this is the first time in 12 years i have gone sick from work!
I had a 4 day head cold last week - suddenly came on in a day and made me feel ill as 10men.
Having a shower felt like having 1000s of needles hammered into my skull - just thick nose crap now though.
Sorted by stopping training completely and 10 - 12 paracetamol a day and extra lots of coffee.
Had a week off... been back a week.. only just made it through today. Coughing's been so bad I've finally pulled the muscles in my ribs. Anything more than shallow breathing is painful and even the prescription painkillers don't seem to be doing much yet (only started them a few hours ago).:thunbdown:
Manflu came on yesterday pm - drowsy/sleepy/heady/sore throat etc etc...slept plenty since, including most of this morning. Missed headtorch run last night plus will probably have to delay a Rombalds recce for a few days :thunbdown:
I'm normally quite proud of my ability to not get ill, but after burning the wick at about 6 different ends at the weekend I've succumbed. Hopefully a day in bed on the lemsip will sort me out - 3 days to recover fully for KT!
Think I'm starting with MANflu. Classic symptoms are all in place: sore throat, tickly cough, elevated temperature, feeling of impending doom re tomorrow's Trog :closed:
I've been feeling a bit grotty for the last two days, I'm trying to ignore it but I suspect I've been over trtaining in the cold weather.Quote:

Not so this time. I was pretty much wiped out for 10 days and probably as ill as I've ever felt. My chest in particular was a real problem; I suspect because I'd spent so long out working hard in very cold air. I managed two short runs Wednesday and Thursday this week and am feeling just about right now, but that's a full two weeks since the symptoms first showed.Quote:

Wiskey, Lemon and honey in a large dose or two or THREE.
May not clear it but you will sweat and sleep.
Don't worry about the hangover that's a down side of this treatment.
That's the best idea I've heard this week. Pure genius! :DQuote:

I fell rough as houses today. Chesty, congested and I've got a dry tickly cough. My knee hurts too :closed:
Me too mate, without the knee, feel like this................Quote:

Feel slightly improved today, must av been birdflu:rolleyes:
After a mild dose a couple of weeks ago, had a steadily increasing bout this week culminating in all out manplague yesterday and today, struggling to breath whilst running today and coughing up some right monsters. Day of rest tomorrow, been lucky though, not had a cold for over a year, i blame all this changeable weather.
Hopefully the manflu's on the retreat now, just as well, i'm crap at being ill!
Glad to hear you're on the mend Steve. Mine took nearly three weeks to shift properly :thunbdown:
Got a real strange bout of MANflu. Achey, tired, headachey symptoms with the rather alarming result that I left half a steak dinner last night and unbelievably some of my beer too. I feel awful!
There's no such thing..............Quote:
