Hope you feel much better soon

*huggles*

Lurgi no: feel grotty definately. In the middle of major Fibromyalgia flareup that is affecting the whole of my pelvis. The pain is so extreme I'm on fentanyl patches + paracetamol + ibuprofen. A cold would be pleasant in comparision.

In the recovery stage after a migraine yesterday. Bit tired and washed-out feeling, but not in pain or sick any more

They do make you feel like you're in the land of the living dead for a while don't they!

I'm virtually all better now.

Sorry to hear you're both in pain KJ and Jod , hope you're feeling better very soon.

That's sweet. Thank you. It will be a while before this flare-up settles down but at least the pain killers are strong enough.

Oh good, at least paracetamols and ibuprofen can be taken at the same time. I'm delighted that this 5-week long headache has finally departed from me.

That's rough. In my case its paracetamol ibuprofen and fentanyl that leaves me in a position where I can sit up for some of the time. Standing isn't too bad and thank goodness for memory foam because at least I can lie down.

Looks like everyone's on the mend!

Mine isn't so bad today.

I'm greatly improved too, thanks very much for all the kind wishes.

Oddball Google "Duragesic". Things are far from "on the mend" I'm just doped up enough to not be pinned to my bed.

Argh, I have caught my mum's particularly evil cold. I only hope it's as short lived for me as it was for her...

Oh I'm glad you're feeling a bit better nood! *hug without breathing on you*

Just thinking that I need some more paracetamol... the feeling-much-better-ness the last lot gave me has worn off.

At least I can have an early night tonight and I don't have to be up till midday tomorrow unless I feel up to the morning service.

Early night is a definite tonight!

Thanks noodle. Not feeling any better today. Haven't slept for several nights I'm aching so much - finally got to sleep at 7:30 this morning & was woken by the phone shortly after . Sympathy from rest of family is nonexistent...it hurts to talk but they keep expecting answers from me.
probably a good thing that I wasn't trying to get to the AL concert today because I don't think I would have managed it

*hugs* I hope you feel better soon Andrea xxx

So sorry Andy and Sarah - and anyone else who's not feeling up to much. I hope to go and sing tomorrow - I have been "viable" only for two weekends so far this year - not a great record!

early night and hot toddy to all

X

Hope you all feel better soon...sorry the family are being so unsympathetic, Andrea...

Not yet...... maybe tomorrow... can but hope!

Oh no, hope you're feeling better soon Sarah and I hope you get some sleep Andrea. Have you tried herbal remedies?

How's everyone today?

I've got it now, well, had it for four days. I keep thinking it's gone, and then feel grotty again. Yuk. It's hard to blow the flute properly when you are blocked up. Theory instead maybe??
Beverley.

Hope you feel better soon x

Ta very much.
Beverley.

You're welcome

Been in bed most of today, which is probably what I should have done yesterday.

Bleh.

Aww *huggles*

I CAN'T SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just steamed my head(!) in hopes it would help, it has a bit but I still feel horrible and being horizontal just makes it feel like I can't breathe

I've got lymes disease..not really the lurgie though. Its not contageous, but it is something I dont really want and cant get rid of...

I've got it now! My temperature was 102 last night! I've never felt that bad before
My eyes went all bloodshot

Hope the steaming worked



Ek, doesn't sound too good! *huggles*

Did you get bitten by a tick? I remember once finding a tick in my leg and ringing the doctor, and he told me to come straight in as an emergency - I felt a complete fraud going straight into his surgery past all the queues of coughing, spluttering, sneezing patients who were waiting for their appointments.......... Fortunately I didn't catch anything from that little b****r but at least the doctor taught me how to take a tick out without leaving any bits behind..........nasty things - I take great delight in stomping on them, drowning them, squashing them, burning them etc when I've taken them off the real cd..........

yes, it was from a tick. I'm quite used to getting ticks because I supervise D uke of Edinburgh Expeds all the time, and last year I worked on the Isle of Raasay which was quite bad for ticks. This one I knew, I had left the head in when I took it out, then I got flu and felt a bit rotten so went and told the Dr I had Lymes disease - he didnt beleive me but I did convince him to take blood and do the tests and he felt a bit bad when they came back possitive.

If I had a tick on me, I wouldn't be able take it off becuse I hate things that are or look like insects. I can't even touch a spider (it lookes like a insect)

It is quite disgusting yes, especially when they have just recently gone in and when you touch it the little back legs wiggle.
I always took them out by twisting them clockwise then pulling and had no trouble prior to this but my dogs vet (they seem to know more than the Dr!) said that you should suffocate them by putting vaseline over them and they will off, or intoxicate them with a tissue covered in alcohol.

Yukky So what's the treatment then??
Beverley, who still feels grotty.

I'm about to go back to bed to rest before my children return from school.
Better than I was. Now just living on tramadol and paracetamol where necessary.
Jo

A bit! Really hope that after I get rid of this cold I don't get another one for SOME TIME!!!!!

Argh another batch of the lurgied!

Sarah - you've had your quota for the next couple of years!

I sincerely hope so!

My mum has had a flu bug and coughed so much she cracked a rib!
My grandad has had a heart attack.
My 16 month old daughter has laryngitis!
And my dog had an operation yesterday.
I seem to be OK though...

Glad you are OK Ellie. Good grief.
Beverley.

Crumbs Ellie! Long may you stay OK, esp with all that going on.

Thank you! My daughter and dog are nearly better now, my grandad is being released from hospital tomorrow and he and Mum should continue to heal slowly!

Hope things continue to get better, Ellie!

I think I'm coming down with something, I feel really feverish and have slept all afternoon.
