Re: I don't half feel rotten
Sorry to hear you are not well Mups, I find the best thing to do is to take hot whiskey and lemon with a few cloves in it at bedtime, you will sweat it out and feel much better in about two days, but continue taking it for a week, it’s an old fashioned remedy and has never failed me.

Re: I don't half feel rotten
Poor Mups, I had it over Xmas, it lasted three weeks! Last time I had a proper cold like that was 1996.Vitamin C and Zinc, hot Ribena, fresh air helps to clear your tubes.
Vicks, Olbas, Otrivine nosal squirts help a bit but it's a nasty one!
Get well soon x
PS. Jakers throat sweets are good especially lemon and honey or menthol mint.

Re: I don't half feel rotten
Hello, I'm back, just not in very good condition.I felt so bad last night and this morning I went back to bed and stayed there until just now. I think my temperature is finally back to normal, and the room has stopped spinning, so I hope I'm on the mend.
Thank you so much for thinking of me, all your good wishes have cheered me up no end, you really are a kind hearted lot, except for some of the men who I shall personally come and slap when I feel a bit stronger.
See, you can't get rid of me easily . . x x x

Oi, I'll have you know I felt really bad. I was frightened to stand up because the room kept spinning, and I've sweated about a stone off an' all, and me chest is still sore - cheeky blighter.

Thanks ruthio. I have been making honey & lemon drinks, and taking Echinacea and paracetamol when my temperature was shooting up. I certainly feel better than I did this time yesterday, so I'm hoping tomorrow I will feel well enough to go and collect my dog food else they are going to be getting rather thin!
