Miserable oldgrannlyn!

You sound really poorly with this, grannylyn65. Have you needed a GP home visit?

Certainly sounds like poor doings! Stay cosy. Keep up the fluids and take it easy.

You must really be suffering judging by the way your post reads.
Let your friend take care of you and stay under those covers. Get well soon.

Poor you grannyl it sounds as though you're feeling really wretched Stay snuggled up in bed, drink lots and hopefully your body will 'sleep it off'. Sending and to cheer you up

Poor Grannylynn. There's been a virus round here that has absolutely floored people. They have been completely wiped and slept for days. Some of the staff where DH works have been afflicted but fortunately he seems to have avoided it.
Hang in there, and get well soon.

Hope you feel better very soon grannylynn. There is some horrid stuff going around.

I had a viral "thing" in Jan grannyL it really knocked me for 6 so you have every ounce of sympathy from me.
I do not get colds or the like normally so was quite shocked at how I felt. I had the best part of a week mostly in bed ,but had to stagger down to get H something to eat mainly cold as sadly he is not able to do much, not that he can't, he is unable to realise what to do. He can't help it so I have to get on with it.
For once my S pulled his finger out. Do let friends help when they can and rest as much as possible. Even though you can't believe it now you WILL start to get better.

Blergh! Sounds bad, glynn. I hope you feel a good deal better soon

and grannylynn and my hopes that "this too will pass" and you pick up soon x

You, miserable, Grannylyn? (Thinks to self ... Mischievous, yes, grumpy ... never!) I would be soundly fed up too! [ flowers] I hope you are feeling better today! xx

Get well soon, grannyl. I sympathise as I am currently nursing a bout of cystitis. However the pharmacist told me that he can prescribe antibiotics if it is not better tomorrow.
Sending you ??☕️?

???☕️??? (adding absolutely anything that might help)
That sounds utterly miserable, hope you're feeling better very soon ?

Honestly can't say when I felt worse, GPattended and agreed sounds like flue, but no advice except for usual! The thought of a few more days is horrific ??
Appreciate the thoughts of you all. Living alone I am used to but is pants when one is ?

What a shame grannyl Sleep as much as you can, I hope you start to feel better very soon.

GP ,on the phone, said much the same to me gl lots of fluid
rest and ring again if you have any trouble breathing.

Yes, I too found that reassuring ann Not. ..?

Hope you feel much better soon Grannylyn. I had a virus a few weeks ago and was floored for almost 2 weeks and still feel amazingly tired most of the time.

grannylynn, It's horrid being ill but even worse when you live alone. It's good that you can contact a friend for help. Sleep it off if you can, because sleep, as Shakespeare says, is a great healer. ((((hugs))))

Sounds like the same thing I had at Christmas - I'm normally one of the 'just get on with it' brigade but I spent the week on the settee under my slanket mostly asleep. Hope you soon feel better

Get well soon Grannylynn. I also have some viral illness and am tucked up in bed. I'm lucky as hubby looking after me. I am very rarely ill but I feel very shivery and have a cough. Still I'm sure I'll bounce back soon!

Grannylynn So sorry to hear you are feeling so rotten. There is a lot of it around unfortunately. to all those feeling poorly at the moment - including me!
My bug has had three stages: firstly an absolutely streaming cold, second stage a sore throat and hacking cough with gunk, third stage is nausea, tummy ache and runs and all accompanied by headache, muscle and joints ache
You should try coughing with the runs! Especially when you don't move fast!
DH said comfortingly, "It will pass." ( - nothing quite like stating the obvious really.) I just said, "Oh, it's passing alright"
So glad to have him around and feeling very blessed. (((hugs))) to all suffering on their own.

Oh Synonymous I do sympathise, but you did make me laugh! We have an awful cold doing the rounds here. I've just about got over it after 10 or so days, but DH is suffering now. He actually is worse than I was (even allowing for male exaggeration) with terrible snuffles and a hacking cough. Hope everyone feels better soon

Thank you Badenkate you have to laugh don't you!

don't make me laugh synom, not good on many levels!!
