You must feel pretty rough and sorry you have been sick, that alone makes you feel rough. I suppose your body knows what it is doing to get right, Paracetamol sometimes makes me feel sick and can upset my stomach so perhaps only take them when you have to. Hope you feel bit better tomorrow. Love and prayers. Xxx ps have you got a temperature?

Aww Keep warm and hope you are not sick anymore. Keep up the fluids, not cold water, warm from the kettle and small snacks and nibbles. Perhaps you will sweat it out tonight. Let us know how you are tomorrow. There are lots of people sick with bugs right now. We didn’t get much sunshine this summer to build us up. Xxxxxx

Sorry to hear you’re feeling horrid at the moment. I think I remember you said you got your j*bs so hopefully those will kick in and make sure your symptoms do not get worse. Have you taken a test for c*vid? You might be eligible for c*vid 19 treatments on the NHS if you do test positive.

Get well soon x

I was going to ask if you have tested, there’s lots of it about round us.

Thanks hun xx I don't have a c*vid test so I wouldn't even know and there like 10 pound 💔. Yeah I had both one in September and the other in October oh wow imagine if I hadn't I would probably be in hospital 😮.

My local pharmacy sells them for £2 I think. I brought a whole box of them a while back in case I needed them for the winter as I can’t always differentiate between the flu/cold and c*vid. Anyway, the positive is that you are v*xxed so hopefully any particularly nasty symptoms will stay at bay x

Yumz199725 in reply toTos92

Oh wow ok I will ask my brother to get me some from pharmacy on Monday xx

oh no that's how I been feeling x but I'm certain it's a cold or the flu. I haven't eaten properly in days tried yesterday and knew I would regret it so I'm not eating anything today. Sorry to hear you been feeling under the weather aswell 😞❤️.

Ginger and peppermint are good for stopping feeling sick. Try sips of lemon and ginger tea or peppermint tea. Put a little real honey in it for energy. Try nibbling a ginger biscuit. One of the anti sick acupressure points is - two fingers in from inner wrist. Press hard. If it hurts you have the right spot. One can even buy wristbands with a sort of stud to put on that spot for car sickness.

Hi Yumz 199725

I had swine flu.

My GP gave me some oinkment and said it should clear up in a weeeeek. He saved my bacon, and stopped me getting the chop. 😅

Oh dear, I saw your post yesterday asking about cold remedies, sounds like it was leading up to your latest post. I do hope you're feeling better asap. I was thinking norovirus too, I hope not. Keep warm and hydrated, especially with being sick now too. Wish your dad to get well asap too.

Hiya , you must be feeling rough, I suggest you have a word with your GP or 111. As you're immunocompromised I would have thought that you'll have pathology and possibly an antiflu drug.
