Anyone else suffering with a cold/flu?

[MissH995]

And boy I feel dreadful! My nose is blocked, I'm breathing like Darth Vader, I'm hot, cold and everything inbetween🤒

I'll be 10 weeks on Sunday, and I've had this cold coming on since Sunday and last night it really took over. My nose is dripping like a tap. I just want to sleep constantly, I've been doing 8 hour shifts in work starting at 6am and we've only had 2 Covid workers, so I've took endless tests which are negative. It's my last shift tomorrow and I have one day off before I'm back and honestly I'm dreading every second of it as our air con is broken in work so it's like a sweat shop at the moment. Ive been taking paracetamol like it's going out of style, drinking lots of orange juice along with water. My god I feel awful🤢

You might find this story interesting in your current predicament. I know quite a few people (DM, DH and DD included) who have had this and been utterly miserable.

Hope you feel better soon.

@MajorCarolDanvers I have actually seen that going round on Facebook and believe me when everyone and their mother has this cold! It's honestly horrible. You don't realise how much you depend on medication with a cold until you can't take it. I've constantly had a honey and lemon boiled sweet in my mouth

Absolutely. When I had a cold when I was pregnant I would have given anything to be able to take decongestant. Honey and lemon just doesn't cut it.
