To ask if anyone else is sharing my misery?

[RoseCuntedGlasses]

I don’t even care if IABU to be honest because I AM POORLY.

Had a cough and a cold for over a week now and my sore throat is actively getting worse. It hurts to swallow even things that I thought would help, like ice cream. And I can’t sleep for coughing so I’m a moody bastard on top of everything else. FUCK THIS.

Is anyone else enjoying this particular brand of poorly and AIBU to ask for any radical suggestions to help me feel better?

I had tonsillitis recently which was by far the worst I've been ill for years so you have my sympathy.

Rest as much as you can
Keep really hydrated
Take pain killers
Use a throat spray.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks GreatDuck (brilliant name btw)

I'm with you. I'm not getting worse, but not getting better. Just different shit today.

Thanks Rose it was a quote from Masterchef the professionals!

If you have a sore throat you should have warm drinks, tea, soup, honey and lemon etc not cold. (Well, that's what my Granny always said!)

I’m with you. I’ve had a migraine for two days and all I’m allowed to take is paracetamol because I’m pregnant. Might as well be taking Tic Tacs.

This is my 3rd week, it is slowly improving

Oh maaaaan I also have a wide range of throat soothes, cough medicines and ice creams.

Poor Corkscrew, pregnant to boot. I had horrific sinusitis when I was pregnant and couldn’t take all the usual array of drugs and it was beyond miserable. You have my sympathies. Paracetamol can get to fuck.

My kids have had variations of this for the past month or so, as putyourdamnshoeson so succinctly put it it really is “just different shit today”. The sore throats in particular have struck them quite badly. Just as one seems to get better, another one feels ill.
I’ve no big tips but taking Piriton at night seems to soothe the irritation in the throat and the night time coughing has eased and sleep has been better.

Gargle with TCP (diluted) - amazing!
