Please help me get well for tomorrow!

[Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav]

Been feeling really crap for the last 2 days, got home from work yesterday and slepf for 2 hours. Had to go out for a couple of hours which was painful, was back in bed by 8, asleep not much after. Dragged myself to work this morning and was sent home as we are short staffed tomorrow so they need me in. I've slept most of the day but still feel shocking.
My head feels like cold cotton wool and a bit spacey, my whole body feels like it's been hit repeatedly by a ten ton truck, manly bottom of back, chest and rib area. I've got a bit of a cough, not a bad one but it's there. I feel constantly nauseous I'm swinging from sweating to freezing.
How can I make myself well enough for work in the next few hours???

Other than fluids and plenty of rest, I don't think you can. If you're ill, you're ill. There is nothing you can do about it. Work will have to manage.

Plenty of clear fluids and rest, though unfortunately I'd be surprised if you get to go to work tomorrow.

It sounds like you are not well enough, you don’t want to infect other staff members. Ibuprofen and Paracetamol might help a bit, but it sounds like you should be in bed/on the sofa not at work!

Sorry OP:

Oh no!!!! 😥😥😥 It sounds awful I don't often get ill so this feels really bad, my husband seems to be running out of sympathy which just pisses me off coz he expects loads when he's ill.
I was sick this morning but nothing really came up as I haven't eaten for 2 days

Tell your DH that if he isn't supportive of you when he gets it you'll return the compliment...

Hope you feel better very soon!

So... I managed to drag myself out of bed into the shower and into town. Went straight to the pharmacy to get all the medication I could to get me through the day, was told I have the flu 😩 got into work and was sent straight home

I thought it sounded like flu, but I thought it might be too early for flu season. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, always been a bit odd so wouldn't surprise me if I managed to get it out of season 😂

I hope you feel better soon and your OH is looking after you.

Well I've been incredibly sick this evening and my youngest daughter and husband have been looking after me, the other two have been totally avoiding me

It terrified me when my 2 year old got flu, we ended up in hospital with them thinking he had septic arthritis. I would definitely alternate Paracetamol and Ibuprofen if I were you, and take the maximum daily dose of each. I hope it doesn’t last too long!

I think you have to plan for it being 10-14 days of bleugh and then steady recovery. It's a bugger but is what it is and you can't force the recovery.

Hope it's on the shorter and less revolting side lass, and that nobody else gets it.

Thank you I feel a disgusting sweaty mess, I can't eat without being sick and now my throat is really hurting from being sick/coughing. Just feeling sorry for myself ☹️
