To feel this terrible when I've only got a cold.

[queenceleste]

I've had the worst cold I've had for years for four days.
My nose is a Tap.
I have a really painful cough.
I have NO energy.
I have evening meal to cook, the house is wrecked, bags to unpack and I'm shattered. Am going to take a lemsip to see if that helps.
But worse i feel so depressed, shockingly miserable. I feel like sobbing on the table... and I've only got a bad cold?
Can a cold BE this bad?
Have I somehow caught manflu?
Is this what they are suffering from because if so, I totally, totally understand.

oh dear double thread post, sorry!

Get a takeaway ,and slob on the sofa until you feel better

thank you! I'm nearly in bed!

Of course YANBU

Some colds can be horrendous. I had to call in sick with one once as I woke up at 3am with a raging temperature and the shakes.

But A1980, that sounds like a bug, I mean I don't even have a temp!
But have taken more lemsip and have stopped sobbing on the kitchen table like a wuss!
am going to bed now, will gargle with tcp.

thanks!

Totally sympathise. I don't often get colds but when I do get them I get them BAD. I mean really, really awful. It's horrible x

Thanks so much I'm going to bed now, can't wait.

I don't know it was short lived. It was gone in a few hours and then it was just coldy stuff.

Other than that ordinary colds can make you feel like shite. Headaches, sore throat, cough etc. Not good.
