FGS - what is this devilish virus I seem to have?

Sorry I'm moaning as I know there are worse things but...........have had some kind of stinking virus for 2 weeks now. Started with a horrific throat problem which led to me losing my voice for 2 days, then started feeling OK but blam, went down on Sunday to something else, or maybe the next part of the original thing. Feel like crap, no energy, no appetite, just want to sleep for England, feel cold and shivery and my whole body aches, can't even pick up the baby without pain and a real effort.

No point in going to my docs. He will tell me I have a virus which I probably have. Just wondered if anyone else has had this, how long has it lingered and what magical potion will cure me? (Know the last bit is unlikely.)

Don't know if this is the same thing but I had a chest infection for 2 weeks and couldn't get out of bed. It went.. Was ok for a week then had a sore throat.. Glands sore etc.. Had antibiotics and went again.
Now after a week I have the sore throat again.. Just won't shift and I'm pregnant so cant take alot for it either.

Ohh poor you. Least I'm not pregnant! I hate these bloody viruses - they just drag on and on. I was on strike today so spent much of day in bed - so not exactly supporting the strike but catching up on lost sleep!

Can you get hold of any manuka honey - preferably +10 or +15. It's really soothing and got antibiotic and antiviral properties too.

I am on strike as well today and feel yucky and got glands in throat the size of golf balls. Perhaps it was a punishment for strikingWink
