I had the worst cold I've ever had the week before Christmas.
Shingles. It's really getting ma goat.
Had that nasty cold that was going roond before Christmas - what a stoater it wis - though I managed to struggle through without calling in sick to work. Just got over it before the new year. Did notice we had loads of folks off with it. But then maybe my determination to soldier on is why I now have shingles.
Started feeling odd on new years day. Just knackered - falling asleep and for unusally long periods of time. Then the pain started. Seems to be in my throat, ear and rhs of my face. Saw the doc on the 4th. I've had this before so I figured what was happening. Halfway through the course of anti-virals.
The weekend was absolute hell there. Still foccing hellish. Really foccing getting my goat.
Shingles can be a nightmare.

I was rough over most of the Xmas holidays i had, about 10 days, then thought it was all getting better about 2 days before returning, then as soon as i'm back at work i'm ill again.
On two separate days, a week apart, i was at home watching telly then just randomly felt queasy then unexpectedly threw up, about 3 or 4 times?
Now i'm on antibiotics for a chest infection, and have a tickly cough i simply cannot get rid of that is making me cough so much i've strained the odd stomach muscle a few times. Plus the coughing at night in bed is keeping me awake at all hours making me knackered during the day.
The thing is i was talking to 3 people at work yesterday and they've all had the same problems as i've described too, so it's still doing the rounds. :groan
