Bad times ..... Got sent home from work with flu symptoms and a really raw throat :( ....that's why I have been quiet all day as been tucked up in bed fast asleep.

Hoping it is just man flu and not some bazaar result of stopping smoking. I rarely catch anything due to a white blood cell over production which nips anything like this in the bud!

On a positive note not invested in my ecig at all lol!

Aww poor you, man flu is not nice and an e-cig is worse than a real one when you have a sore throat I've found. sounds like the same bug that I've had and people at work had too. Starts off with all sorts of weird aches and pains that move around to all the ageing bits of your body. Me and someone at work were discussing out symptoms last week haha, and the weirdest thing was even though we had it a week apart we both did the same thing - at one point when we were all snotty and sick of blowing our noses we sniffed up - OMG, when I did it I screamed out in pain and the girl at work did the same and described it as though someone had driven an arrow through her eye. So watch out for that bit Al, don't sniff up too hard - it sooooo hurts. My poor little 8 month old grand-daughter has it at the moment, teething with 4 teeth all coming through at once, a cold, a cough and to add insult to injury conjunctivitis too. :(

hello, how are you now? If it's any consolation when I had that cold, after spending all day constantly blowing my nose till the poor thing was all raggey and sore, it just stopped abruptly at 10.00pm and that was the end of that, never heard from it again :)

Oh no your poor grand daughter x

in reply to Pinkiezoom

she looked so poorly with her snotty nose and her sore puffy eyes, she looked like a little boxer who'd done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.
