Well if there is then I've got it ... I'm also feeling a bit sick, but no other symptoms.

Yup. It's called "children-itis". I've had it for a couple of years now. It lasts for about 18 years I believe.

the low light levels don't help - a good dose of bright sunshine would improve things.

I had this for a while, lots of sleep, waking up tired, and last night I became properly ill and am lounging on the sofa feeling fluey. I'm hoping this is it, and the tired thing will go away.

We are all like it here. Also now have nasty colds and feeling sick/dizzy/knackered!
Apparently its this years 'winter bug'. Nice.

purplemonkeydasheranddancer · 07/12/2006 09:53

so we have some vomiting to look forward too then? great.

Oh, no, sorry, when I say "sick", I just mean ill, not throwing up. North American usage.

We do all seem to have a bit of a tummy bug too (yummy!) but I think it's a different thing, as others in the house have the tummy bug, but I'm the only one who's ill. (does ill mean vomiting too?)
