to be actually ill?

[HookedOnHooking]

Like all good hypochondriacs I am really as strong as a beast and very rarely proper ill.

But today I am feeling worse by the minute. Hacking cough. Aching bones. Big ol glands in my neck and head. So so cold I am shivering despite the hit water bottle, blanket and heating cranked up.

I am miserable.

Give me sympathy please.

I had flu really badly. This is exactly how it started for me: my legs hurt so much I wanted to cry! Sorry op, I was extremely unwell (bedbound with a fever of > 38.0 C) for 4 days and am still not 100% 2 weeks later. Hope you feel better soon

Lot of sympathy Hook but bugger all you can do about it. I had something similar when I was nine. We had to come home from holiday and I was carried in to GP by my tiny mum because I was soooo weak.
