Swine Flu? achey? My friend had it and I am sick :( and I'm now concerned!!!! (sic),” Lindsay wrote.

The star was soon inundated with hundreds of messages from concerned fans urging her to seek treatment for her illness instead of wasting time asking people on the internet. Lindsay was angry with their criticism, insisting she had called her doctor and wasn’t even sure if she had the disease.

“I never said I have it or anything, I was just reaching out to ask because everyone here may know different things about it. Isn't this what twitter is for?

“I don't and my doctor is coming now - so many people are so negative sometimes. Such bad energy! Be positive everyone! (sic),” she wrote.
