Lurgy Alert: I'm really miserable:(

You are all so lovely, thank you.

Didn't have flu jab (not old enough for freebie) but was booked to have one at Boots.

I can't taste anything at all..... and eating makes me feel sick so surviving on diet coke, water and lemon with honey.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it x

Loopy, I have had similar lurgie for past nine days.Have to sleep upright in a chair and feel and look like death warmed up! Finally gave in and saw GP today and have a weeks worth of antibiotics to take.DH now has it and has taken to his bed! DH had a flu jab two weeks ago, so this is not flu but something similar along with the hacking cough, sore throat and infected sinuses. Lovely!

loopy can't add to what others have said. Do get well soon, but you must feel like poo at the moment.

Hope you will soon be feeling better loopylou that sounds horrible. I hope your DH was sufficiently better to look after you.

Have you had the flu jab? (getting worried now, I haven't)

There are some lurgies going around here; chest infections in people who never normally get them, tonsillitis (requiring hospitalisation!) etc etc

It sounds awful, loopylou. Hope you soon start to feel better.

Oh loopy that sounds horrendous! Get better quickly (((hugs))) from a distance!

get well soon Loopy

Sorry, meant to add hope you're feeling better soon Loopy

Ouch loopylou when he undertook to endow you with "all his worldly goods" he wan't meant to include that!
Deepest sympathy and very best wishes that you feel better very soon. Sounds as if you might have been a bit run down though, I don't suppose a Caribbean Cruise is on the cards? No? Well At the very least some lovely flowers, a bottle of tonic and maybe a weekend by the sea when you feel up to it.
In the meantime, a cleaner, ironing service, and an Internet shop. And stay in bed

Strange lurgies about. I was completely poleaxed for 24 hrs on Friday. It was like 'flu with nausea. I drifted in and out of sleep all day and slept all night.

Woke up fine on Saturday! Hope it doesn't spread.

Drink, drink and drink lots - water, fruit juice, anything to keep liquids up.

You poor thing. .

Hand Foot and Mouth doing the rounds here.

I do hope you will feel a little bit better soon. Take is easy please.

Oh poor you, it sounds dreadful . Sorry I can't advise on the duration of this horrid sounding flu bug as none of my family have had this (she says, touching every bit of wood within reach ).
I do hope you're feeling better very quickly

There's a lurgy doing the rounds here. The symptoms sound the same as you describe - hacking cough, sore throat and ears, hanging on for days, weeks. I haven't succumbed yet but am wondering if that's because I had a flu jab. I live in hope I'll avoid it. It sounds horrendous loopylou and I for one, wish you a speedy recovery

should have been

O M G !!! You poor thing! [cake][boiled egg]

Seriously, try to get nourishment into you. Soft boiled eggs (if you usually like them) porridge - warming and comforting. Just rest, keep warm, and eat.

Be better soon.
