To be pissed that I have another cold!

The second so far since the end of August and it is only October! I only got over the first one about 3 weeks ago. I'm also asthmatic and haven't yet had a flu jab and, on top of that, I've had lots of health issues this year resulting from a car crash and I had just started to feel human again, and get through the working day without feeling like shit. And now this. I'm hacked off.

Sorry. Rant over.

YANBU and I hope you feel better soon. DS and DH both had flu jabs yesterday. DS now full of streaming cold. Don't suppose it's connected but very shit all the same.

YA definetly NBU!

I can't tell if I've got another one or if it's just a continuation of the one I had before. It seemed to be going and now BAM! Throat full of razor blades, a banging headache and no energy.

Brew = lemsip

YANBU but look on the bright side - you should now be immune to two strains of the cold virus.

YANBU. Sometimes you just get a season of picking up every virus going, but it's no fun at all.

You have my every sympathy: fellow asthmatic, and I dread catching colds, it makes my asthma so much worse. I had my flu jab a couple of weeks ago, I hope you can have yours done soon.

I teach in secondary, so many of them are away or sniffling right now, it's quite disgusting. I've taken to chugging multi-vit fruit juice as often as possible in a bid to take in extra vitamins to ward away the colds. I am so NOT wanting the hassle of having to be off sick with asthma stuff. When Year 8 question my bottle of juice, I explain that they are covered in germs I'd rather not share, and if they have to have a supply teacher, I'll make sure they get a really mean one who won't let them play word bingo at the end of the lesson Grin

ProudAS - you're right!! Grin

Iffy - I feel your pain. I'm at a University and the Freshers are already incubating bugs..... Asthma is such a shit.

Haha, Freshers' Flu, then! Incidentally, my asthma was actually diagnosed after my third year freshers' flu just didn't budge...
