EddardStark Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I would class myself and pretty resilient and able to shake off most cold and flu viruses pretty quick but for the last week Mr and Mrs Stark have been struck down by a nasty little bugger of a illness. Everything we have tried has been ineffective. I think we are seeing a bit of a recovery today but its been horrible. I am sure its something to do with my age. I had a flu jab in October as well :-( Edited December 30, 2017 by EddardStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 In my experience most folk who try to tell me that they have the flu, don't. I'll bet your misses is just getting on with life as normal and just feeling a wee bit under the weather. She probably isn't going on message boards and whining like a big Jessie?

Toepoke Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Does seem to be a very resilient strain going about. My missus has been struck down with it for the entire festive period. Likewise she had the jab, I didn't and have been fine. Time to crack one open, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 About half the folk in my work seem to have been in bed with it for the whole holiday. It's like The Stand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan2020 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 most folk who think they have flu, don't have it If you have flu - then you are not getting out of bed - totally kills your body - think i have only had this once, which was earlier this year - sleeping 24 hours type thing my mother's cousin died of it, due to it impacting her heart - hsband woke up to her next morning, and she had passed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I've had flu once in my life. Holy feck. I was as fit as a butcher's dog at the time. Lost a stone which i didn't have to lose (those were the days), slept for days on end, physically sick, mouth ulcers, constant pain, generally feeling dreadful, totally run down and unable to get out of bed. I can see why it's a real threat to older and more vulnerable people. Took me a few weeks to get back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well my missus did get told by the doctor she had flu, but I think you're right it's a generalisation. She's certainly not got influenza. I've heard it said that unless you can't face getting out of bed even if your house is on fire you don't have flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others, think I've had it once about 3 years ago. Literally in bed for about a week and needed the Mrs to help me stagger to the toilet. sore nails is what I remember. thought I was going to die one day - lost all sensation in my fingers and was struggling for breath. Nice lady at NHS 24 told me I was hyperventilating anf to calm the feck doon But like you, if people off work one day say they had the 'flu' I'm all over them like a rash.

DoonTheSlope Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I've felt like a bucket of shite the last two days Sore head and sore throat, throats that sore it hurts just to even talk. Woke up this morning and my bed was ringing, I must have been sweating like Simon Weston at a BBQ through the night Not that it'll keep off the graft. I've already been off work twice the last year with genuine health reasons and I'm fucked if I'm taking more genuine time off when there's all these potential away friendlies on the horizon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke up this morning and my bed was ringing, I must have been sweating like Simon Weston at a BBQ through the night My local pub in Perth had a guy who had a terrible facial complexion and everyone just referred to him as Simon Weston. Behind his back of course because we were horrible cunts I admit. But the pub got a new barmaid in. She was the most stupid idiot I’ve ever been served by. Incredibly dumb. She kept calling him by the name Simon. The guy kept wondering why the fat cow kept calling him that. Then it dawned on the poor cunt.

Ally Bongo Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Got it this time last year when i went back to work on the Thursday after the holidays The only time i have felt worse was after a 4 day binge with the football team in one of our weekends away to Rhyl where it would seem i poisoned myself This was similar Started feeling crappy on the Sunday night and my bones were awfy stiff and found myself stretching a lot trying to get some relief Went to bed and after an hour or two had to get up for a pee As soon as i got out of bed i started shaking uncontrollably and didnt have the where with all to sit down on the toilet - ended up pishing all over the bathroom Back to bed and shivered and shook all night All through the next day i was dog tired as i hadnt had much sleep but no matter how much i tried to catch up i had a splitting sore head that wouldnt let me All i could ingest was water Went to bed early totally fvcked and woke up shortly afterwards absolutely soaking - right through the mattress Had to get up and change the bed By the time Tuesday came i started to get the cold symptoms - snottering, bunged up and sneezing everywhere Took me till the Friday to feel any sort of better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not until you see his pus up close you realise how rank it is. It looks like it’s been on fire and some cunt’s put it oot wae a golf shoe.
