Yes I feel rough, have woken up every morning for a week with NO VOICE. My ears kept popping and really hurting too. Crap innit?

Me too - had it since last Sunday and was quite worried as i felt so bad with it - exhausted by 8pm most days and even contemplating a couple of days off work next week as i feel so bad

Dh is the only one vaguely happy and that is only because altho he has it he is getting so much more sympathy than normal as i know how cr$p this cold makes you feel !!!

At least i know it is not just me - hope you feel better soon ...

I have it too, but probably not as bad as some of you. Still have had sore throat, sore chest, aching lims, feel really washed out, and runny nose/blocked up. I can really recommend ephedrine nose drops for congestion btw - you can buy them over the counter. They really help, and if you are prone to sinusitis, help to reduce the likelihood of getting it after a cold.

I had hoped to get loads of gardening done this weekend, but due to washed-out ness, have done bugger all, apart from play with ds and his Playmobil
