Christmas Lurgy

So it seems, as per every sodding Christmas, after the works party, I now have lurgy.. headache, sore throat, dizziness, lethargy etc... Every pigging year this happens, I'm going to stop being social and become a healthy recluse!
 
Know what you mean, I had it last week for a few days and this week SWMBO has got it.

I think the cat's got it as well.
 
An Indian friend put me onto this.

Half a lemon squeezed into a mug of warm/hot water every morning. Apart from the obvious vitamin hit it's supposed to be good for the skin, digestion and other things too. I looked it up online and there's quite a lot of supportive info.

For your throat, make a tea of sliced fresh lime, peeled sliced fresh ginger and honey. It's delicious and good for the throat. :thumbsup:

Similar was hit with man flu the other week, could barely move 3 days off work :(

Stu's remedy works a treat, always what I make (without the ginger and lime, just lemon and honey) and if i can't hot Ribena

:thumbsup:
 
I'll try the remedies, thanks. I'll also try and Man Up for DR Nick ;) No chance of time off for me though, we're short staffed.

Likely viral - paracetamol, ibuprofen, man up :poke:

LOL, my doctor says "virus... man up and piss off" no matter what you go in with... tempted to go in with my arm hanging off one day and see if he says it's probably viral.
 
Had it all last week, headache, head felt heavy, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, couldn’t sleep, lethargic still went to work every day. Had to cancel some meetings because I was concerned about coughing and sneezing all the way through and spreading germs.
Dosed myself up 4 times a day with Lemsip Max cold and flu, hot lemon drink it did ease the symptoms, still got a bit of the sniffles now after 9 days but hopefully will be gone by the end of the week
 
My wife came back from the chemist with this stuff saying they recommended it>



1000mg of VitC...... I've refused to take it in case it's just a giant piss take :? !
 
Iv had the lurgy from Sunday onwards.......

Had Monday off was THAT serious

Christmas partys :thumbsdown: for geting sick
 
You can imagine what my life is like at work these days working in a surgery.
I haven't even been to Christmas party yet..but I have managed to avoid getting the lurgy so far. I'm sure it'll strike as soon as we get some days off, in usual form perfect timing.
 
Lurgy yeh. Well mine isn't that bad, but started as sore throat then pounding head last Saturday and I've been bunged up lots today. And coughing. Dry cough then yucky chesty cough. Urgh I hate being ill. :P
 
Bless you all for your consolation, sympathy and utter irreverence ;) lol... Today I have been mostly up all night with a throat like glass shards, one functioning nostril, snoring (so I'm told and I have the bruises to prove it) and a teeny tickle cough. As we're a week off Christmas (or just under) I'm hopeful most of this, with a healthy overdose of medicine, will have subsided.
