Weird bug

I'm sorry to hear so many of you have this but slightly relieved. I too have had a lurgy with not really any flu symptoms but oh boy do I want to sleep!

Its this winter's bug I fear Luckygirl. Hope your'e soon feeling better. the older I get, the more convinced I become that rest, rest and more rest alongside increased fluids in the shape of lemon and honey is the way to go.

Yes, I also had intermittent muscle aches.

DH has it at the moment . Anything he has goes to his chest, so on top of everything else he is exhausting himself with constant hacking coughing.

I have similar: tiredness, but also intermittent muscle aches all over. Any one else have the aches?

This sounds very like the way I have felt for the last few weeks, don't think I have a temperature but certainly feel 'wiped out' most days and have perpetual rhinitis.

I have had all this before Christmas, still not sure if it was just a virus. I also suddenly stopped a daily drinking habit that was getting out of hand so perhaps it was cold turkey. But I felt unwell, under the weather, poor appetite, indigestion, but no cold or cough symptoms. It lasted a good 6 weeks plus.

Buffybee if the sore throat is just in the morning like on waking it can be acid reflux

Temp still up - it is very persistent. But I am sort of carrying on with naps. I have OH to look after.

With me it lasted about 2 weeks, sleeping most of the time.
Then I was left with a sinus infection which was painful, but now cleared up b'h.So about 3 weeks in all.
But still more dozey than normal.

I have just had four days feeling rotten. I have had no symptoms except a complete lack of energy and a slight headache. I have been sleeping 10 hours a night and napping during the day.

It seems to have gone now but I still find anything requiring too much effort tiring.

I take Loratadine, luckygirl. It's non drowsy. Perfectly safe to drive.

My daughter is complaining of the same Urmstongran and Lucky, she has had a permanent sore throat, worse in the mornings for about three weeks but had no cold or flu symptoms, no runny nose or cough.
And she feels shattered all the time.
I suggested sinus problems but she says it's not that.
I think it's some weird virus going round because she works with a lot of women and there's quite a few with the same thing.

Ah - so I am not alone. How long does that go on I wonder?

Anti-histamine an interesting idea - but I wonder if it might make me even more dozy than I already am!

Try taking a daily anti-histamine. I start in February because that's when I often get sore throats, runny nose etc., even though I don't have a cold.

That was the same as the flu I've just had.
Shivering then temperature shooting up like a kettle coming to the boil.

My daughter (38y) Luckygirl was telling me exactly the same yesterday when I saw her! Said she felt wiped out.
