I have really bad flu, it is sitting on my chest and making me feel terrible  I hate having flu, but it's even worse having it out here because you feel like you want to wrap up warm with lots of snug clothes and a blanket and a hot water bottle, but it's boiling hot outside!!! Urgh

| I would start on the whiskey, but I also seem to have some sort of stomach bug at the same time and it's not liking alcohol! :( |

Oh poor you
I managed to get through Christmas without anything but am now suffering from a bad cold. Not flu luckily! But it's not nice. I'm looking forward to a week off next week, that'll cheer me up.
Hope you soon feel better Evie. Hugs X Sue.  |

| Thanks - I went to see the doctor today as I felt even worse and couldn't make it into work. He said that this really bad flu is going round, I have a chest infection, throat infection and conjuctivitus!!! I got about six different types of medicine - what a great start to the year - I dont think!!! |

I managed to go 10 months without a cold which is a miracle seeing as im a home care assistant ,i have a flu jab every year because colds/flu go straight to my chest !Over Xmas loads of my clients were ill & a week ago i started feeling like i was going to get a cold, sore throat & sneezing, but its not just a cold, i ache ,im wheezing i have a terrible cough & yesterday morning my cup of tea tasted like washing up water ( always a bad sign)
So haven`t been able to work this week , it must be a strain of flu that the vaccination doesn`t cover ! |

| ok so I'm getting very annoyed now as my flu is still bad :( I've spent most of the weekend doing nothing and my cough just seems to be getting worse and now my right ear is completely blocked as well - I just want it to go away as I'm going on vacation in less than two weeks and I really don't want to be ill then, especially as I am going to Canada and it's going to be very cold!!! |

Well believe it or not my flu still seems to be hanging around!, I don't feel as bad as I did and have been managing to go to work (got so much to do before I go on holiday on Friday that I couldn't take any time off anyway!!!), but the nasty cough I have refuses to get any better. I've tried three different lots of cough medicine here and nothing seems to work.
I remember when I was in the UK and I had bad coughs I would always take Galloways cough syrup and it ALWAYS got rid of nasty dry tickly coughs which is what I have now - unfortunately they don't sell that here :-( |
