Anyone else been ill over Christmas?

Thought I’d drank and ate a bit too much Boxing Day, woke up in the early of 27th shitting through the eye of a needle, I’ve felt fucking awful since, thought it could be food poisoning but not had a crap for 3 days but every time I eat I feel like I want to throw up. Had shivers for 24 hours at the start and now just feel shit and aching, lost about 4lbs in weight, which is what I’d put on in December!

Mental note to self, dont read bluemoon whilst having your dinner :-)

Hope you feel better soon mate, there have been plenty of bugs going round atm.

Just my seemingly annual cold , which this year started on my birthday on 28th. It didn’t affect my meal out that day, or drinks last night. It’s nearly done with now. Glad I booked tomorrow off as it’s given me a 4 day weekend.

Yep, exactly same here and started on 27th. Felt better after a couple of days and fine now, but still a bit ‘runny’. Have you been dining in same places as me around Royton?

Sounds like Aids sorry.

No mate not ate out at all bar Xmas eve but that was fine, I just feel like I’ve been battered, but the sick stomach thing is bugging me, every drink or something to eat I feel nauseous

Last few days, I've had one of those annoying, chesty, phlegm-y coughs along with a runny nose and plenty of aches and pains. I just put it down to being an FOC.

Been ill on and off since a week before Christmas. Fortunately perked up 24/25/26th quickly slid back into a raking cough, sore throat and the shits. Happy New Year!

Women don’t know our pain pal, sending thoughts ;)

Felt rotten since Xmas eve.
I reckon it’s Covid.
Be glad to get back to work on the 5th tbh.

I've not been ill for something like 8 years now. Feel bulletproof. Missus catches all sorts and I don't.

Gonna hit me hard when my defences eventually crumble.

Two weeks of a chesty cough. Can't seem to get rid of it. Had to cancel Christmas day meal out, not seen the family yet. Getting tired all the time too. Back to work (from home) tomorrow. The joys!

Any excuse to avoid the family

Had norovirus about three weeks ago.

Been too busy working to get ill, all of it. Had one day off between 23rd and now. Today being the one. Dont slag public sector workers off so quickly everyone. Hope you all relaxed at home

 

[Bluemanc100]

It’d be easier to ask who hasn’t been ill.. Lots we know (including us) have been struck down over the last month

Same here, everyone I live with has suffered, yet I'm fine. Anglo Saxon me, ailments are something for others.

Then again I've got 3 hospital referrals in the pipeline, vascular appointment next Tuesday, hope it doesn't interfere with my holiday.

 

[Longballutd]

The flu from the day I got my holidays and right through the Christmas. Typical with the timing, glad none of the family caught it.

Look up Christmas Tree Syndrome.

Over the last three weeks I developed a rasping cough, runny nose and sore throat.
It coincided with getting a Fraser for Christmas tree.
It seemed to get worse when I was in room the tree was.
The paroxysms of coughing were to the point of retching.
It seemed to lessen when I had a bath or was outside.
I did A bit of googling and found the above.

So we stripped the tree and got it outside.

Since then the sniffles have stopped and the cough has virtually disappeared.

It’s all down to mould spores and something called terpenes in the sap of the tree.
