Has anyone got this sinus/throat bug thing?!

[JhustJenny]

I feel like crap, could sleep on demand and am very grumpy with it!

Yes, DS has it last week, and has come down with a post viral rash, I have it and DD came home from school today and is in bed,

We do! I had a sore throat for a week before it developed into full blown snot streaming. DD is thick with it too now, waking up spluttering and snotty. And she has a rash on her face now from all the wiping and moisture. It's rubbish!

Ugh great Moustache, this must only be the start of it (and its being going on for a week!!). 🤢

Me- five days now inc three off work in bed, the worst I’ve felt for years (and I have chronic conditions). I’ve I’d been in contact with someone recently back from China I’d seriously be wondering. Colleague reckons hers lasted three weeks.

Yes had mine two weeks. Scratchy throat first and now a full sinus cold, blocked ears etc. I got it from a small child sneezing on me.

That all sounds rotten everyone 😷 plenty more to look forward to then?!

Well it’s very unlikely to be the same illness unless you all coincidentally live very close to each other...........

I have had a awful bacterial throat infection and am on my second lot of antibiotics for it. Had raging temp and Racing heart rate. Had three days off work but then probably went back too early and now I'm off again. Honestly never felt so ill before. Also have horrible cough and very snotty, and lost my voice. It's awful!!

Yes me too. Not usually one to get I’ll, normally suffer very little with coughs, colds etc but this has knocked me for six. Head, ear and neck pain, like real awful pain. So tired all the time. I’m on antibiotics but it’s not shifting so far. This is my third week of having the sinus infection and I’ve been ill with a cold for almost three months now 😭 I just want it gone.

Yeah. I'm in bed early with it now. Ugh

Just coming out of it now, and it was a nasty one.

Me too. Had it two weeks ago, thought I was getting better but feeling shivery again tonight. Annoyingly my actual feverish days have all coincided with my days off work (I’m PT), so I haven’t actually been able to justify any time off.

Coughed so hard on the way into work today I threw up twice, wearing pads for stress incontinence (which I do not usually have, but apparently lying on the floor in a fit of coughing and retching for ten minutes will strain even the strongest pelvic floor). And now my intercostal muscles really hurt too.

Also very sick of all the corona virus jokes.

Urghh, yes! Thought it was early tree bud "hay-fever" starting until the scratchy throat turned up. Have blown my nose to the point of bleeds. Head is pounding and full of cotton wool. But, don't feel generally "full of cold". Drinking lots of lemon and ginger tea, just for something hot.

Me as well. Sudafed sinus spray is very effective ime.

Everyone sounds pretty affected with it! I’ve been tired since last week, my head hurts, my throat hurts and has white spots, i can only stomach sweet things or fruit, my heart keeps pounding, my chest is tight, my face hurts and I’m bringing up (not coughing) brown phlegm 🤢

I had a bit of a sore throat on one side on Sunday night. By Monday evening I felt dreadful with an awful crushing headache so went to bed at 6p.m. when dh came home. Woke in the night with back pain and a fever struck up like someone had ignited the engine. My head felt like it was in a vice, my back hurt, my neck hurt and I vomited. Luckily it died down by Tuesday evening but I've felt shit since - lethargic and weak and feeling nauseous if I try to eat anything.

Yup, sore throat with dry tickly bits, snotty nose, headaches and a weird sunburn like rash on my cheeks. Joy.

fleur slapcheek?

Where are you all, roughly? I think I have the same thing- sore throat for a few days, sneezing, runny nose but completely clogged ears and sinuses. Soooooo exhausted but can’t sleep, teeth aching, skull aching, dizzy. Eugh!

I've had a sinus cold for about a month and a half. It calms down and I think it's nearly gone and then I wake up with a sore throat and it goes on and on. Going to try and see a GP as I think it's probably more than a cold since it's been going on for so long.

I'm south west and am near the end f this I hope!
I've had sorted throat nearly 2 weeks now. Then sinuses got blocked and painful, headaches cough. Ew rubbish. Tho now it's just tickly cough and pressure in sinuses so I'm hoping I wake up feeling well tomorrow 🤞

Me. So poorly with it, been off since Monday. It came on REALLY suddenly Mon morning coughing, streaming eyes and nose and full body aches. Now sinus and headache pain since.

I have never had a cold as bad as this. DH has never seen me like it either and we have been together 6 years.

I have all of the over counter stuff. Def been taking far more than the rec dosage and still doesn't touch any of my symptoms. Awful!

Most people I know are ill in some way. All of my family have this, but we haven't seen each other.

Am in East Mids

I have similar and also a 9 week old ebf baby so no chance of sleeping it off :( trying desperately not to pass it on, or to wake her in the night when she is sleepy feeding and a coughing fit strikes

Dh had it for two weeks over Christmas and dsis just after Christmas for two weeks. It was shot for them. So tired all the time.

Wish you better xx

Coming down with it I think. Just in time for half term and a little break in Spain!
