It's a very stubborn virus, and I've been in this position before. My advice would be to go, and try and enjoy. If you're going to feel under the weather, it may as well be somewhere nice. It might turn out to be just what you need. XXX

Hi Poppychat , I have had this cold for going on five weeks and must admit it has really drained me. Antibiotics and steroids helped but didnt get rid of it, stubborn little virus. Just take lots of rest and drink plenty of water. I feel like it is finally going, so hang on in there and enjoy your holiday. Irene x

Hello poppylachat . I expect you are in Madeira now and I think the warmer weather may help you. I know what you mean when you say you didn't think you should go. I actually pulled out of an overseas trip sometime ago because I lost my confidence.

Just take it easy. A day at a time.

Sending best wishes.
