Came down very quickly with a horrible cold on Saturday, was quite rough but come Monday it had completely gone, fast foward to this P.M i get a horrible sore throat and am now having a few dizzy spells.

Is this how these bugs are showing themselves?

I think there are loads of different variations, but the overriding theme seems to be that they come and go for ages. Mine started 2 weeks ago with flu-like aches, pains & headaches. Quickly turned to really horrible earache and sore throat - I could barely swallow at all for three days. As that began to fade the cough turned up. A couple of days ago I thought that was getting better, now it's back with a vengeance with cold symptoms to boot. Isn't winter a joy? Hope you start to feel better soon.

so this is what I have
Felt a bit under the weather yesterday. Woke up with horrendous earache in the night and feeling very bleugh. dh was snoring so I went to find another room to try and get comfy. dh found me sobbing in pain lying on the spare room floor. I think I must have been a bit delerious cos it was not a rational place for me to be lying!

Yes there seem to be a lot of sicken by stealth bugs about atm. DD, DP and I have had an on/off cold for about 4 weeks now. Keep thinking we're better and then it gets us again. And now DD's got an on/off tummy bug too She's ok for about 12 hours then ill, then better for 12 hours... it's very strange. Hope you are all better soon

Cold seems to have gone now (again), but i feel a bit bleugh and sicky.

DS is at my MILs and all that side of the family have had a stomach bug this week, which he is bound to get and bring home with him on Monday.

Never ending at the minute.

Hope you all start to feel better soon.
