At the beginning of this week, I was feeling a bit under the weather. It turned into a mild cold. I didn't think too much of it, went to work as usual, etc. Yesterday mid morning, I thought it had pretty much gone. Nose was all dried up, felt a little more clear headed and alert.
Yesterday afternoon, however, I started feeling really grotty, nose was running more than ever. Finished my shift, went home, brief bath (the steam really helped) then went off to curl up and die in bed.
This morning, had to literally drag myself out of bed for work. Got there, and somehow managed to get through the day.
Tonight, my nose is burning, eyes burning, aching all over my arms and legs, weak, dizzy... meh! I've just realised I've not eaten properly since feeling like this, so just done 3 peices of beans on toast with grated cheese, and am slowly forcing it in.
Dosed up on lemsip max and ibuprofen, also taking vit c and zinc supplements.
I'm at that stage whereby I'm (just) still up and about, and not really unwell enough to be confined to bed, yet feel to cack to do anything other than sit and feel sorry for myself
Tempted to open something a little stronger than a pepsi... alcohol always really helps.. but you suffer twice as much next morning, when you've got a bad cold AND a hangover ;D :-\
How do you deal with your colds?

I just ignore them. Colds are for lasses. ;D

Of course, if it turns into man flu, you'll probably die. :(

Indeed. I fear it is time for me to start making my will :(

Alcohol is the remedy mate. Your mistake is that you assume you will have a hangover in the morning. Don't stop drinking, you never sober up, thus no hangover! :y

Why wasn't it a good idea?
Ah. 11am. Not the night shift.

You know when they say you should rest when you have a cold? It's to prevent other bugs getting in to your system.
You have another bug different to the one you had first.
That said when I am ill I drink hot water with half a lemon squeezed in to it every moning, avoid running especially in the cold, eat more fruit and drink hot toddies at night.
If I feel one coming on I use that Vicks First Defense, I find it pretty effective.

I too have been struck down by Manflu! :(
Yesterday evening I got the shivers which got worse and worse despite having several layers on and the heating cranked up! So I went and had a hot bath and then got the sweats!! It was pouring out of me! :o A couple of hours later the aches and pains started and that's when I realised it was Manflu. ::) I went to bed at about midnight and woke up at 3.00pm this afternoon!!! :o
Do you think I've got any sympathy from anyone?? ::)
-
A home poured measure or two of Whisky in with your hot lemon, not sure it works on the flu, but it helps me to sleep / chill a bit.............. :y :y
