Anyone else got the lurgy?

Get well soon!

So sorry for all you folks; I understand that "there's a lot of it about"....

(I haven't got it yet... I think I should leave this thread, it might be infectious!)

I started with it on Christmas Day and felt dreadful. I have coughed so much that my insides are sore. We have family coming at New Year who I haven't seen for a couple of years so I really hope It's gone by then.

Lurgy here also... horrendous productive cough,throat feels like shard glass in it,temp up and down.. homemade lemon juice,honey& cinnamon..one paracetamol at night time...

No lurky yet but was worried about catching it a few weeks back when I had to have a MRI scan. Unfortunately you would have to cancel it if coughing or with a streaming cold..

Hope you feel better soon, I had it the week before Christmas, still coughing and sneezing, just not so bad. It’s one hell of a cold.

Me! In bed with iPad and radio 4.
Not used to being ill.

Another lurgy lurker here. Have had the monster sneeze/sore throat thing for weeks, then on Christmas Day it was accompanied by d&v. The 'Festive Season' for me was spent sitting on the toilet, holding a bowl and sneezing. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Me too , my nose started to run yesterday and quickly turned into a blocked nose with sore facial bones and puffy eyes . I'm going to snotter my way to the shop to get some of your magical Night Nurse, Paddyann !

This lurgy business is very catching yuck

My DS has had an awful cold the entire time we have been staying with him. He has been sneezing forEngland. We have shielded our noses and kept down wind of him. If we get away without catching it I think it will be a miracle.

I have the most awful streaming cold,or I did have until I bought some Day and Night Nurse capsules from the chemist.By the second dose my symptoms had disappeared...it was magic! I didn't take any this morning and lo and behold I'm streaming again.That'll teach me ,back to the pills.

Exit thread quickly, Don’t want it....

Lurgy, now that's a word I've not heard for a long time. When I was growing up as a (barrack brat) we used it to cover most illnesses.
Hope you are feeling better soon Izabella .

Oh yes! Just recovering but managed to do Christmas between coughing and sneezing. Feel fine now,10 days on but still coughing occasionally. Sudafed worked well but gave me a dry mouth. Hope you feel better soon
