Flu

[louiselux]

I had a toffee waffle and some tea and now my head aches slightly.

I've had the flu, my doctor said. I don't wish it on anyone. It has a lovely wide range of symptoms! I have never had such an upsetting frustrating cough in my life, the sort where it wakes you up all night long and your coughs begin to make other people look around for the sealion that got in... Cough medicine is useless against a cough like that, I found. I put my faith in honey, fizzy vitamin C tablets and hot marmite. Not all at the same time, I hasten to add. I like to think they helped.

Anyway, it's going. At last!

*hugs* glad you're feeling better.
I sympathise. Me and a friend both came down with 'proper' flu after a con and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I think I was hallucinating at one point. I had the same sort of cough as you by the sounds of it - but nowhere near as bad as my friend who coughed so hard he tore the muscles across his breastbone o_O

Oh no, poor man! That does sound bad. Erk, my sympathies if you had this cough too. It's too horrible.
