Is anyone as ill as I feel today ? The virus from nowhere ….

[Kittyberry]

Just wanting to know if anyone is being struck down overnight with the horrible nausea and shivering and stiff neck and headache ?? Before I go self diagnosing myself with something really bad, is anyone feeling the same? I was fine yesterday but woke today with every joint in my body aching and the nausea is threatening to over whelm.
Everyone else in the house is course of perfectly well…. Is it going to write off my bank holiday weekend ?

Well, the Bank Holiday Monday dawns and I do indeed feel a fair bit better now - and obviously will be ‘able’ to work tomorrow. Weather is not particularly good - unlike Saturday - where I am, in the south.
It occurred to me that this past autumn is the only one in 5 years that I did NOT take the Flu jab.
This coming autumn I definitely will as I do think not having done so has resulted in a 3 episodes of fluey type onsets since the start of the year and it’s a bit relevant in that for 5 years I have hardly had even one - perhaps some short term snivelling that’s gone in 48 hours but nothing like this time.

Flu injection non negotiable now, I think going forward. Just a thought

I definitely think so. I’m certain I’d have suffered much more illness over the past winter / spring without it.

That said, I’m very fed-up with the so far moderate but nevertheless debilitating headache I’ve had since last week. My other fever and cold symptoms seem much improved this morning - but my concentration is shot.

I have felt very tired with neck pain too, i think it’s a swollen lymph node in my neck causing the pain.
