Pretty sure I have flu. Came on very suddenly yesterday - out of nowhere I had an upset stomach, a mild fever, raging headache and a terrible sore throat. No coughing or sneezing (yet). My entire body is extremely painful, but then I already have ME and Fibro, so that’s not unusual, but it is definitely much worse than normal. This morning there’s all manner is disgusting gunk in my sinuses too. I feel like death warmed up, basically.
It is my twins’ 2nd birthday on Sunday. Was planning a relaxed get together here for a bunch of twins. Obviously if I’m sick I’m going to have to cancel that, don’t want to get others sick.
I’m so worried about the boys getting sick (one has an existing illness that’s exacerbated by even mild bugs so I know flu could be a disaster), let alone them having flu for their birthday.
Is there anything I can do to stop them getting it? Currently using alcohol hand gel on my hands after blowing my nose, not kissing them etc. I’m not coughing or sneezing yet so hopefully I shouldn’t be spreading it too far?
We went to bloody soft play last weekend so I am sure it came from there - we had stopped going as we always get sick afterwards! If I’ve caughg it from there, they probably have too, right? Ugh.
