One week and one day into a total snot fest. Absolutely nothing is shifting it.
Christ knows where I got it from , not mixed with anyone with the lurgy.
Anyone else in the same boat, anyone got a magic remedy?

Unlucky. Like really, really unlucky. I don’t know anyone who has had flu or a cold this past year. It’s not some particularly bad hay fever?

My eyes feel fine ,so probably not hay fever.

A lurgy apparently went through a local primary/junior school last month in Durley, a number of teaching staff ended up staying home for a week, including a family member.

Yup, we all had something week before last. Both my other half and our teenage son had to miss some days at school.

Anyone else in the same boat,

Yes, I came down with it last Saturday, it went from my head to my chest a few days ago and today I’ve woken up a snotty, sneezy mess again. I’ve been off work all week.

The person I caught it off was down for 2 weeks with it. Fun times.

anyone got a magic remedy?

Anything… please!

Had mine for a few weeks now. Not so bad i cango running and stuff but the coughing up of green crap every morning is annoying.
Def came from school

Went through our kids school and at home,

Wife and kids were a bit unwell, I had aches for about 12 hours.

Sure it’s not cat aids?

Lemship Max, my go to for when I’m really feeling crappy! Don’t buy the own branded stuff as they have less of the main ingredient from experience!

Other than that a shed load of sleep.

haven’t had any of it since last February. At first I thought it was the nasty one that was starting to spread west at the time, but it probably wasn’t.

Yeah it was the most free of colds/man flu I’d ever been until the kids returned to pre-school. It was still better than if I’d been mixing with people at work, but week before my first night out with friends in a looooooong time and it strikes. Full of snot now.

Sounds like when I had covid.The worst thing was the green phlegm turned to white phlegm and kept coming up for six months.It also irritated my asthma.I,m sure you’ll all be fine though!😀

Yip, had it here for a couple of weeks. Sniffles, green mucus being coughed up. Multiple negative PCR tests hopefully rule out covid

Staying at a hotel. Had to stop between floors to catch my breath on the way back to our room. Mrs Zip stormed straight up.

Glad it’s not just me!!

Snotty, grotty and achy since Thursday. Had a sore throat initially but that’s gone now. Multiple lateral flow tests negative.

I wear PPE all the time at work so not quite sure how I caught it. Might have been on a group road ride last Tuesday.

Felt better yesterday but rough again today. Sounds like I’m in for 1-2 weeks of it 😔

Was talking about this the other day. Ever since this pandemic nobody has flu/colds anymore. I certainly haven’t and I get the worst Man Flu ever. I know plenty of people who claim to have had Covid, even multiple times (yeah right, chin on). But nobody has a normal cold anymore.

Had to stop between floors to catch my breath on the way back to our room.

Best of luck for later.

I seem to have Hayfever this year – for the first time since 1998! And that was the first time I’d had it ever.

But nobody has a normal cold anymore.

Myself and others in this thread would clearly disagree.

This cold for me has been the longest ever, its stuck around for about 2 weeks of a sore throat, to about 20 tonnes of snot to a chesty cough.

Not covid unless this is a new variant that escapes detection.

Tory govt for ya.

Had to stop between floors to catch my breath on the way back to our room.

Indeed, and for the rest of the guests! Tricky business being ‘normal ill’ these days.
