Allotments 4 All

Hi Guys,

As some of you know i have been ill (again  :'( ) Spoke to the doc today and hes told me there is a 4 week flu like Virus going around our village and i thought i would make people aware in case its going around your way.

Week 1 :- Symptoms like Flu inc feaver/chills, cough, feeling week and latargic etc
Week 2 :- Vomiting and Coughing up Green and Yellow flem
(i am week 2 fun fun fun)
Week 3-4 is a lessening of the above and generaly feeling crappy!!

Am sorry to hear you have been hit by this as it sounds absolutely awful (though perhaps a fast way to lose the extra pounds picked up over Christmas...).

Hope you are feeling better soon (or in two weeks as the case may be).

Oh Nooooooo

So THAT'S why I still feel grotty. At least I'm not vomiting (yet). I have to keep cancelling things as I expected to feel better by now.
It seems to keep on coming and going. :-\
Hope you're soon feeling better Cam.

Yes, its seems to have covered the whole country.  To get over a proper flu' does take about 4 weeks or more.  Nasty viruses out there.   Hope everyone feels a bit better soon.

:-X 

Must be the one that I got. I thought it was a bad cold, OH called it 'man flu'. But I struggled back to work this morning and pruned all the roses, so I have used the old way of curing ailments by blood letting, Spiteful buggers some of those ramblers.

 ;D  We have been there, had it, and you have our sympathy and hope you get well soon.

thanks guys :)

Managed to walk to the pharmacist today pick up more decongestant, expectorant and the antibiotics :)

I started on the 6th December and although I'm more or less better I'm still coughing and still snuffly. Nothing a nice wee malt can't sort out mind you! ;) ;)

I think it's the worst bug I've had for years and it just goes on and on. You think you're better and it starts up again. So take it easy Louise and pamper yourself a bit.

It'll take longer than four weeks for you to feel 100 percent again.  In the meantime don't do anything you don't need to do, get the OH to spoil you, put your feet up and dream of summer.

:) :) :)

No 'ick' but everything else.

Endless cough + its green associate
Shaky, unbalanced, weak at the knees if I go as far the drinks cupboard, little appetite!!

Started 10 days ago. Lost voice for 2 days, until I found one Dalek-like chord that I could communicate on. No change.

good advice :) OH has recovered after 10 days and gone back to work lucky bugger!
If i could get a good nights sleep and keep some food down i am sure i would feel better :)

Yes - SLEEP. If only!!

Sorry to hear you've been so poorly Cambourne7 (and Tim) There certainly does seem to be a lot going around at the moment. I had a BAD cold (some may say manflu!) before Christmas which knocked me out for about 3 days and then it came back last week for another few days. Maybe it's a mild form of Birdflu??  ::)

Alarm message the bug has landed at the other side of the pond,a lot of people here are sick or on there way to be sick.I am already two weeks not so well but i am not sick just something in between.

No, she took precautions, just in case and threw out all the custard powder.

Thanks for all the kind words :)

Yes its getting everywhere, friend of mine in Denmark has had it and so has my cousin in Canada.  I have managed to keep some food down tonight which was a massave boost. I even got a couple of hours sleep :)

I am however up now feeling like i have have a full nights sleep, so got up to leave hubbie to a good nights sleep. I can always go back to bed later when i feel like i can sleep.
(Dont panic i am not going to do anything other than make a cup of tea and listen to the radio)

We have both had it since 22nd Dec :( still coughing and yesterday i felt soooo bad i slept most of the day :(
Been to the gym this morning even though i didnt feel like it.
Its a nasty bug and i had all on the list  :-\
Hope all that are fighting it win the battle soon (((((((hugs))))))))
