Alis girls Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 having got through a very cold winter surrounded by people with flu, swine flu and colds at home and at work - and not so much as a snuffle - why now it is positivley tropical and feel the need to get in the garden do I feel like pants. I have a wheezy cough, ears and throat ache and although thermometer tells me otherwise I feel hot. Most be the copious amounts of paracetamol I have wolfed down. Why now when I want to kick of my shoes and put on a skirt and run round the garden. I think it must have sent me delirious too men in white coats approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oh dear, I must say that YS appears to be coming down with a cold as well as his hayfever! If you feel like running around the garden, you go for it. I hope you feel better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks I couldnt even manage a walk - just feel the urge to feel the sun on me and enjoy nature. Oh well its not man flu so I will soldier on - at least you get sympathy here at home I dont think they would notice if I lay on the floor and expired - prob walk over me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyfeet Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Snap! I've been the same this year - really well through the winter, avoided all the things that everyone else seemed to get and then at the weekend felt like death. Out came the Lemsips etc and I'm starting to feel a lot better now. Think I might have picked something up as my stress levels went through the roof last week and I know that affects my immune system. Have yourself a hot toddy or and hope you feel better soon.

craftyhunnypie Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 A good measure of rum in a mug, topped up with boiling water & sipped will work wonders for you! If you don't like alcohol then try hot milk with honey stirred in & a good sprinkle of nutmeg on the top. Both really do work - don't ask me why. Hope you get better soon.

j00lz_12366 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If I start with a cold I try to top up my vitamin C levels-1 a day tablets and some really good 'bitty' orange juice-prob doesnt actually help but it makes me feel better! Look after yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 On the Vitamin C already - slept will but now coughing like a woman with a 50 a day habit. Might try hot toddy later - I think we have some rum. it looks nice outside which does lift the spirits. I think I am run down due to job situation with OH and kids probs etc - I plod on and then collapse - dont all we ladies do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
