Who else would like to indulge in joint self pity due to having a flu or cold or cough or sore throat or anything else?

I've just gotten over a cold.. its crap

My nose hurts from sneezing and I look like Rudolph.

If I lie on my left side in bed, all the snot starts creeping into my left nostril, and vice versa.

I just went to ASDA (with my last remaining bit of physical strength) and bought Beechams All-In-One, VapoRub and Wick First Defense. Now I'm in bed feeling like an overdose.

Well, let me know which one works. Otherwise it's my grandma's traditional (whisky, lemon and cloves).

i am also suffering with a cold i feel so ill...

Yep, teaching in the morning and feel thoroughly rotten.

Lol. So it's not just me then! Tickly cough, thick green phlegm and a dripping nose. Still...must...soldier...on...

Eat more fruit and veg!

Garlic and ginger also helps, especially freshly brewed ginger tea using fresh root ginger.

Freshers' Flu - get it every year

Kitten...also been hit with FF...only sat in on one UG lecture and the vile germs got me!!

i think it is catching up with me now, too.

ah, why can't you be sick when you're procrastinating anyway, instead of when you have sooo much work to do and deadlines looming? bad, bad timing.

I think you get sick when there are deadlines looming because you are more stressed and run down then. Still annoying though.

Colds still here and showing no sign of leaving anytime soon. One of my twins also now has chicken pox
