Lord v Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's been terrible. For the first time ever I had more than 4 days off work. Ended up on antibiotics and steroids to shift a chest infection. First one I ever had, dont want another. Green running from every orifice. It was terrible.

It was terrible. I had a chest/cold about a month ago and all my lads . They all said it’s the worst they’ve ever been. Pounding heads, noses blocked to the point of struggling to breath . I was in my car gasping on my inhaler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time that's ever happened!.....today feels a bit better....maybe? 🤒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoolinDalton Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Same here, myself, wife and son had a cough for a few weeks. They managed to shake theirs off but mines still lingering, although very rarely. My wife's friend was round here 2 days ago, sat in agony. She coughed a few times and I asked her if she'd had any coughing 'fits' to which she said yes. I suggested she go to the docs as I thought she might have damaged her ribs. She went yesterday and it seems my hunch was correct....a broken rib! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Been some unpleasant viruses around this season. My wife and I have both had a cold type virus that when you think.is just about gone starts again. Lots of friends have been feeling worse with it and some have had chest x-rays, inhalers and all sorts of pills, still can't get rid of it. Only know if a short bout of the vomiting bug, hope it's not spreading too far. But with mirfern life and so much travel.itll be nationwide in no time.

WestonSalop Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thanks lads - always nice to have something to look forward to - my cold developed on Sunday. Felt bloody awful until I woke up this morning and now not too bad. Reading your posts it seems I'm going to develop bubonic plague or something in the next couple days. Picking up on someone else's point - its interesting that my contact with the outside world for the last 7 days has been minimal and can't quite figure who I could have picked it up from. Family all bug-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The trouble with life today is we all move around too easily. You could be sitting on the bus next to somebody who has just come back from the other side of the world. I know I keep banging on about this but the biggest cause of cross infection is the supermarket trolley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
