Ffs I'm in bed for the second time in 14 days having come down with something worse than the original bug I had 2 weeks ago. GP has given me a course of anitb's as have had back to back lurgies. My face feels like it's been kicked. Do I need to start taking vitamins or is this not unusual?

I had this recently after having chicken pox, your immune system is low from fighting the first bug, so your body isn't strong enough to fight a second one. It's crap, vitamins can't hurt, but just rest x

I've had it heavy cold (felt like flu) every month since October. Started taking vitamin d for last month and feel a bit better, think it's been a harsh. Winter for bugs.

Oh I am resting but it's hard to even sleep as I'm hurting all over :(. Hope you're all better though. You really do take feeling well for granted don't you.

I'm the same. I had a horrible flu like bug two weeks ago, now suffering again but I feel much worse this time. It really sucks

Yeah this one makes the first one look paltry. I look and sound like a man. DH on way home with co-codamol for my face.

This is the third week I've had a flu virus. Too poorly to go to the GP. Taken so many pain relief tablets for aches & pains, just fed up with it. Night Nurse has been my saviour for sleeping, knocks me out for six hours.

Oh going. You sure there's nothing bacterial going on?
