Hate feeling rubbish like this. I'm just drinking loads, taking painkillers, honey & lemon, you know the usual things.

Women will never understand it.
Hang in there Bro!
I haven't had a proper cold since the mid/late 1980's.
I haven't ever had flu.
I got chicken pox for the first time around about 1998, I was 34. It was no big deal really, apart from the itching. I actually went into work, not knowing what I had, only to be promptly sent home.
I've had food poisoning about 3 three times in my life, but nothing serious enough to need to go to hospital.
I get my strong immune system from my mother, as when she had 'a cold' it was barely noticeable. My dad on the other hand, gets seriously unwell when he gets a cold.
You have no idea how I suffer.
Hopefully your throat will start to feel better in a few days. If it takes longer to ease it might worth going to the GP as it may need treated with an antibiotic if it's caused by a bacterial infection. Hopefully it's viral and you should be feeling rightly soon. Rest and fluids. Paracetamol for pain and fever. Sofa, jammies, DVD boxsets would all be on my agenda.
Know the feeling when it comes to being in danger of OD'ing on Painkillers. I had blocked Ears at the start, now onto a killer Cough, Sinuses' that are blocked with lots of crap and the sorest Throat ever. Will I ever be well again?
What a depressing but reassuring thread.😆 Get well soon all!
Hope not as I'd just like to add I've got the sniffles coming on, headachey all yesterday
Whistling ear too, not tinnitus, more whooshing sound like a heartbeat.
Taking ages to shift this one. Everyone I know has had something similar this time, and oddly enough, it's hinged round a sudden ear problem - blocked ear or ears, sore ear. And then I got it and I never have ear problems.
Hope that isn't infectious
If you've had chicken pox more than once your immune system is not that strong.
I think the poster just meant she had not had it as a child
I have the Standard Craven Haven bequest form ready for you.
Paracetamol/lemsips can cause a rash if you have been taking a lot for your cold
Really? I drank a fair bit of lemsip.
I hope lemsip works for me - my genitals fell off the other day.
It is all rather worrying.
Whatever - slapdash grammar.
I think it recurs as shingles.
Been loads of colds and coughs around this Autumn and early Winter. Had a bit of a one myself.
Yeah I always get the rash when I've been on the lemsips, it will fade on its own (unless you've got something more serious
As long as it stays away from my chest, I can still run if it's above the neck.
