Anyone else still sick after 2 weeks?

I came down with a cold a couple of weeks ago. Initially a sore throat and fever, then I felt a bit better for a day but then the following day had lost my voice, had blocked sinuses and generally felt rubbish. I have a fever that seems to come and go a bit sometimes I'm feeling ok and others I feel really unwell and feverish and at those times I do have a temperature. I have also developed a bit of a cough now and my voice is still not back.

I have so much to do for Christmas and am trying to get bits done but am easily exhausted. I went to the shops yesterday after putting it off for the past 2 weeks, masked up and today I could hardly move and my joints are aching.

I feel like I should be better by now but I just seem to be the same. I can't really afford anymore time off and DH is getting a bit frustrated that I'm still not over it which I can understand as I'd probably feel the same.

Is anyone else finding this still lingering on and on? Not sure if I should go to the GP as I don't think I have a bacterial infection so I don't need antibiotics.

I was ill for a least a month but was feeling better by new year. Seem to be coming down with another bug now! Hope you're feeling better by now!
