Does anyone else have this cold-from-hell?

I know it's just a cold but it's floored me

The cough has made me ache, the Rudolph look isn't great, it's horrific

And it's been a week already

Lasted 4 weeks for me!

Cough is still going at week 6 but thankfully not as much.

Yep! I'm on week 5/6. The cough is starting to go and my snot/phlegm is slowly going from milky green back to clear 😂
DH has pulled his ribs from coughing so much ☹️

Yes, I’m in week four and finally starting to recover. Still feel knackered though.

Ironically, my DH and my children gave it to me and they were all over it in a few days…I got it looking after them, of course!

I had it just before Christmas, topped off with 3 large cold sores between my mouth and nose

Isn’t this one of the new strains of Covid? Careful of pneumonia and Strep if symptoms persist. Get well soon!

I've had it a week and I'm exhausted with it!

I think I've pulled my tummy muscles (or lack thereof!)

Coming out of it after 4 weeks, I don’t remember having a cold that bad in 20 years!

Mine was deemed viral by the GP over Christmas and then on the 3rd I tested positive for covid. I am now neg but still coughing like a walrus. It's been 5 weeks.
