Poorly ill

[dawng1]

Hi every1. Been away for a while. Internet been down. All sorted now. Sorry to hear people are ill wi horrible cold. My hubby just coming down wi one since last night. He put holiday in for tomorrow aswel, to help do last bits for sunday. Thatll be an excuse not to do much. He will have to drive me around tho. I seem lucky enough not to be unlucky to be getting a cold last couple times every1 has had one. I been taking them chewable vitamin c tablets. Maybe theyre helping????? Theyre the better tasting of the other meds i take. Anyway, hope every1 with a cold right now are feeling better by the big day.

I take multi vitamins every day, doesn't stop me getting colds though. Have to say that this is just a bad throat, head and stomach.

Will probably take tomorrow off to make sure it goes as all of us in the house have gone down with it.

Thankfully, shopping is all done now.

I hope you're all feeling better soon.

I have to disagree about paracetamol being as effective as some of the cold remedies. If I only take paracetamol it takes the edge off any pain, but something like Nurofen or Sudafed make feel so much better. It's not psychological either - OH agrees and he's a cynic!

With a headache, it has to be paracetemol - rarely get them but that does it for me everytime.

Anadin Extra Soluble is the only thing that works for me if I get a really bad headache. I don't buy brand names for the sake of it but if I find something that works it's worth paying extra!

Hubby's paracetemol does for me.

MIL's for me, she always has a ready supply of paracetamol and ibuprofen so hubby always gets us some from her x

It really is very sad when you get sick right by the time when there are big celebrations in the area because by then, you are limited to a few stuff to be able to do and participate with, leaving you at the losing end of it all. Though, there are still ways to enjoy them, but on a superficial level only. Enjoy good company, stories and laughter that is passed around, and that could already make up for it.

Still feeling iffy today but going into work as there's only me in at 7.30!!! All of the household suffering with the dreaded lurgy.

Thankfully, Christmas will be it's usual quiet self and we'll be at home all weekend.
