Yep started last Tuesday evening come home with sore throat which lasted three day then it went to my chest still coughing now eight days later. Half my friends have gone down with it!! very annoying as I managed not to get anything last winter!! Going to book flu jab as I got it last year and did not get any bugs.

I've been feeling queasy all day and just sort of weak.. not sick enough to be off work but spent all day at work wishing I was lying down! Still feeling it now.

I blame DS going back to school. He's walking germ warfare - doesn't get it himself just spreads the lurgy.

If it's any consolation at all mine lasted a week. Today I'm stil snuffly and with a bit of a sore throat, but head is much clearer and far less of the stuffed-with-wet-cotton-wool feeling.

Yep.
DS kicked of year 13 with the lurgy.
DD's best friend too, which is developing into ear infections and tonsillitis and a chesty cough in both cases.

Yep. Last Friday I started with a sore throat. Saturday and Sunday had no energy, wasn’t in bed but lots of lying on the sofa and afternoon naps. Throat started to get better Monday onwards, but now horrendous sinus pressure and pain. Voice is croaky too. Grr.

Yes my DD has it at the moment. Came on extremely suddenly.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, I had it last week. Nought to absolutely streaming cold in about an hour and a half, the following day it had decamped to my chest and I coughed so much I thought my head was going to come off.

I'm honestly thinking about ways to pee so I don't have to get out of bed Grin

I had an eyelash that didn't ache but that fell out so now I'm one big horizontally MNing snot-fest.
