Urgh, on Tuesday I started feeling like a had a heavy cold coming at work, by the time I got the kids to bed at night I was feverish and aching all over. It's been like that since then, I've been off work and spent most of the time in bed. I'm slowly beginning to feel better but god it's been awful. I've now got a really horrible, wet cough that keeps my up in the night. I'm just so tired, please tell me you've had this winter flu type thing and it gets better soon??

Yep both me and DH had it and I'm sorry to say one month later and we are only just feeling ourselves again. It was grim. Hope it passes you quicker.

I have flu and feel your pain. My dh thankfully is around this week as I feel achey and awful. Hope it passes quickly.

@Hangingtrousers that's rotten, I'm sorry you felt poorly for so long. I'm going away with my friends for a 40th this weekend and at the moment I just want to use the time to sleep in a hotel bed with no kids around! lol.

Aw man, I'm sorry @ClarabellaCTL Flu is shit honestly. Have you had your flu jab? I really recommend them- haven't had it every single winter I've had one! (I did mine last October).

Fresh lemon, hot water, nose spray, loads of tissues and a treat of some kind always goes down well with me. Maybe try and have a bath this evening to feel a bit better due to the sweating and laying around all day?

Nice hot meal in the evening always goes down well and warms you from the inside (even if you don't feel like eating- you gotta nourish yourself).

I've had it for over a week now. Very similar to you describe. Yesterday was the first day in a week that I was able to spend much time out of bed, although I didn't get farther than the couch.
My appetite hasn't improved much probably due to the fact that I've completely lost my sense of taste.
Still have the cough though.
Hope you feel better soon.

@sweetpeach91 thank you. I didn't have the flu jab this year, I really wish I had now! I'll be getting it next year

@Pinkkahori my appetite is non-existent too! I'm forcing down some soup and fruit as I know I need to eat something. Hope you feel better soon too x
