Thread to keep positive for all of us with the lurgy?!

[C1239]

Thought it may be nice to have a thread this week to help those of us with one of the bugs going around to keep positive this week leading up to Christmas ?! Don’t know about you but it’s doing my head in!

I’ve been feeling rubbish since last Thursday and just sat and had a good old cry. Just feel miserable. So much to do but no energy to do it..did a very small pile of ironing this morning and then had a sleep for an hour! Talking brings on a painful coughing fit and I am awash with snot.
But having a good cry has helped..this bug will not be rushed it seems and will only go in it’s own sweet time.

I have a mouth ulcer in a place that keeps rubbing a chest infection so i keep coughing yay. Whats more fun is i cant hold my bladder ,i coughed so much its become very weak.I am afraid to sneeze =p

I am cooking christmas dinner ,good luck to me lolllllll

I’ve developed the ability to cough and fart at the same time 😳

it’s traditional for me to be ill before Christmas, but I could really do without it. So cold but sweating like a pig, no appetite, it’s just miserable.

So far I'm ok. DH on the other hand has bad tonsillitis from Strep A (he's allergic to Strep A and has all the allergy symptoms so knew he had it before it turned into tonsillitis). Took five days to get to speak to a nurse practitioner who he had to beg for antibiotics. Four pharmacies later he managed to get them. At least he'll be better for Christmas.

I wouldn't mind so much if it hadn't been such an endless succession of lurgies.

Yes it's terrible isn't it! I too have experienced new things with the illness. One is to sneeze and fart (once I thought I'd shit myself but luckily all was clear). And then I was bathing my son and I thought he'd accidentally splashed me. I had wet hands so licked the 'water' dripping down my top lip. He looked at me confused, asking "Why did you just, did you just...". "Yes" I replied, "I thought it was water". I too have several jobs to do before Christmas, at work and home!

I’m in. Been unwell since last Monday. Cough got a bit better for a day and is now terrible again and making my throat so raw.

DS seems better touch wood but his eyes are red again (his started as conjunctivitis) and he’s snotty again tonight - his cough is also lingering.

DH was better but just said he feels freezing and can’t get warm.

DS has his birthday Christmas Eve and we travel the day before to our folks and I am just praying we aren’t all picking up something new and will be on the mend properly.

calling the GP in the morning as I think I need antibiotics.

Anyone else developed really sensitive mouth/teeth after? Mine was sore last night and this morning one of my teeth is SO sore….

My sister had this, she booked a emergency dentist appointment and they told her is was because of her sinuses.

I have had horrendous teeth pain since Monday (along with a fever and generally feeling terrible). Dentists sent me to the GP who said it is my sinuses and gave me antibiotics.

I am so relieved it’s not just me with the teeth symptoms! Although sorry that others have it too.

I still feel absolutely awful. All plans have been cancelled this week. Feeling very sorry for myself 🤒

In encouraging news, my 6 year old got ill on Sunday and is fine today so I am telling myself that I will be better tomorrow……!

Had gynae surgery on Monday
Minor procedure today
DH has covid

(Obviously in a much worse state than me...!!!)

And the cat just threw up on the windowsill, down the radiator, on to the clean laundry and in my shoes

Sigh
