The perpetual cold

[BliarOut]

Anyone else had this? Starts off as a chest infection/cough and just won't shift The cough/phlegm has subsided a bit now and it's headed north into my sinuses. Must have had it at least two months now, how much longer can it go on for?

[pano amo]

yep, I've counted 4 colds since Jan but I think it might be the same bugger coming back again and again. I don't recall feeling this consistently st over such a long period every in my life. Whatever is floating around out there is one hell of a bug. Seems everyone has had it

Feels like the same bugger mutating and generally putting up a fight. It's certainly persistent

As I'm off on my hols in a few weeks I was wondering about getting some anti-b's which goes against my usual principles.

See, if you were Scottish, this wouldn't happen

[BliarOut]

Pah, this cold would kill a Scotsman on sight

[RemainAllHoof]

Stressed? Not getting much sleep? Not exercising? Eating crap?

[BliarOut]

None of the above

It's not that *I'm* struggling with it any more than anyone else, it's just that this one's a sod to shift.

[RemainAllHoof]

Something's not right!

Too bloody right, took the gf's eighteen year old son and my thirteen year old daughter two months to shift it too. The GP said yup, it's a bugger

Two months seems to be perfectly normal for this one.
