I'm sick as a dog, have been for the last 5 days. Now can't taste food and threw up a few times and my midsection is so sore every cough feels like impending death

Yeah ill, thought it was the sniffles but keep on having red saliva (bloody) - definitely not from open wound or mouth ulcer, doc doesn't know what it is.

Seem fine most of the time but when it happens I feel physically drained and without energy. Also light cough and something on throat. Nose seems blocked too.

No idea until the docs reopen after the new year.

I have always had the flu on christmas day, but this year I have been lucky !!!!! Long may that continue.

I actually haven't been ill for ages now, can't remember the last time i even had a cold, however....

I was fine 2 hours ago but my right ear just started ringing uncontrollably and i can hear pressure building up, it has driven me mad! (i'm at work

)

Hopefully i can just get my ears syringed and it will be fine, i don't like the idea of tinnitus! The ear has been blocked for about a week, probably due to my using earplugs, so it is almost certainly the cause.

Top wisdom teeth came through painless, this bottom one has been a right pain, literally. Completely screwing up my jaw so that will have to come out early new year, but for now the whole side is sore

Have had a cold all week, it's on its way out now though so I thought I'd be fine for Christmas day.

Then about 6pm yesterday evening my stomach started to feel a little funny and got worse and worse as the evening progressed. Have been up all night throwing up and am feeling pretty horrible right now.
The worst bit is I'm probably not going to feel like any Christmas dinner later

I'm ill however I feel it might be self inflicted

Kmodo · 25 Dec 2011 at 09:04

I have a sore throat, a tickly cough and everytime I swallow my right ear really hurts

Craig1981 · 25 Dec 2011 at 09:06

A very very minor cold. Just consists of a sniffly nose, a bit of a dry throat and the occasional cough. Barely worth commenting on though.

I've been deaf in my left ear for a week, I've a small hangover from the bottle of doublewood the wife got me last night.

Woke up in a blaze of arthritis pain. Took half the day to pacify it with painkillers and anti-inflammatories.

Aleksandrs · 25 Dec 2011 at 09:22

Was fine all december, but have had a cold since the 23rd! Runny nose, numb face and a sore throat. Everything tastes funny too

Got a bit of a cold brewing thanks to the people in the office who have been coming in coughing and sneezing over everyone for the past fortnight - thanks for that !

I shall be self-medicating with copious amounts of alcohol to make myself better.
