Please can anyone tell me how much longer this will last? Started with, what I thought, was a simple cold 10 days ago. Gradually grew into a horrible hacking cough that leaves me light headed and dizzy; blocked sinuses; headache and aching limbs. I've never slept so much in all my life, apart from the coughing fits that disturb me and half of the neighbourhood.
Has anyone else had this and, if so, how long was it before you started to see any real improvement? I have to go back to work tomorrow and I'm dreading having a coughing fit there, due to a couple of embarrassing "episodes".

I thought I'd escaped it but had a hacking cough yesterday and woke up this morning with an awfully sore throat.

DD is in hospital and now I won't be able to visit her. angry

Tesco delivery tomorrow!

Merlot it's such a nuisance isn't it. Hope you're better soon. We need some warm sunshine.

At least you know it's not the stove doing it. Guess that's one thing.

Ha Ha! DH is lighting the big beast early today. I think I'm like a horse. At this time of the year I need sun on my back.

Hope everyone feels better soon.
