First time I've been on computer since Tuesday but eyes are going funny so probably won't even be around to see any replies. I am feeling soo ill, started early hours of wednesday morning with sore throat then progressed to achiness everywhere all neck/throat glands swollen feverish, green snot which has loads of blood in it (sorry tmi i know!) I rang drs but didn't get up early enough to get an appointment. Mil has had the kids for 3 days on the run because I can't function at all, seem to be sleeping all the time. Has anyone else got this and wtf is it? I haven't felt so ill since I had glandular fever 13 years ago. Apologies in advance if I don't reply today but I've got to lie down again.

think dp has had this its a viral infection according to his doctor and he went into hosp yesterday and came out a couple of hours ago and is in bed now.

his symptoms are...

sore throat/ losing voice/ hacking cough
not being able to sleep much despite being very tired
feeling emotional
rash (bright red)
temperature (between 37-41)
headache
achey body

this has been going on for about a week n half now and the hosp released him saying they dont know if the rash was down to an alergic reaction to some antibiotics he had from the dentists for inflamed gums. we wont know til monday and thats if the doctors bother to tell us. His rash has faded a bit and i think getting complete rest in hosp has helped as when he's at home having 2 kids running round (one is 7 the other is 10mths)

it is awful though and i feel for you too.

Oh sorry to hear your dp isn't well either LMG I hope he gets better soon and thanks for replying
Well i've been the drs who says I have chronic sinusitus and tonsillitus so two for the price of one aren't I lucky!! He's put me on the maximum dose of clarythromycin (sp?) as i'm allergic to penicillin this medicine always makes me feel sick if i'm on a high dose but there's nothing else I can take. Feeling really yuck today my throat is like glass and i'm deaf in one ear which i'm not enjoying at all, hope the antibiotics kick in soon,
