Still not feeling well ☹️

[Yumz199725]

I do feel better then I did on Friday! But still feel sick, no appetite, and sneezed so much gave myself a headache 💔☹️. How long does it take to feel better from the flu??

[Happyrosie]

if it really was flu - not just a bad cold - could be several weeks. I’ve only had it twice, both times in my teens/twenties. First time about five months, second time a week.

[Yumz199725 in reply to Happyrosie]

I looked it up symptoms of flu and cold and with a cold you not sick 🤮, I'm certain I had the flu four years ago but it was way worse I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks because I hadn't had my j*b, but this time I did have it and I still feel lousy last time I had it made me feel like this and made my teeth hurt 💔☹️.

[Happyrosie in reply to Yumz199725]

It’s good that you’re writing here - if flue is at its worst you wouldn’t be able to ! So you must be on the mend - hooray 🤗🤗

[Yumz199725 in reply to Happyrosie]

Yeah I know I'm definitely on the mend just not as quick I would like! 😅. My mum and dad's wedding anniversary is coming up on Sunday and I wanna be well enough for it I still have to go out and buy them a present haven't been well enough to go out though x

[Dyllibobs in reply to Yumz199725]

[Yumz199725 in reply to Dyllibobs]

Thanks xx 😘

Order something online. Amazon does next day delivery.

[Yumz199725 in reply to Qualipop]

I would but what they want is from primark x

[Qualipop in reply to Yumz199725]

That's a nuisance. I'd love a jumpsuit that Primark has but I can't get there and do NOT Trust husband to buy clothes. Don't think he even knows what a jumpsuit is.

[Yumz199725 in reply to Qualipop]

I know what you mean x I find sending a picture of it to there phone helps I did that to my brother when I wasn't up to going to town to get something from primark.

[Qualipop in reply to Yumz199725]

Husband can't and won't learn to use a smart phone. He has an old flip phone with no camera.

[Yumz199725 in reply to Qualipop]

Oh wow that's annoying x

[Harveyone]

Hi Yumz maybe few weeks to recover from flu.But I hope you make your Mum & Dad's anniversary.Your doing great Yumz stoop to conquer that means take it easy.X

[Yumz199725 in reply to Harveyone]

Thanks hun x

[Hidden in reply to Harveyone]

I find inspiration in that saying thanks I'm going to note it down for my own current situation 👍

[Best2]

hi Yuma , if you had norovius there is lots of it around at the moment it may take a few more days I had it last weekend and it was around 6 days of feeling really rough but I’m a lot better now thankfully! Hope you’re resting and wishing you well real soon 🥰

[Yumz199725 in reply to Best2]

Thanks hun x sorry to hear you been unwell too. I'm hoping to feel better by Friday ready to go shopping on Saturday.

[Hidden]

Have you seen medics abt this Yum

Hope you'll soon feel better x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Hidden]

I haven't cause I've only been ill since wedensday x if it was longer then I would.

[Deejay62]

Hi Yumz the flu does take up to a couple of weeks sometimes so keep warm and dehydrated x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

I'm trying to keep warm but I keep getting too hot and I need to have a bath and wash my hair but I feel too rubbish x

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

You probably have a fever 🤒 you poor thing. Hopefully it will pass soon x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

I wouldn't even know cause I lost my thermometer I have been taking paracetamol, I feel sick after eating even if I eat really slow, I really hope it passes soon x hate feeling like this!!

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

It does sound like you have a temperature. If the sickness continues ask to speak to a doctor or call 111. Sometimes if the cold is on the chest it causes a chest infection x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

My breathing been good and I'm not coughing just have to keep blowing my nose gone through so many tissues filled up a whole bag. I feel a bit better think some of it is side effects from sertraline x

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

That’s good it means it’s coming out and not settling in your body but it will take some time to disappear. Hot drinks are good especially honey and lemon with ginger if you have any x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

Yeah it's good I just wanna be better so fed up of being in bed 🛏️😔. I've tried having honey and lemon together makes me feel well ill. x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

Just feel tired now x

Got my cat looking after me 😂 aw x she hasn't left my side all week.

