first of all happy newyear guys and gals. Am i the only one to be struck down with the mother of allcolds this holidays ,,i usely only get thesniffles for a few days but this year i seemed to have been crippled by it ,my head has been constantly full of cattar and my throat has felt like i ve swollowed glass , i dont usely like to moan about my alements but it has stopped me going on my bike numerous times .has any body else been affected like this ,i have started to think it may be a mutated strain of the swine flu that was floating around the back end of last year
