Epidemic of colds going around at the moment

I've had the lurgy for almost a month now. Usual symptoms and lots of dizziness. I've ended up with really dry sore eyes too for some reason. Very gunky in the morning too. I think I'm at last slowly getting better but my eyes are still so strained and hurting my face to focus on things. Even had an eye test to make sure it wasn't my vision but my sight is fine.

Daughter (2) has had something for several days, full of snot and coughing etc.

Missus has also got it now which is worrying as she's pregnant.

Must be hard for your missus as so much of the good stuff is contraindicated when you're pregnant

Yeah she can't even take strepsils. Having a rough time of it but she's a fit old bird who's never I'll, she'll be fine :p
 
This Aussie flu (maybe just normal flu) is no joke.

Felt fine last Thursday woke up Friday feeling rubbish and been down hill from there, just constantly tired, aching, headache and sore joints.

I didn’t think it was anything to start and when my boss said I’d be out for the week as he knows other people who have had it I thought nah no way, but here I am just as bad as Monday, downing lots of drugs and they take the edge of it a little.

I haven’t been ill like this for years as I have a very good immune system, it’s horrible.
 
I'm still coming out of it, originally got hit with it on the 27th December and for the first 3 days I couldn't do anything. The first day I was in bed for 22 hours roasting hot and with the shakes, finally coming out of it now with just a cough and cold remaining.
 
I have had like 3 in the last 2 months. Get over one and another one comes. The one before Christmas felt like my brain was too big for my head and I had just no energy. Now I just have the start of a cold, but wife is in bed, sore throat, all bunged up. Seems very much worse this year than previous.

You do realise colds and the flu affect people differently, right? And they're sometimes different than previous colds? Right?

Some people can't handle them, others can, some people can deal with the sore throat, others can't.

But yes, tell everyone to man up, because clearly they're all just wimps and you're the epitome of the Alpha Male that we all need to admire and look up to. xxx
 
I’m always buggered because I can’t take anything containing pseudoephedrine because of arrhythmia risk. Paracetamol is my lot when it comes to cold meds.

FTFY ;)

I had some form of lurgy from late September until early December, mostly a head cold, that kept improving as the week went on but then knocked me back to square-one at the end of each week. I can only guess that whatever my better half had all over Xmas was some variant of it, because I missed that one completely, only to come down with a stomach bug for a week through New Year!
