last week it came on me suddenly and was much like a cold, but a very bad one. it lasted about four days then i had three days of feeling human again. then i got this one. no snotty nose, just a terrible painful throat, no energy, hot and cold chills. aching all over. finding it very hard to get off the sofa. i hate being ill, im hardly ever ill. this is day four again. im hoping this is the worst day, ds has just come to me and asked to go to bed, he says is neck is aching. poor love, i wouldnt wish this on anyone!
