I know there are a lot of people worse than I right now but after almost 2 months I have had enough of these germs hanging around!

Started out with a sore throat, cough and ended up with no voice about 10 days before Xmas, carried on til beginning of January and then was ok for a few days.
About 3 days later I started out with flu!!! 3 weeks later and it was finally on its way out and now it seems I have sinusitis and a chest infection - most likely left over from the flu - finally been to the doctor and got some antib's so hopefully they'll work sharpish!!

Moan, moan, moan Confused

Sorry just feeling sorry for myself as I am still having to work/be a busy mum so probably not doing myself any favours!

Thanks for listening :)

Awhhh I feel for you, being a mum and being ill is bad enough coping with work on top of that must be really taking its toll, I can only advise you on what I do and did to fight the germs off in my household. So what I did was open all windows and air out the house give everything a clean dust and polish. Carry antibacterial wipes with you tissues etc. Gargle salt water before bed that's good for sore throats. Take paracetamol. Try rubbing the sides of your nose and across under the eyes. Gently. This is for drainage. Make sure you have a bowl of water in the rooms when you have your heating on. Try vics in a bowl of hot water for blocked nose. I hope you find something that helps with all I have said.. Get well soon. X
