.....watch out!
I have been in bed since Thursday evening and I still feel bad. Different bad since Thursday, but still bad. Started with a sore windpipe at teatime and, by nine o'clock was in full blown high temperature delirium mode. Constantly coughing, no idea what time/day it was. Friday is gone from my memory. Mo went to work (she has to) and the next time I remember seeing her was when I asked for some toast for breakfast and she told me it was seven o'clock Friday evening, not Saturday morning. She had cleaned the bathroom where I thought I had been for a pee but obviously lost my bearings :-[
Coughing continued Saturday, until my rib cage was constantly painful but, all in all, a better day with lower temperature and able to eat stuff I fancied. Cakes, ginsters pasty, etc. Yesterday, I thought I was getting better and was making plans for today. Mo said I was an idiot (not for the first time) and that younger, fitter people at work were going down for a week with it and still looked like shit when they came back.
Had a strange, nightmarish night last night and today is the scariest day so far. Every half hour or so, the room starts spinning, my whole body tingles and I feel sick. Could do with someone to hold my hand :(
I am a worrier, and I have things to do and people relying on me to do the day to day menial tasks like shopping and cooking, but I can't. So now I feel guilty as well as ill.
If you catch it, look after yourself. It probably won't kill you, but it feels like it might.

Had my flu jab weeks ago, so don't rely on that.
-
Had mine too but had a flu type bug for the last week. Wasnt as bad as yours by the sound of it, but I cant shake off the headache.
-
That's why I don't have the flu jab.
Mum was rough for a week after hers. Can only think that there might be a reaction to the TCV jabs... Was fine after the first two (AZ) , but the booster (Pfizer) was pretty horrible, not helped by catching TCV on top of it. Fortunately that only lasted a few days.
Have either of you tested for TCV :-\

Sounds awful Steve, we've both had our flu jabs as well a few weeks ago, only ever had flu once thankfully but wasn't anything like you are describing, take care & certainly don't feel guilty if you're feeling that bad just rest up.

Thanks, Mick, words of reassurance are what I need right now. Big soft git that I am :-[

You need to get yourself another dog. Bit of fresh air and a good walk is what you need lad! :D
Get well soon! :)
-
Did a Covid test btw, which was negative as expected. Not a flu or booster jab reaction as I had them months ago.
Just an annoying winter bug that seems to be taking its time to disappear.

I'd second that, we walk for at least an hour every day, we both had Covid at the end of July no worse than a heavy cold but we kept our routine up & ate well throughout+ plenty of fluids & we were fine within a few days, us old folk are made tough Steve so kick the bug up its arse !

I go out walking every day, but no intention of getting another dog. I go out when I want to, not when dog wants to :y

Ours goes out when we want to. She's asleep almost as much as me ;D

Annoying is the word, Albs. These things just don't bother us when we're younger, but I just know it'll take the best part of ten days/two weeks before I'm fully operational again. Keep yer pecker up, old lad. ;D

We had an appointment with her mates every morning. My dog walking became quite a social event and I met a lot of good people over the eleven years we were together.

Every time we've lost one of our dogs we always say that we'll have a break before we get another, but within a couple of weeks I feel that my whole routine has gone so off to Boxer rescue we go for a " replacement" . Buddy is at my feet as I'm composing this as we're off out walking.

Its called getting old Steve. And you leave my pecker out of it. ;D

Sorry to hear you have not been feeling too chipper lately, old lad. :)
You need to look after your emotional well being.
Being a miserable old bastard probably doesn't help. >:D

To look after my emotional wellbeing, I would have to stay in bed where I am, never turn the telly on, open a newspaper or look at my iPad. Turn off my mobile, unplug my home phone and stick cotton wool in my ears ;D

Two Chinese sniffle jabs but have declined the third as they don't seem to do much, and some people have become ill.
Way too young for a flu jab but I wouldn't bother anyway. :)

Whale music will lift your spirits when combined with a comely Barnsley wench between the sheets. :)

It's flu, nowt to do with the flu jab. And I've had four coronavirus jabs, and would accept a fifth. This is why the flu jab is pot luck:

What's the point of being happy for 20 seconds? :(

It’s 20 seconds less time to be miserable ;)

Hope you are soon on the mend :y Remember, any doubts, or if it lingers too long, demand a blood test, as you don’t want to end up like me.
Has that put your mind at rest …… no, thought not. ;D

I'm going back to re-read your post. After that I'll probably smack my own arse and go for a walk in the freezing rain ;D

Wrong thread

A few shots of Brandy always makes me feel much better if I'm feeling rough or think I've got a bug developing.

Just a thought like.... but given that Mrs STEMO is a Schoolmistress, you haven't picked up this Strep A bug that's going round? ???
Adults can catch it too, so maybe Mrs S brought it home. Starts with a sore throat as well... :-\

Listening to the car radio a few minutes ago and there was a fellow on their who had it & he mentioned that the sore throat was almost unbearable , so might be a very good point.

Maybe you have the same respiratory illness that is pandemic here in Spain. The hospitals are chocker. The amount of Covid is quite low. A good friend got it and pegged after a week. He was 90 but without it he would still be here.
-
I really don't know what flavour of infection I've got, I just know it's a nasty bastard. I'm a bit blasè when it comes to my health, we all think we're hard and can't understand all the fuss over a bit of a cold. But the world is changing rapidly, and all kinds of nasties are waiting to pounce. There's not much we can do to stop it, except hand washing and the like I guess.

My missus has just rung to ask if I want owt on her way home. As everything tastes like...well....nothing, I've asked her to get me something spicy to start with and something really sweet for afters.
Oh, the anticipation..... ;D
-
I notice that the phases I've been through don't include the shits, so I've probably got that to look forward to tonight/tomorrow. Especially if the 'something spicy' I've asked for turns out to be a big 'A bit of how's yer father' off vindaloo. ;D

I assumed that was the lost my bearings in the bathroom bit you mentioned earlier. ::) ;D

No, that was wee wee on the floor opposite where the bog is ;D

You can also take the piss if i get it.

Don't shit the bed. It is never a good look. :)

Got the tee shirt. But it really doesn't matter nowadays, I'm on my own all day, so I can just lie in it for a while, and clean it up in my own sweet time. :)

Been out and got a bit of shopping. Back on my bed now, drained, but reports of my death have been grossly exaggerated :P

Fresh air & plenty of rest Steve, don't push yourself too much a bit of improvement each day is what you want+ plenty of fluids to flush the virus from your system.
