Has anyone else got this ‘Supercold’?

I’m now in my second week of this. It’s not COVID definitely but it’s just settled on my chest as everything does. I’ve just coughed and coughed for 24 hours a day, sitting in a chair in the day staring out at the rain, feeling utterly dreadful and miserable. I’ve had all the muscular pains in my chest from the coughing but now I’ve got a sharp stabbing pain in the left side of my tummy when I cough and it really hurts!

I’m just really wondering if anyone else is suffering from this to the same extent? I cannot get to speak to the surgery at all, I know it’s only viral and they can’t do anything but I do feel a bit abandoned.

I’ve had a niggly cough since having a viral infection (I’m assuming) in September. A PCR test was negative.This then morphed into the full-blown Supercold.

Quite apart from the sheer awfulness of the main symptoms, I strongly object to the fact that it’s making me cry - and the tears are not coming from my eyes! shock blush ?‍♀️
