At home.
Got loads of aches and pains.
Thumping headache.
Feel sick.
Running a temperature.
Can't even be bothered going to play my guitars.
I have the pox.
:(
-
It's Pig Flu!!!!!
Run for the hills everyone!!!! :o :o :lol:
Being ill sucks, eh Mark?
-
Hmmm...
It's at my sons school - as much as I love to fly in the face of convention, I think that I'll have to accept the piggy-pox diagnosis at some point...
At what stage do I grow a snout and tail?
-
Err Lurgie.....
Sorry to hear you're not long for this world.
It's been good knowing you and rest in peace, knowing you are going to a better place. :(
(You'll be OK as you're obviously just a feckless malingerer) :lol: :lol:
-
Damn shame.
Cash in the attic?
-
You only need to worry is the Mrs says she fancies bacon butties. :)
Sorry to hear you are sick, I hope you get better soon.

Talking of the pig pox - both me and the Mrs have been feeling rough for ages - months almost.
NEway, I felt really cr@p last night, two nights running, so I finally went to the nhs web site to check out what one should be doing/thinking...
I ended up taking the online symptom test. I answered the questions as truthfully as possible, using their help/info buttons. Now bear in mind I feel cr@p, but not enough to stop me working/functioning. What do you think the fecking thing came up with? (for both of us):
"Dial 999 immediately.
Ask for an Ambulance.
Tell the ambulance controller... xyz"
:roll:
So I watched Dr Alice Roberts talk about hovercraft and learn to drive one, that made me feel a bit better, then I took some paracetamol and went to bed...

I did a "How happy are you?" test once and I told me I was severely depressed and should seek professional help....
But feeling rough for months doesn't sound good - maybe you've got something like a very slight gas/carbon monoxide leak in the house?
(I know that's a bit of a random guess without knowing any of your symptoms :roll: )

Before that, you'll feel a sudden aversion to pork scratchings and Frazzles.

I have actually wondered that, but I don't think that's it - it's less than a year since the agent/landlord got a British Gas test done, and we've had doors/windows etc open for months with the weather.
Also, we're talking various fungal infections, colds, etc - not convinced all of these symptoms are usually regarded as attributable to CO and gas leaks... :lol:

No, probably not :lol: .
Coincidentally, on the fungal infections front, I've just got over a mild attack of Athlete's Foot, which I haven't had since I was 18. Also been getting swollen feet in the hot weather, which doesn't hurt at all but looks bloody freaky.
Could it be that we're just getting old, Andy? :(

Me too. Some of you may remember my swollen uvula thread (way back in Feb I think). After that I had all sorts of odd stuff going on. Temperatures, cold sweats, rashes on my chest and face, loads of phlegm (lovely!), a cough, blocked ears and a general cold. Maybe I was patient number 1 for the pig flu and didn't know about it!
I'm okay now though - just the tiniest hint of a cough. Unbelievable run of 5 months of not feeling 100%. God knows how I got my partner pregnant. I'm such a man :o

Yeah, that's what we're getting (apart from the pregnancy bit), oh yeah, and we've got the athletes foot as well, Philly :(
- I've just had a thought, is it something to do with being on the BKP forum? :o :?
Or... mebbe... has Tim accidentally got his hands on a dodgy batch of Alnico IV... great for tone, but we've all got uranium poisoning or something now.... :lol:
-
sorry to hear that. get well soon :)
-
we have it at my school. sadly they decided to stop closing them - i was hoping for an extra long summer holiday :(
-
you should just adopt northern ireland school holidays. much handier.
-
It's apparently in my town now and a 51 year old woman has died.
I expect I'll be fine though as I usually miss out all these bugs that are going around (plus I just finished up at school so I am unlikely to come into direct contact with the virus (and I know that it is infectious as opposed to contagious but it would have to be a hell of a wind to send it over my way.).).
-
All this panic and media attention makes me wonder how many people die of 'normal' flu. I imagine quite a few, yet there is no mass hysteria about it splashed all over the papers and on tv news channels.
-
I have read that 'normal' seasonal flu results in between 1,000 and 6,000 deaths in the UK per year.
-
I couldn't imagine dying from normal flu. You sweat off your temperature, sleep lots and take medication. After a good lie in bed and a night sleep I reckon you'd be fine.
-
You normally die from flu from things like viral pneumonia - the flu makes you weak, your lungs are damage and a fill up and before you know it the goop in your lungs gets infected and the grim reaper comes for a visit.
I had it seasonal flu earlier this year and had an infected lung - I really did feel like I was going to die - and, apparently, without taking antibiotics to treat the secondary infection in the lungs I could have.
