Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[Tiplodocus]

I encuntered similar flu reactions so I took to saying to people that I had 'discovered that previously, i have only ever had heavy colds because I now know what flu really is. and you can understand how it kills old people.'  That seems to elicit the desired sympathetic response.

Satanist, I feel your pain.  I used the ignore function when that happened on a forum i frequent when the wife thinks i'm just taking a very long dump.

Cool typo.

I have just come back top work after 3 days off due to a heavy cold and it completely totalled last weekend. I had a cough for a month beforehand so I am calling it my backwards cold. I still feel crappy but slightly better and I have every sympathy for anyone who is currently suffering from this variant. It is shit.

And worse. I am a day late picking up my 2000AD because I couldn't get out yesterday for feeling too wobbly. ARHGHGHGHH!

[Spikes]

Pretty much everyone i know has had a dose of this bugger. Still got the cough as well, three weeks after the cold finally cleared up.

Yep, though I'm over the worst of it now, I still feel absolutely wretched in the mornings, and still have a nasty cough over ten days after getting ill.

[Gonk]

Ditto.

Sharing a bed with one of the Infected, I knew it was only a matter of time before I too became a shambling moaning thing trailing vital fluids hacking my way through the night.

This really is a stinker of a cold - I've made serious inroads into the world's supplies of paracetemol, caffeine, ginger, orange and honey with no obvious result. The missus is still feebly coughing after two weeks, and I'm only a few days into the meat of it... not looking forward to the remainder.   Why are children so infernally loud and energetic?

My only comfort is that she's also apparently given it to her shite of a boss... although now I think of it that's not entirely a comfort...

Always an excuse for whiskey! Or something stronger if your lucky enough to have it.

[von Boom]

Hot tea. Lemon. Honey. Shot of vodka. Stir, drink, and off to bed with any of you feeling ill. Repeat until well.

Not a drop left in the house. -shakes head sadly at the state of the world-

[Roger Godpleton]

There are at least three bottles in my house.

Oh there's plenty of bottles here too.

Just when does phlegm and mucous count as vital fluids Tordle? You've either been bleeding all round the house or dribbling out the "other" vital fluids.

Say what you will Krom, I'd be lost without 'em!  Mind you, I seem to have plenty of both at the moment. -hauk- gagg- splutter

Quick dash to the bathroom mirror to check the capillaries in my eyes...
