This time of year. Every year. Since the dawn of time. It’s the RSV virus. I used to work with premature babies on the neonatal units. It hospitalises them, clogs their lungs up and can potentially kill them.  Grown adults. It’s a cold-like virus. It won’t kill you. It may cause a gastric upset. I shat through the eye of a needle the last day and on my return from the Dom Rep and sneezed and sniffed like I was withdrawing from a massive coke habit. Drank gallons of water, ate nowt for a couple of days and had a load of Imodium. Job done.

Imodium. I used to avoid it thinking better out than in. No!! I’m simple terms, if you’re eating/drinking and it’s straight out the other end your gut is like a cement mixer. Imodium stops it churning and absorbs the water and stops you ejecting everything. Actually better for you. Helps stop the dehydration.

Or ignore all of the above and try the bloon/stairs method

 

Makes a load of sense this. As soon as schools returned it starts. Lad has completed one full week this term iirc.

Continually coughing, snotty, retching, tummy ache, sore throat etc. We've all had it but in his case it keeps lasting.

Seems to think he's superman at times though as he won't wear enough clothing and will then complain he's cold. Nob.

Good aids by the looks of it, blood taken and need to send a sample... 

Anyone with good hands and funnel want to help? 

He did mention a TLA virus, but that quickly I didn't catch exactly what he said

Just a word to the wise. You only need a little bit - you don't need to fill it to the brim! The lab will not thank you for it! :)

Glad you got seen and hope you're on the mend!

How do you actually feel today in comparison to a few days ago?

I've gone from feeling 2 to 5

I'm still ill... 

Was in Faro at the weekend, and I've not eaten anything since Sunday. Spewed my ring all day Monday, and as I told Roy, I could shit through the eye of a needle. I feel like my ribs and kidneys have been twatted with a lump hammer. I think my headache is due to dehydration, dunno about the shivers and cold sweats though. Took some paracetamol and ibuprofen to counteract the headache, and I was tripping my nuts off, and not in a good way. 

I feel about 30% human... What the fuck is wrong with me, and how long does it last? Work wont allow me in until I'm keeping food in for 24 hours. I think it's longest I've ever gone without food, and a good few years since I've been booze free for this length. 

Physician, heal thyself.
