    Dying in bed last few days with aches, pains, congestion, sneezes, headaches etc. When i sneeze i get these terrible shooting pains from my neck to my shoulders ,chest, arms etc. Is there a virus doing the rounds at moment and i dont mean the one that yore'ma has. Could be the ghey i suppose but i still dont get turned on by men yet. More flu remedy for me i think and sleep.

    Got it from attending a big wedding last weekend i think. Loads of young couples with young kids at it who are bound to be carrying these bugs around. Massive drinking all weekend did'nt help either, 3 day hangovers overlaping with the flu aint nice kids.:(

    I don't have a cold yet but I have no doubt that I'll have one shortly. My immune system is not my strongest, er, feature?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 622 ✭✭✭Solarball10


    Yep, I've been completely stuffed up and had a sore throat since Monday - sore throat is gone now, but still blocked up, which is the most annoying thing ever!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭fakearms123


    it sounds like your pregnant, all those symptoms don't lie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭Awayindahils


    Cough/cold, beginnings of a chest infection if I'm not careful according to the doctor...and a whole pile of deadlines coupled with people on holidays in work. Oh teh joy!:rolleyes:

    Got myself a real ****head of a chest infection over the weekend there that has me on enough steroids to see me banned from athletics for life (if I was an athlete), enough antibiotics to have me investigated for being a human bio-warfare factory & an inhaler to help me breath during the day, with a nebuliser for nite time ......

    Kids, if you feel wheezy, go see a Doc & get it sorted, cos right now I've enough medication & a lack of a voice that it is seriously unfunny.

    Did I mention the coughing up blood from tearing the back of my throat from coughing alone??? :(

    It's Lupus.

    I've been off work with if for the last three days. It's a bloody horrible dose that doesn't seem to shift.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,496 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable


    It's Lupus.

    It's never Lupus!

    I have a deviated septum (look it up if you dont know what it is :D) which results in chronic sinusitis which I have from September to May, and for the summer months hay fever takes over. Other than that, I'm grand!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,237 ✭✭✭georgem25


    A few people in work got it .. so eventually so did I
    2 days of Vitamin C, paracatemol and an early night

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge

    If its sinus/blocked nose related try steaming using olbas oil/vicks.
    Flixonase spray is very good and gargglinh salt and warm water works well too.

    If it's flu, getting out of bed isn't even possible, let alone going to work :)

    There's a very nasty cold going round all right though - people are dropping like flies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Flu is a term used too often. You have a cold.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Yeah, a very nasty cold maybe, but flu is actually a serious illness which people don't get that often and which can kill the more vulnerable members of society. I got the flu three or four years ago - first time since I was a little kid. Holy crap, it's scary...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    I feel like I might throw up and my head is spinning. :(