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

Ahh bless, she’s so sweet. They always know when you’re ill. She’s looking after you 🥰

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

Yeah she does aww x she like a 1000 degrees lol so I have to keep throwing her off my bed lol

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

😂😂sounds like me with my daughters cat she looks at me jumps on my bed then runs off scowling at me😂

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

🤣🤣🤣

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

She did something well disgusting on my favourite blanket I had literally just washed it and I had it on me for like an hour and I could smell this gross smell on my hand and when I looked there was this poohy stain on it lol x

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

Maybe she didn’t clean herself properly after she went toilet. That’s all you need when you have no energy 😞

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

Yeah she is old it's happened alot she gets so comfortable she has a little accident so I have to put it in the wash now x

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

Ahhh bless her. Have you been able to eat? Try dried toast tomorrow if you have bread x

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

I have been able to eat just very slow and small amounts of food was happy I ate burger king for lunch and managed to keep it down cause on Friday I had McDonald's and that's when I was violently sick x

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

Oh no!! then after that you got sick with the flu. You poor thing. How as your heart been?

[Yumz199725 in reply to Deejay62]

Yeah it's been ok a few palpitations but that's probably cause I reduced my verapamil cause my cardiologist wanted me to stop it for a week but I thought its best to reduce it first and see how I get on x

[Deejay62 in reply to Yumz199725]

Also your body is weak at the moment x

[JeremiahObadiah in reply to Yumz199725]

Maybe try very simple, non fatty food. Burgers sound a bit rich for your stomach when you’ve got a fever. Try toast with a scrape of jam on it perhaps?

The suggested foods after sickness are ‘BRAT’ , I believe. Banana, Rice, Apple,Toast. Not all at the same time!!

[Trapper10]

That's how I was feeling thought my partner had given me his cold from previous weeks till he said yours has been different turns out its covid again feeling bloody terrible.

[Noodlesalad]

Bless you. It's a bit like asking how long is a ball of string. We all recover at different times from the flu, colds and so on. This is the trouble when we're not well we just want to get better quick but we have to let it leave out system the way it will. However I would say viruses have a mind/time of their own. You could ask your GP just in case there's anything they can suggest.Stay warm, get well soon.

[Yumz199725 in reply to Noodlesalad]

Thank you x

[Plum53]

Sorry your not feeling well, I think when I had it it lasted for two weeks then I felt better after that. Hope you are soon on the mend. X

[Pembrokeshirelass]

Hi YumzI do hope you continue to improve, & feel much better really soon 🤗. Don't fret about getting your Mum & Dad an Anniversary present - I'm a Mum & the best present my children can give me is that they've come to see me, and that they want to spend time with me 😍 there's so much chatter, and we always have a good ol' giggle (the grandchildren do help with that 🤩). I'm sure your Mum & Dad will just be very happy that you're well enough to be there with them - you can always get them a present at a later date 😊. Have fun xx

[Yumz199725 in reply to Pembrokeshirelass]

Thank you xx ❤️

[maggie80]

Hi, I had flu in the 70's. Every bone in my bod ached. It was something I'll never forget. I wouldn't have thought your symptoms were flu. It sounds as though you have caught some sort of a virus. If I were you, I'd go and speak to your nearest chemist. They are very good.

[Yumz199725 in reply to maggie80]

They can't do anything for a virus can they x?

[maggie80 in reply to Yumz199725]

Hi, it isn't anything serious. Watching the snooker in York last week. Quite a few had the same as yourself. One of the best things for a soar throat is salt water. Salt and boiled water. Let it go lukewarm. Hold your nose and gargle. Gargle 2 or 3 times a day. Honey,lemon juice and a little warm water. Good for the chest. See how you go.

[theonethatgotaway1]

couple of weeks at least. How longs it been?

[Yumz199725 in reply to theonethatgotaway1]

It will be a week on Thursday x

[Smitty1956]

Hi, Yumz199725,

I was just thinking about you and hoping that you are finally feeling better. It’s been a few days, so I thought that things may finally have improved.

Wishing you the best! ❤️

[Yumz199725 in reply to Smitty1956]

Hi aw thanks. I didnt have a very good night and i feel really hot and sick. I have a nurse ringing me today x I'm certain I have an ear infection.

[Smitty1956]

So sorry to hear about the possible ear infection too! It sounds like you aren’t really feeling much better yet. Hopefully, the nurse may be able to help some—hearing what is going on and maybe with a prescription.

Try to get rest/sleep—maybe some hot tea with honey—and maybe a relaxing Christmas movie.

Sending you a virtual hug and wishes for a quick recovery. ❤️💕
