Weird shitty bugs at this time of year.

[Jonjon79 13,358]

I never catch these fkn things but, after a quick visit to hospital a couple of weeks ago, something has properly caught hold of me and given me a right kick up the arse - I feel pissed, I've got runny eyes, a cough, snotty nose, really weird dreams, the sweats - it's nothing serious, it's not covid, I'm just out out of direction and, I wish it would f**k off. Normally I put on an extra layer and sweat the b*****d off at work for as long as it takes. 

Because I'm off work at the moment I've been using 2 sachets of Lemsip in cold mineral water. It's like a medicinal gatorade. Also, a good few sips of dark rum, a long walk in fresh air and a sprint up Barbury or Silbury hill when I get there there's a good set of steps at Kings Hill aswell but, some daft tart called an ambulance when I rolled down the last bit a few days ago.

 

I hate regular people and I hate these feckin bugs but, I feel like I've dealt with the worst of it today

Put 2 tea spoons of honey in a glass,mix half a teaspoon of cheyenne pepper, spoon full of ground ginger,half tea spoon of turmeric and a pinch of black pepper together into a paste....then spoon it down you Jon will clear you up in no time...first thing we use in our house if someone starts feeling snotty

must admit that lemsip does nothing for me.

I had something similar in November for best part of three weeks, first few days were worst , I used lemsip with honey and couple of ibroprofen. But it just  alleviates it , best you can do is rest and stay hydrated.

I'm a great believer in Zinc Tablets myself. Honey good for a Cough have a jar with spoon in it by the bed if you start coughing just have a spoonful and no limit to what you can take.

Cheers Arry.

I came down with the same thing the Thursday before Christmas, the wife and kids had it the week before and I thought I'd missed it but no the fecker caught me. I'm blaming the 15 pints of Guinness I had on the Tuesday for lowering my immune system. Lol. Done 27 km up and down a mountain on the bike yesterday so right as rain again.
