3rd year with flu over Xmas

[classicaltwist]

This will be the 3rd time I have been unwell over Xmas and new year. I'm unable to sleep which is obviously making it worse but I'm so pissed off. Another new year I will spend bed bound from a temp of 39c and sleep deprivation.

I've tried night nurse, tablets, the lot and nothing is working, I appear to be getting worse. Any wise words if wisdom?

Give in to it. You’ll only get frustrated, so relax and let your body heal.

Been trying to rest and sleep but nothing is working. Major insomnia, it's driving me crazy

Did you have the flu vaccine?

Get the flu vaccine next year. Having spent too many winters ill with flu I started paying to get the vaccine. Best thing I ever decided to do. It's only £10-£15 (I think, I get it free now) and was money well spent considering how much money I lost with time off work.

Try to get the whole household the vaccine next year , as a line defence .

I'm flu jabbed and so is dd but we're still down with an awful virus and have been for 2 weeks now. Last Christmas we all had covid. I wish the schools would break up a week earlier so we were always bloody ill over Xmas.

Weren't always ill over Xmas, obviously!!

I wouldn't recommend the flu vaccine or the nasal spray. When my son's school was giving the children the nasal spray/ flu vaccine a week later they sent an email out saying there was an outbreak of croup in the school. I'm sure the vaccine/nasal spray has caused this. I've never known so many people to be so ill get better and then get ill again.
