Anyone else feeling sorry for themselves? <whine alert>

Anyone else with a horrible cold? My hearing has gone loopy (loud surroundings, quiet voice and vice versa), constant sneezing, constant sniffing with apparent lack of ability to blow nose, coughing because of the sniffing, general exhaustion, permanent headache and dizziness every time I stand up (to the point that I ended up throwing up yesterday morning).

Please regale me with your whines so I know I'm not alone! We can unite in our coldiness. And the weather doesn't help either...

I have a cold but it’s not as bad as yours. Mine is mostly just a blocked nose. Colds always affect my eyes too, so sometimes my eye just starts watering. Mine started on Tuesday with a postnasal drip, then kicked in properly the next day. Also sneezing, but not all the time.

Fortunately DH is here looking after us but blergh.

Not feeling at all well

I had it for 3 weeks, almost better now. It's been really tricky. I had the horrible uncontrollable shivers and the kids freaked out. Meanwhile I was jittering under 3 duvets saying "It's just a virus, it's fine".

Hope you get well soon.

It’s my birthday and the kids have been monsters. I’m knackered and so overwhelmed I’m feeling v sorry for myself. I’m hiding in the bedroom whilst DH deals with the wailing terrors downstairs. Roll on tomorrow!!

My appetite has also gone (eaten a few Kettle chips, a Magnum and half a pizza today, didn't eat until gone 3pm yesterday) so I've been desperately trawling through YouTube food channels and saving recipes trying to stir up an appetite!

My memory is also very bad - keep forgetting what I want to type, what has happened over the past couple of days and mixing up letters! Why won't my brain co-operate with me?!

AND I have thrush but all 4 of the nearest pharmacies closed at lunchtime. Angry

CantankerousCamel · 22/09/2018 17:56

Happy birthday butterfly I would be cancelling it till my wings were spread again if I were you!!

StoorieHoose · 22/09/2018 17:56

I’m coming to the end of a cold but have given myself a doozy of a steam burn on my arm so I’m feeling very sorry for myself

yawning801 · 22/09/2018 17:58

Oh poor you Butterfly!

I might get some Molton Brown eucalyptus bubble bath and put that in a bowl of hot water in an effort to unblock my nose... do you think it will work?

Just getting over a horrendous ear infection, I haven't felt so ill in years! It is getting better but still feel wiped out (and using my residual temporary deafness as an excuse to selectively ignore stuff).

Hope everyone who is suffering gets better soon

I don't have a cold, but I've just got over the flu and now I have been hit by a sickness and diarrhoea bug.

Sorry for TMI, but the diarrhoea is the worst, little warning of when I need to go, barely making it to the loo, and it's like water

Hope everyone feels better soon ThanksThanks

yawning801 · 22/09/2018 18:03

Oh, and I'm on my period! I normally get horrendous period pain (long story) but thankfully this time it hasn't been too bad. I got awful diarrhoea last month so I've been praying to avoid a repeat of that!

CantankerousCamel · 22/09/2018 18:04

I’m on my period too :( started today

ButterflyWitch · 22/09/2018 18:04

yawning a Molton Brown bath sounds amazing! Do it immediately!!

Hope everyone’s respective passages are feeling better soon Grin
