Anyone else been ill over Christmas?

I’ve picked up a cough typically just before going back to work. Started last week but getting worse now! Bit of a change of diet yesterday so got the shits too! What joy !

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.

Ours are artificial
 
Really really shit, each day different...got to one stage where I took my dogs out at 4 in the morning because I couldn't sleep and felt claustrophobic. Been over 2 week now people reckon it's going to be 3 before it goes.....ears are blocked up and have had the floor spinning twice, really weird. Tried the quacks but nothing until the 16th, the lady on reception just smiled when I said I could be dead by then. Ironically it feels the same as covid but my home test proved negative

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.

Feeling slightly better tiday; less of the aches and pains. Still got the runny nose and annoying cough. First decent night's kip in a while last night. I've got Lemsips coming out of my ears right now

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!

Ah, memories. I had similar issues on a river cruise. I really thought it was going to be Death on the Nile.
 
Went out to watch the Arsenal v Villa game at the pub and have felt like shit ever since.
Might be manflu, might just be the close proximity of a pub full of Villa fans

Talk about pot calling kettle .

Have a look in your meths basket and check out the side effects of each substance. There's your answer to being ill.

"Doctor doctor ,my Xmas tree is making me sick"

Doctor ( rolls eyes ) here take this for 6 weeks and come back to me if it doest work . Or makes you worse . ; )

Far too much to drink. Too much to eat. I’ve put weight on. Spent a fortune. sniffles and a sore throat. Back in work next Tuesday unfortunately. Complete beer and food detox next week. Off the beer all week and back to my sensible eating. Until then, one for the road. :-)

Our resident conspiracy nut case has obviously had his cage rattled.
Haven’t you got an anti vax lie and other such fuckwittery to promulgate somewhere?
 
It’s been about 3 weeks for me now, and I still feel weak. Pretty sure it was some nasty flu, really lingered longer than I expected.
