Anyone else had this cold thing?

MissMuppet · Anyone else had this cold thing?

I feel like death warmed up today... off to the doctors for 5 but I feel as though I'm going to be sick any minute! q20

Been ill since Friday last week and just feeling worse each day, have been taking loads of meds but nothing is touching it now... q47

I had something similair months ago-think it was the sickness which was the worst!Don't want to make you groan, but it seemed to drag on for ages-about 10 days before it started to clear. The pharmacist said it was a "virus" (hate that word), and so consequently I had to grin and bear it. Surprisingly, Brian got it too-and he never gets ill. Hope you feel better soon. q13

MissMuppet

Well just got back from the doctors, he had one look at my throat and diagnosed tonsilitis... have some pennicillin (sp?) to take so hopefully I'll start to feel better soon.

That's good-that it's not a virus, not that it's tonsillitis!Hopefully the antibiotics will soon kick in and you'll start to feel better. Have a hug in the meantime... q17

MissMuppet

Thanks... Daniel's coming over tomorrow so hopefully I'll get a real life hug! Although hoping I haven't given him the lurgy too...

Been feeling under the weather for a few weeks - doctor diagnosed a viral infection and plenty of rest. She said it was a flu like virus but it doesn't feel like the flu at all. I have a thick head and my sinus's are blocked and I can't hear hardly anything, also have a hacking cough that any smoker would be proud of!

Well, I have rested all day and now think I am going to be up all night, going to make myself a hot drink in a minute and wonder to bed with that and my book.

MissMuppet

Sorry you're feeling sick again Lisa, maybe we're just all working too hard and should be resting more...

I feel a bit better today although I still feel a bit bunged up and my throats a bit sore!

Okay you lot, listen up. Removing stress from your lives is a good way to let your immune system remain strong enough to fight of the bugs.

Write a list of all the things that are causing stress, and then, looking objectively, what would happen if you removed one or two of them.

Oops, sorry, wrong forum

MissMuppet

I better leave work then... that's the only stress I have in my life!!

Nannyp

You know I don't mean that

But there may be elements at work, that if addressed with your boss, may become less stressful q12

MissMuppet

Yeah not having any students calling me up! I don't think that's gonna happen...

Jo-could it also be a delayed reaction to the amount of changes in your life over the past few months? In some respects, now that you're beginning to relax and enjoy life, your body realises that it's exhausted? I seem to be saying almost the opposite to you Kathy, but it seems as if the worst of Jo's stresses are actually behind her. She's moved on so well, and achieved a vast amount in a small space of time, that it's not surprising that illness creeps in?

Nannyp

You're right Elaine, it is probably that. As aprat from the stresses at work, all other things do seem to be going well.

Got back from holiday last Sunday night all fine and dandy, got up Monday morning full of cold and a cough. managed to work through it though and feel alot better today.

MissMuppet

Well I was feeling better yesterday then something to do with either the antibiotics or something I'd eaten ruined my evening... Am off work again today and I have the worse cough in the world, I sound like I smoke 50 a day! q10

Glad you had a good holiday Dave, shame you came back to be ill!
