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!

Weeks 4 and 6

WTAF...?

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.
