Day 4 in bed with flu, when will I start to feel better?

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Only change today is Ive stopped shivering.

Em, the day after tomorrow probably. It's miserable.

I had it started to feel a bit better day 6 it is a dragger unfortunately I still have a cough after 2 weeks,

So annoying! It's wiped me out, today still cant get out of bed hoping tom I might try and get up and sit on the sofa but feel sooo yuk.

See what day 5 brings.

Three weeks for me and I still don't feel right, good luck!

Oh bugger....going to London next Friday for 2 days. Am hoping Im better 😵‍💫
Everythings booked, paid for!

Hopefully you are ok for your trip rest up as much as you can,

Proper flu typically lasts a week or so but it can take longer to fully recover.

A lot of people think they've had flu when it's just a heavy cold. Flu does take a while unfortunately.

Def more than a cold. Also felt very sick with it

Yes I was assuming yours was flu. I just have a bee in my bonnet generally about it as so many people have never had it and don't realise how awful it is.

I'm at week 4 today and I'm still not well. I've done covid tests and all negative so I'm assuming it's flu. I have had everything: sickness, diarrhoea, sore throat, awful cough, temp blocked ears and conjunctivitis. As soon as one symptom subsides, another flares back up. We might not have the same virus though.

Bless you. Yes Ive got it all...no diarrhea though. Even the raspy voice they reckon the new covid variant is presenting. Did a test today but negative.

Pushed myself to move about abit today as being in bed is really painful on my back but feel dreadful tonight, didn5 sleep this afternoon so tom Im staying put not moving unless for the toilet.

Day 5
Feel abit better. Eaten a good brekkie. Cough now kicking in!

Sounds like Covid tbh- I’ve always felt really sick when I’ve had vivid and it is rife atm

And I have a bee in my bonnet about people stating that you can’t get out of bed if it’s “real flu”, when flu can be mild, moderate, severe or asymptomatic.

Now obviously you don’t know for definite if you have flu unless you’ve been tested for it but being able to walk around does not mean that it can’t be flu.

I hope that you feel better soon, OP.

Did covid test yesterday...negative
