I have had it. It kicked in hard on friday afternoon and pretty much rendered me immobile until today. No runny nose, but raging temperature, headache from hell, dizzyness, very painful cough. I could not get from the sofa to the bedroom for 4 days
Wife and son have it but not quite the same, not so severe but with blocked noses. On christmas eve, we were all so bad that we had to ask the neighbours to get some shopping in for us.
Very similar, this is day 4 in bed. Hard to keep my eyes open but can't sleep properly either! I've been peeing in one of those plastic bottles they use in hospital! It even hurts when I do that too!Wife and son have it but not quite the same, not so severe but with blocked noses.

I came down with it on Friday night/Saturday morning.
Was up until 0700 Saturday morning, then slept all day Saturday, then the same Saturday night and Sunday morning. Currently wide awake sweating my bks off, but cold at the same time. Also had the sts last night.
Throat no longer hurts that much, getting a runny nose now though.
Fingers crossed I'm better soon. Took Sunday off work, properly not going to go in today, but not starting until the evening so will see how I feel once I finally get some sleep.
Getting a bit bored now!

I've had Ebolaids for 4 weeks now.
started as a phlegmy cough and a runny nose, as stated by others not severe enough to stop me doing stuff, but a pain in the arse.
then it hit on the 18th, SWEET JESUS did it hit. sweating like Gary Glitter on a school bus, coughing up gallons of lung butter. I thought i was going to die. made worse by a day with the in-laws and my hyperactive 3 year old. Christmas day was not fun at all. I'm getting through more tissues than a hormonal teenager.
A diet of Gin and Toblerone seems to help, suplimented with lemsip strepsils and ibuprofen.
i find that Tesco's home-brand Lucozade, the orange flavour is the shizz, 'fakeazade' has twice the sugar and works wonders.
my second elixir involved muesli topped with banana milkshake instead of semi-skimmed.
hoping that it fks off soon. it's getting on my tits now.

fk me this cheered me up with a laugh, such a poetic way with words Sir
Still got the aches and have been coughing like a barst for the previous three days.
It feels like I've ruptured all the muscles in my chest and stomach and like Bruce Lee's "Fiding widout Fiding" style, I am trying to do coughing without coughing which has left me making pathetic little "Urr hur hur" noises whilst not actually achieving anything.
Imagine Louis Spence doing a bad impression of a seal and you'll have the idea
