Anyone else poorly right now?

[DerRosenkavelier]

I am so pissed off. I have a horrible cold, just managed to get through the Christmas party on Friday drugged up to the eyeballs, hacking strange things up, not sleeping.

Supposed to be going to a concert tonight, have to pick up turkey tomorrow, Ocado has run out of bread so have to go to supermarket tomorrow as well. (First world problem, I know!)

I had just got over the flu, and now I have to get through Christmas with a stinky cold.

Please tell me that I’m not the only one!

Yes, I am. And I definitely won't be better by Christmas!

You have my sympathy!

Yes I am too, I have to get a tooth out after Christmas , I am on anti biotics and cannot drink on them , feel nauseous and no appetite. I am going through the motions feeling crap!
Sorry you both feel unwell too... It's miserable !

Me. Vomiting bug 😢plus cluster feeding newborn. I hope you all feel better soon.

Just woke up with the worst cold/cough today after bragging about not having one all winter yet yesterday! Karma!

Me! Cold/viral thing and feeling absolutely drained...plus both kids also have it (with a bit of vomiting too). Really hoping we’re better for Christmas Day!!

Me too... snotty cold, coughing so much retching and wetting myself. Have it every winter but wish it would do one as I'm exhausted.

Me too, I have a chesty cough and a sore shoulder/neck

Misery loves company! I’m sorry that you all are feeling poorly too.

I have had a bit of a stressful and busy time and was really looking forward to Christmas but it looks like no drinking, early nights, and a lot of nurofen.

Me too, sore throat since last week. Hurts to swallow, hurts to even yawn and feel crap at night. Hope it goes by Xmas day

Yes, just a cold/viral thing but feeling like dogshit. I had a minor 24hr coldy thing at the beginning of last week and was quite smug thinking I’d got my ‘Christmas cold’ out of the way. Then went for drinks with a mate on Friday night who was fighting off the end of a nasty cold bug... which I then woke up up to the eyeballs with on Saturday (yesterday) morning. I feel disgusting.

Me, I have a miserable cold which kept me awake all night, have been feeling exhausted all day. DH has been less than helpful and I really feel like Christmas can GTF.

Yep, it's a proper snotfest here with all of us coughing in unison! Hope everyone is feeling better by Christmas Day!!

I feel unreasonably cross about being ill. I think it was because I had been working so hard, and keeping all the plates spinning, thinking that a nice Christmas would be my reward.

The reality is that I have now been poorly for most of December. I miss running and cycling. I’m putting in weight, Inteally wanted to be able to go for a nice long walk with the family this festive period but it looks like I’ll be lying on the sofa, coughing in a pathetic fashion.

Yep, I'm cold down to my bones, I just can't get warm, snotty and coughing. Started early hours of this morning. Very lazy day today but have an excitable 5 year old who we are taking bowling tomorrow. My head is pounding just thinking about it.

I'm literally never ill ffs

Yes currently in bed. 😩

Yup! Felt like a bag of shit for most of the week. Tonsils up etc. Woke up today with the worst toothache which seems to be sinus related. Dosed up on Sudafed and an early night here!

I've got pneumonia. It's at "walking" stage now, thankfully, and I'm trying my best to get well enough to enjoy any of Christmas and be fit enough to go to DPs parents (who are lovely; and I do want to go!)

He's looked after me well; bless him, but the timing of being ill sucks and my to do list isn't getting any shorter...

I`m feeling better today,yesterday it felt like my liver was trying to escape from my body,i drink a big bottle of wine

Sympathies to everybody. Me too. I have bronchitis. Had antibiotics and inhaler for five days now and still feeling so rotten. My ribs are agony from hacking cough.

I've got ongoing tieze syndrome (inflammation of the tissue between the ribs) and have had it since June. It's incredibly painful as in making you think it's a heart attack, and last week I caught a horrendous snotty horrid cold that all the coughing has really irritated. I'm up to the eyeballs on painkillers and a cocktail of meds from my GP, and last night I coughed as I stood up off the sofa and I've now pulled a muscle in my stomach which is utter agony. I actually could sit and cry tonight and I've got so much to do still

I'm on day 12 of a bad cold and there's no sign of it letting up. It's now gone into my sinuses. I feel like I've spent close to two weeks moaning and complaining about feeling ill but it's been a long time since I've had such a bad cold.

Sinusitis plus a flare of psoriatic arthritis.

My head looks like a deflated beach ball and all my teeth ache.

Yep. DD (19m) and I are getting over flu. We're on day 4 and 3 respectively and although we're definitely over the worst we're both in a bit of a state. I can't see us being better for Christmas and I'm really worried my parents might have caught it.

I hope that everyone on this thread who is unwell manages to pick up a bit for Christmas.

I’m all sweaty and my chest is killing me - I think I have the start of a chest infection. Had an operation last week and was just starting to feel better from that 😡
