Had cold/chesty cough for 6 weeks now, just blew my nose (or "dose") and I almost fell off the chair

[MamaG]

I went sooo dizzy, it was awful

awww, just going through unanswered threads and saw this {{hugs}}

MamaG you're worn out poor love, top yourself up with some bitamin (sorry vitamin ) C and echinacea (sp?) and look after yourself! Sending pity and a hug your way!

MamaG - I went to the Docs the other day with similar thing (had it 4 weeks) I did go when I'd had it two weeks (was there about something else) and was told it would sort itself out. GP this week said I needed an antibiotic if it had been 4 weeks....

Hope you feel better soon x

p'raps I should go to the Docs.

MamaG...... I would go to the Docs if I was you. You have had this way to long already!

I think you are in need of some antibiotics.

Big {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you and I hope you feel better soon.

[basks in sympathy glow as DH ignores my coughing]

MamaG How are you feeling now?

Hope you are on the mend now.

Thanks for asking - still feel crap TBH but I'm trying to work through it, I often feel better when I'm ill if I get up, dressed and do a normal day's stuff IYKWIM (although coming up to 7 weeks is a long time to have a cold/cough )

BAck to work tomorrow (boo) but if I'm still ill on Thurs, I'll go to the Docs then

I know what you mean about getting up and getting on with everyday stuff. If you sit down and think of being ill, the more ill you feel.

I would still go to your GP. 7 weeks is a bit long to be feeling crap. You might just need a booster of some sort to help you beat off the cold and cough. Dont leave it until you cant even move. It takes even longer to get over it then. I ended up in hospital for 4 days a few weeks ago b/c I push it a little to far.
