I am now entering the fourth week of being ill. It's not seeming like one illness though it's more like a cluster of them attacking me!!
Week one: started off as tonsillitis, then I developed what I thought was a cold, but it turned out to be the flu. I've had my flu jabs so I was pissed off!
Week two: flu continues. Symptoms worsen, then slightly improve.
Week three: flu symptoms mostly lifted apart from headaches etc. I have some other symptoms too, see a family friend who used to be a doctor who says Sinusitis. Great! So I try to get a GP appointment but they won't offer me one as it's not an emergency and I have fibromyalgia so I "see things a lot worse than they are" which is what I got told after a 3 minute phone call, even though I fainted due to having hot flashes and keep waking up with awful night sweats, even though my room is freezing!!
Week four: I wake up to bloody tonsillitis again! How is this fair! So on top of the arse end of a flu and a sinus infection, I now have double tonsillitis!! 
my face is all swollen and I feel like I can't speak.
I know I have it a lot better than most people and I know it's not a huge problem in the grand scheme of things but I'm so frustrated, I'm behind on my work and having to cancel commitments which I hate! And most people just think it's a cold I've been drinking clear fluids, taking painkillers when absolutely necessary, resting etc etc but I'm still bloody ill! Don't know what else I can do except have a moan and thank you for listening - sorry it's soooo long
