Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

I have once again caught a virus doing the rounds at the moment. Probably the worst one I've had this winter too (I sound like I'm specialised in them now!)

Headaches, colds, sweats, chills, sore eyes, chest pains, non-stop sleeping, not had more than a few slices of toast in four days, fainting and a chesty cough.

Rubbish! Not how I expected to start 2008. I'm guessing I'm thankful that it wasn't the winter vomiting bug. So anyone else want to share their their tales of sick bugs with me?

[Andy B]

I had that between Christmas and New Year and gave it to my missus as well, she had a week off sick.

No food, too hot, too cold, skin aching, breathing toubles. Sounds like we had the same thing. It was a nightmare.

May I recommend some asprin and a lot of chicken soup (Heinz) as the best remedy.

[Bumble_85]

I'm perfectly fine. It's a bit chilly though. Ben says he had a bit of a runny nose.

Ben - the imaginary friend?

[sebdevlin]

I'm slightly sniffley and housemates hannah and katie have the dreaded pox so are in bed claiming there ill. I think its just an excuse to get out of there turn on the cleaning roster.

Are you the man of the house?

[sebdevlin]

Are you the man of the house?

Well I live with 3 girls so i guess so although we live in a democratic household which doesn't work as they have 3 votes to my one.

Rawwwr I'm off to build a fire and some wild animals or just lust after the girl in front of me in the library

[Andy B]

Been there done that and I even got my own bathroom as well which was a damn sight tidier than the girls one!

[tamba]

I have a nasty dry cough, chest feel's like it's going to explode, throat is sore, bunged up nose, cannot sleep because of constant coughing.

The thing is for 2 month's i took vitimin c tablets so i did not get a cold.

This is the first time for year's that i have had a cold !!

[Grace]

Luckily, I haven't been full on ill, but I keep getting what feels like the start of flu. I think it's just that I'm not getting enough rest, but it's really irritating; I'm not ill but I don't feel completely well.

[Andy B]

Oh I hate that, when you feel like crap but not crap enough to warrant taking the day off so you have to be at work/school/college/whatever feeling like rubbish.

I'd rather be full on ill, at least then you get a day off rather than some half arsed illness.

[Bumble_85]

Ben - the imaginary friend?

I wish.

[Kelly]

Nope, I'm perfectly fine.

[Jono]

Nope, I'm perfectly fine.

Well that's nowhere near mentally stable compared to the rest of us.

[Kelly]

Yeah, of course. :doubt:

Oh my god, i thought it was just screwed up nervous system playing tricks! I have the same thing, I feel really light-headed, my legs feel really light and my concentration and brain skills go out the window. It really is quite an odd thing to have.

I called in sick the other day at work because of it, and then got reported as i went to boots opposite work to get lemsips... might be getting a disiplinary i wish i kept the receipt.

[Lucinda]

I'm avoiding everyone I can in order to not get this winter vomiting virus, it sounds horrible. With no bathroom at the moment, and only 1 between 5 of us normally, we'd have serious problems if we got that. Not to mention we've all got important exams we can't miss.

Having said that, I rarely get ill around this time of year, in fact I can't remember a time I've been ill after November or before February, I'm more one for getting ill in spring and autumn.

[Ad]

Does a mouth ulcer, caused by biting the inside of cheek - which is actually rather painful, count as being ill?

[Andy B]

No as it's self inflicted. Like a hangover, there's no sympathy cos you do it to yourself, you do and that's what really hurts.....

I've been ill with a mild case of pneumonia since saturday whcih has meant its been impossible for me to go online.Ive been asleep most of the time on drugs and even now can hardly move or speak,but thank God I'm able to be online again.The doctors say I might even be well enough to do some work by next week,but I can wait...

[Ema]

I have the plague.

And an Exam tommorow, not good.

[E*F*4L]

im better now

[KingTutsWWH]

I have a slight headache and a twinge in my left little toe.

[Timsk]

I'm thankfully not ill, but everyone else around me seems to be... Either flu bug or terrible sickness thingy - very, very light cover at work.

[Mike]

Runny nose... Slightly light headed.
