Holiday Nightmare!

That's classy 💐

I’ve literally been so ill I’ve had to crawl down stairs, I’d rather be in the lounge getting fresh air than cooped up in a bedroom,
if in a hotel, the aircon isn’t going to be doing anyone any good, so it’s better to be outside

Best hope you don’t get this new strain of Covid.

Yesi would be outside at home!
yes I’ve been so ill I’ve literally felt like staying in bed but I didn’t as I’d rather be up and about sitting with my doors open getting fresh air

I am so baffled by this thread. As an adult it’s rare that my temp has ever gone much beyond 38.5 but on the few occasions it has I’ve been absolutely wiped, feeling terrible and would not be up for a bit of pool time.

I’ve always seen a difference in my children when they’ve got a low fever (quite often still able to play) and anything beyond 39 when they are properly ill and struggling to do anything.

I was low level ill on my recent holiday but really was just a bit run down. That was fine to still crack on as normal. The OP is clearly ill and I’m sure if she didn’t feel rubbish would be out.

I am as stoic as they come. I have not called in sick for 28 years. My kids didn’t take a day off at secondary school. We are a family who ‘gets on’ with stuff.

I am also a doctor and know that as temperatures reach 38/39C, there can be intense fatigue and body pain. Most people with genuine flu for example will barely be able to crawl to the toilet due to myalgia and fatigue.

Your idea that some fresh air and a dip in the pool is possible, or even therapeutic for everyone is misplaced. Are you perhaps getting confused and thinking about a minor cold? Sometimes the body is telling you that you need to rest in bed. And it’s vital to do that to ensure prompt recovery.

This is a bit mean

Because she wanted to know why she felt so unwell possibly??

Hey op I want to apologise for my post earlier , it was nasty and unkind of me . I had a terrible day and got some bad news and took it out on you . I really am sorry and I hope you start to feel better soon 💐

OP how are you doing? I hope you got to sleep and DH is nice to you tomorrow. X

Would you be outside at home too? or just on holiday?

Have you ever been so ill that you’ve been bed bound?

Why are people saying take paracetamol go asit by the pool and basically get on with it? When I had covid the first time I felt absolutely awful I was vomiting with a fever 39, ached in every part of my body. I slept all day and had to crawl to the toilet when I needed to pee. I could not even look at my phone felt like I was dying. Clearly some people haven’t been really unwell before.

Christ, my vagina would have sealed itself shut for life over the ick of him texting his mummy to moan about how hard his life is. Absolutely pathetic. Is he that incapable of entertaining himself for a few days? My teenagers would manage that and wouldn't moan either.

That was meant to quote @IWishIWasABaller

The only thing I could do when I had covid was either stagger to the bathroom, or to the kitchen to make a hot lemon then crawl back into bed and sleep constantly. I barely ate or drank anything for a week. I just couldn't stomach it. No way would I have wanted to go lie on a sunbed in the heat or float around in the sea. If I was poorly on holiday my OH wouldn't be moaning at me. He would be making sure I had plenty of fluids, bring me food if I wanted it and would let me rest until I felt better. He certainly wouldn't be whinging that he had to go sit round the pool or go to the beach or for a walk by himself, and like wise I would do the same for him.

Yes I would be outside!
No one will catch it if you don’t get too close to them!

You are pretty thoughtless. Proper Covid is like really awful flu. Every joint aches, you feel hot and cold in turns. You feel sick, sore throat, can't eat and you are a danger to other people.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery OP. I'm sorry your holiday has been so rubbish and that your husband is being such a selfish, uncaring arse. I really hope this is very out of character for him, otherwise agree with others who've suggested you have a think whether this relationship is really worth staying in. Being treated badly by someone who is supposed to love and care for you is so soul destroying. Good luck!

Fucking hell, these idiots telling you crack on with the holiday! I hope they remember their own advice when they get flu.

I think the problem is you have different illness styles, and I really believe these are more of a 'thing' than love languages etc. My ex-husband was always very attentive if I was ill, but I couldn't cope with it. When I'm even the slightest bit ill, I like to be alone and just sweat it out. Give me a jug of water in the morning and then leave me the hell alone!

Whereas he would always want me around and tending to him when he was ill, and while I did it, it truly amazed me - why would you want someone hanging about when you are poorly?

We both adapted to eachother's style, but I don't think we ever understood eachother's illness style really.

I'm sat here, with Covid but should be on my holiday today. Was hoping to go Monday, for a shorter trip but I don't feel much better 3 days in. It's a Pennine walking holiday too.

Last couple of time I have had it it's taken weeks before I get back to normal. Who gets Covid in the bloody summer??

You have my sympathy, my dh is cheesed off we may have to cancel but understands. I feel better positioned in that I would rather feel like this here instead of ON holiday.

No words of wisdom but lots of sympathy. I really hope you feel better soon.

These posts are so stupid; they can only be written by people who have never actually been ill.

I also originally thought this was a new relationship. He sounds so unkind, is this a new thing or have you just not really noticed before because you bumbled along without any major crisis?
I hope you're feeling better very soon, but i think you may want to reconsider this relationship once you're recovered and back home.

If you’re that unwell I really think you should contact your travel insurance provider and try and return home early and recover and then use the insurance money to try and rebook for another time. No one is having a good time in this situation are they?
