Last time I had "real" flu was in 97 and it laid me out for a week.

You just need a strong dose of MTFU.

Caught the cold from the guys at work just before coming off for Christmas, just about got rid of it by Christmas then two days drinking has brought it back out on me

Need it to clear up before New Year now! :mad:

Was at my parents on Christmas day for lunch. Mum was really suffering, but still got the meal done, trooper that she is. I'm half expecting that she's passed it on to me. So far so good though.

4th day in bed, been out once and eaten about one full meal all together. I predict I'll be all tickety boo for work tomorrow. Not happy.

if it comes on over a few days then just a cold.

Ace Modder · 28 Dec 2015 at 12:12

I have been in bed 2 days now with it.

I wake up soaking wet like I've just jumped out the bath.
My temp was 39.6 yesterday. I'm on lozengers, and lemsip day and night tablets.

My whole body aches like hell

Bleugh, I had this about a week ago but cleared up just in time for working Christmas eve and then heading back to my parents for a flu-free break

If it makes you feel any better OP, I've got, among many others, a Yellow Fever vaccine this Wednesday, which makes you feel like death! New Years could be fun!

pooley · 28 Dec 2015 at 12:46
