On Tuesday and Wednesday I felt a bit ropey with a banging head and sore throat. On Thursday morning though I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a truck.
Everything aches, especially my back and legs. I've got a high temp (around 38.5) and I'm really shivery. I've got a cough and I'm bringing up yellow/green phlegm. I'm absolutely exhausted.
I'm not totally debilitated though. I'm still able to potter round a little bit and wrapped some presents today. I keep reading that flu absolutely zaps you to the point that you can't get out of bed, and apart from Thursday afternoon I've been able to get up.
I'm feeling so sorry for myself! Does this sound like flu and how long does it bloody well last?!
