Who else has got the sniffles?

Who else is suffering with the lastest flu or cold symptoms which you can’t get rid of or keeps coming back, and no matter what medicine you buy over the counter does not have any effect at all. Can’t get to see a doctor is this something more sinister never known it lasting so long.

Just getting over the flu, well I hope I am. Been in bed for 6 days with it, feel a little better but it’s still lingering and totally floored me to be honest. I’ve had Covid twice before but it never hit me like this did.
 
I've had a persistent cold, and cough, since mid December , i just can't shift the fkr .... just when I think it's gone, up pop the sniffles and sneezes again to remind that it hasn't!

I've been trying a mixture of ginger, cinnamon, tumeric and honey for a few days now, but so far it's done nowt to help shift it!

EXACTLY! WTF?!

Wife had it and I took care of her and then I got it! On day 7 today and it’s been miserable. Very productive..and colorful!! Ruins my sleep, because if I cough I’m awake for ages, and feel like I’ve ripped every stomach muscle I have from the force of the coughing!

Today is the first day I haven’t been spitting up, but the cough is still there. When I don’t try to talk and keep my mouth closed, the air seems not to catch my throat as much, but the minute I try to talk, it’s over for another few minutes of coughing! Head is banging, too, probably from the coughing, as I’ve been trying to stay as hydrated as possible.

Sounds like we have shared it with my bro-in-law, too, as he says he has it now!!!

All this, against the backdrop of my losing her Mum to pancreatic & liver cancer a few days ago, has made 2025 an absolute shitfest so far. It’d better fucking buck up!

Sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences.
 
My mate across the road has had it. He is a grafter who never misses a days work if there’s money to be made and he’s been knocked for six , reckons he’s never felt like it before and he’s had the last week and a half off work. He’s the type who can never sit still and always doing something but we haven’t seen him as he’s totally fucked. The only time he’s been out was to the doctor who told him to drink water and rest as there was nothing he could do for him
 
No sniffles but taken to A&E with chest pains and breathless. Ruled out heart, checking for clot but looks like pneumonia. Been here 7 hours and counting

I did what I should have done a week ago and went to the doctors today, bacterial infection in the right lung, on antibiotics, hope they kick in sharpish. No sleep, horrendous coughing fits leading to blood, headaches and painful sides.

Utter shite:-)

I hope you have fully mended pal.
