On the couch

The ‘above the neck’ cold that is ok to exercise with upgraded itself to a full on fever, aches and fatigue, as well as scratchy eyeballs and throat, and nostrils like open faucets. I have had to call in sick to work, and retire to the sickness couch. It’s better than the injury couch, anyway.

I know I’m feeling better, because I’m a bit bored now.

Keep on running you lucky virus-free people!

Another parallel...

You and me both this week. We've had a fever ripped through our household; we're all at it.

Glad to hear you're on the way up though. Sickness is pretty rubbish. It got 1-star on Trip Advisor from me.

Sending you ktsok PaulS83 both lots of healing wishes! And my secret recipes: freshly squeezed lemon tea with honey and cayenne pepper. Yup you heard right, cayenne pepper. Tastes awful but works for me almost every time.

Enjoy!

Hope you’ll both be feeling better soon!

Thanks CBDB. I have made a recovery!

I too use cayenne chilli pepper in a hot drink when I’m poorly! Also turmeric, ginger, lemon and honey. And I make a large pot of chicken noodle soup with lots of garlic, ginger and chilli. Gets a proper sweat on.
