Re: Why Do I Get Flu at Christmas?

I started with this blooming bug on Saturday afternoon......just a headache at first, went to bed for a couple of hours thinking I would feel better when I got up......wrong! Achey, sneezy, shivery and snotty......I am dreading this going onto my chest.
For all fellow sufferers out there.....keep taking the tablets, honey and lemon and get some rest. Get better soon everybody.

Re: Why Do I Get Flu at Christmas?

I hope I am not tempting fate by saying this ---- I have been cold free for over 3years and last had flu over 2 years ago.

I think it is due my winter hibernation practice. I live alone and have all my supplies delivered. I do venture into public places about once a fortnight in winter on average, so I am not exposing myself to all your germs

It suits me (because I like me )-- I am quite content with my own company. Hermit ?--- Recluse? --- maybe --- I call it Peaceful

Sweating gets toxins out of your body, that is why saunas are so popular.

Turns out I dont have flu anyway, i have tonsillitis. I dont know what I feel about tonsillitis yet, I keep wanting to be sick though which I hate, and its uncomfortable to swallow yet I feel impulses to keep swallowing, probably because i'm needing to drink alot to stop myself getting dehydrated.
I'm not often properly ill but tonsillitis isn't very friendly, I wish that I did have the flu but I guess I'm not so fortunate, though the lovely doctor says I should be better by xmas eve. Lovely Jubbly

Its hardly using up alot of energy lying in bed with the laptop. Maybe I have never had the flu then, I dont recall ever being bed ridden by the flu.

Re: Why Do I Get Flu at Christmas?

I haven't got flu but I have got a real stinker of a cold at the moment.

It started yesterday, sneezing, nose dripping like a tap, eyes running. I feel as weak as a kitten. Everything's a bloomin effort. I think I'll get myself off to bed now.

Hope everyone else who had bugs is better now.
