I don't think I have the actual flu (because I am out of bed) but I feel about as ill as I ever have before. Including sore throat, searing head pain, shivering although well wrapped up, and coughing up unspeakable phlegm. My 7 year old son is the same. I have been ill since 11th December, with a few days respite over last weekend.
I've been ill since last Wednesday. Started with a sore throat and headache, then very high temperature, vomiting, problems with breathing, coughing up untold gunk and could barely get up to get to the toilet. Stayed in bed for 4 days and have recovered from all but the horrible cough, snotty nose and sore throat in the past 2 days.

Nurofen Cold and Flu is the only thing strong enough - had to take 3 of these at a time just to get to work and felt I was not really in this world - It was flu and I had to take one day off in the middle when I slept for almost 24 hours continually.


Lasted 6 days in total from sneezing and shivering to painful chest cough. Worst ever.


People who say that flu means you cannot get out of bed may be right .... but with the strongest Nuerofen you should be able to if you absolutley have to, which I did have to.

Yes it was the worse flu I've ever had and was pretty scary when I started getting breathing problems. It loosened up and that was when the gunk started coming up, but I had contemplated calling an ambulance at one point because I was really worried.

I had flu-like symtpoms for a few days, got really bad yesterday so I dosed myself up with all sorts but to no avail - had to take a day off work. I slept for nearly 19hrs and dragged myself out of bed once or twice to use the toilet but it took a lot out of me. I honestly can't remember being more ill. Still not convinced it was proper flu though as I am over the worst of it which seems to have only lasted a day or so. Now I just feel like I have a cold. Perhaps I had a man-cold...

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
