Nasty Bug - anyone else got it?

[The Nappy Lady]

Last week my nearly 2 year old was very off colour - sudden temperature rises, miserable, throat looked sore, runny nose etc. hard to be sure when they are that age exactly what is wrong of course. Just a very hard week with her not herself.

Then, yesterday my 6 year old spent pretty much the entire day in bed, and slept all night too, and she's off school today with a sore throat and generally floppy, and I started last night with aches in my neck and back, sore throat, headache etc....

Someone at work says their son had it last week too, so I guess it is a bug that is doing the rounds...

Waaaah, feeling very sorry for myself and wondering if anyone else out there has had it too, and how long it lasts in an adult versus a 20 month old....

Not sure if the same thing - I think I have hayfever on top - but I started with a horrid sore throat on thursday, lost my voice by saturday, inredibly snotty today - generally felt rubbish but have had a lot on so had to keep going! Baby sb started on the snot today....

I have a theory that the entire bug is allergy related - like pollen overload almost.

My head is pounding, not great with small screaming/wailing infants around (hate being ill as a Mummy).

Hope you feel better soon Snowboarder.

Possible - had brief moment of respite immediately post piriton. Excited that piriton ok whilst bf. And also it came on fast after getting back from seemingly allergy free hols. Hope you feel better - if it's just a bug this is a pretty long and severe one for me.
