Winters here & feeling ill

[Catwoman63]

Anyone else had this terrible cold thingy going around?

I've had it a week now had 3 days off work last week confined to bed, and now its gone to my lungs, can't even walk very far without feeling like I cannot breath in my lungs, on antibiotics and due back to work tomorrow as don't get paid when off sick as I'm a temp! I still feel very ill and up all night cough, cough, bloody cough, can't talk or laugh without coughing, can't even do the housework as so short of breath

Sorry had to have a moan about winter illnesses x

Poor you Bev. That sounds horrid. Take it easy and look after yourself.
I've got blocked sinuses and will no doubt have them blocked all winter long like last year. Nothing helps and I sound awfully nasal. Ah well....there's worse to be complaining about.
Wishing everyone who's under the weather a speedy recovery. x

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, Its horrible I had the flu jab this year about 3 weeks ago, I know it's a different virus but I feel what a bloody waste of time that was!

it's been very hard to bend down in the tort sheds as it was near to their hibernation, my lungs hurt, I didn't take as great a care with the torts in their last 2 days of windown as I was so ill, just hope they are ok x

Bev, have you had your doctor check it's not pleurisy? x

Emma, the gp said if there is no improvement after the 7 day antibiotic course then go straight back there, ......I've not drank a glass of red wine since last Sunday now that's serious lol x

Oh we can't be having that Bev! I really hope you soon feel better and there's no need to go back to see the GP. Fingers crossed you can enjoy more than a few drinks over the coming weeks. x
