[Closed] Anyone else bed-bound and circling the plughole?

Probably a Chromebook virus 😉

I think Mrs Stoner had it in France last week

[get well soon]

Sounds exactly like a cold. Treat it and it will be gone in a week or do nothing and it will be gone in seven days.

But paracetamol helps as well as hay fever tabs to dry up the eyes and nose.

Man flu. A serious condition. You will probably die.

Or monkey aids.

I welcome death's warm embrace.
Mrs stoners bedside manner has moved from sweet-hearted tender care, to lip-curled disdain. I fully expect the next mug of lemsip to be thrown at me.

Cat aids

The bad kind 😥

Its going round, very long recovery - 22days or so

Enjoy

Its amazing how much viruses loose their strength when they cross the gender barrier

22days!?!?
That's a whole armful!

I've had something similar, I can't quite put my finger on it.

#pray4Sasquatch

Healing vibes big man! 🙂

But, y'know, just in case this goes on for longer than expected...the key's in the same place isn't it?

The keys are on a chain round my neck. You'll have to dig up my corpse for them.

Poison isn't kicking in as quickly as she expected then

*fetches 2 shovels for veterinary and me*

There's something nastier than your average cold doing the rounds here at the moment- I got off pretty lightly with a week of merry-go-round hot/cold, sneezing/coughing, temperature/shivering, headache/aches, blocked up/streaming symptoms alternating on about a one hour cycle but others have had worse. One guy at work was feverish for quite a few days.

One thing at least 4 or 5 people (including me) seem to have had is a relapse after feeling 'nearly clear' for a couple of days so keep an eye on it even when you're feeling better. Two and a half weeks on and I think I've nearly finished coughing stuff up.

lovely.

20 yrs of norvirus? I'd have lost the will to live along with most of my insides if that were me.

on my 4th week now

am totally and utterly worn out

my lungs have just about given up

I've had something similar, I can't quite put my finger on it.

Oooft!....... a bit of a low blow saying that to Stoner, digitally challenged as he is. 🙂

Can I have your [s]bikes[/s] shed load of on-one gas pipe 🙂

's probably eels

Fourth week for me too, January has been a complete washout, but aside from some lingering back pain from pulling muscles coughing, it's all over bar a tickly throat. Dread to think how much paracetamol I've necked though.

Yep, 3 weeks for me so far and still have a bit of a cough. First few days were awful with a thumping head and feeling well out of sorts. Can't quite seem to shake it off but don't want to get back on the bike and make it worse again until it fully clears up.

Possibly a bit late but

You've got Malvern malaria. It lasted most of lst week for me, & I'm still feak and weeble.
Get well soon, and send me the keys to your van.

Stoner - you'll be rite' in no time.

I've had Labrynthitis for 3 weeks.

The whole room was spinning and nausea.

(Learning to) Walking again and hope to ride in 2 weeks.

Probably lost my fitness after a month in bed and I was riding 50 milers 🙁

Imagine being totally drunk, hangover without alcohol - not very fair at all.

Then after reading posts of fit active people dying of cancer, reminds you not to waste time again especially on forums... off to reorganise my study.

Yep. My girlfriend had it proper nasty - 2 weeks in bed sweating and shivering followed by chest infection. She's gone back to work today.

I've had a head cold (lost my voice last week) followed by three days of headachey-constantly-tired-man-flu.

I've been near death too. Woke up Saturday slightly hungover but wheezing (asthmatic). Sunday it was wheezing and a cough, feeling progressively more rough as the day went on. Monday I could barely move, felt like someone had walloped all my joints with a hammer, I didn't get out of bed all day. Since then I've been drifting in and out of consciousness (falling asleep!) but slowly feeling better.

Thinking of going back to work tomorrow. It'll be a mess after having had cover for the last 3 days. Advantage is I have all next week off (supposed to be skiing).
The charity outdoor swim at 11pm on Friday night might not be a good idea though.

and an apt time to introduce my favourite local too...

people say that every winter.

S'true, but I can only report what I've seen. It's pretty rare we have people out of the office here- we're generally a pretty healthy bunch. We've had quite a few out since Christmas and a couple of others who probably would have been out had they not timed their illness over a weekend.

I've seen him. He did indeed look a priest's blessing away from a trip to the Pearly Gates. 😐 However, he wasn't sick enough not to make an effort in a fetching light blue dressing gown. Thought my luck was in until I saw Mrs Stoner passing in the background.

And yes, she did pass a withering look his way as he coughed and spluttered. 😆

I would suggest a candlelight vigil this evening followed by a balloon release in the morning.

Also had what ever is doing the rounds and am on week two, which is just annoying cough and feeling utterly drained and falling asleep by mid afternoon. Last week was horrible though, cough, breathless and fever, was changing sheets daily as was waking up soaked

Manthrax.

Here's the prescription

HTH.

I'm on week 3 of my cold. Thought I had it beaten after the first week so went for a run, and it hit me again twice as hard. Never been this full of gunk!

I've been on/ off ill since Xmas. Better since 1st Feb but all Jan bar a few in between days proper I'll. bad cold which developed into throat infection which was so bad I couldn't eat and sleep. 2 lots of antibiotics later and I'm better. Lost 6kg though which to be honest wasn't such a bad thing.

It's been carnage here with me on/ off I'll, wife with a bad cold or two and a 3 yr old that keeps coming back from nursery with a different cold and has now moved onto an ear infection. It's never ending!

Day six of the plague. I have it. Wife has it
. Newborn too. Four year old is probably patient zero and gives zero ****s.

*Tired worn out feeling
*30 mins on the phone today wore me out
*Standing up gives me shortness.of breath
*Lost my voice for the first time ever in my life
*Coughed up amazing amounts of gunk.despite it not really being on my chest yet.
*Edit; and sore throat , not quite tonsillitis levels yet but I have high hopes
*2-3 nights of fever

It's the flu 100%.

Week 3 here. Like many have been on/off rough since before Xmas but came to nothing. 2 Fridays back had a sore throats and felt odd, hr sky high. Declined Sat and was in Bed Sun Pm. Got up again on the Thursday-I can't remember ever doing that-massive fever and chest , hacking cough and broken-tired. Gradual improvement until last Sat when I drowned it in whisky and now feel brilliant. Rest of family now have it or a variant thereof.

Take some picolax.
It won't sort it but the cold won't seem so bad.

Hope everyone's got candles lit.

Balloon release scheduled for the morning after his first post. Bless him.

Shitting hell. I've lost the last 20 hrs in a blur of snatched sleep, Paracetamol, pain and hallucinations of leprechauns.

Oddly still no fever or sweats. Am disappointed my body isn't taking this seriously enough.

Even Mrs Stoner has begun to concede I might not be long for this world, but also thinks I'm just trying to get out of getting her a birthday present.

.....but also thinks I'm just trying to get out of getting her a birthday present.

The truth emerges.

And to think I said a Novena for you last night as well.

Has Mrs Stoner started measuring for a new patio?

Has Mrs Stoner started measuring for a new patio?

Got it on 24th Jan probably hit 2/10 on the ****ed scale for a week 6th Feb hit 6/10 and today probably 8/10 not been near bike since , doc said 2 but more likely 3 weeks for it to pass from onset and that`s looking about right, going to have a pootle Saturday weather permitting. Get well soon.

the things you think of in a delerious state:

1) why have no* animals evolved the ability to see infrared light? Surely any nocturnal animal would have a serious advantage if they could process both visible and longer wavelengths? Or would they just be blind in daylight?

*Im guessing here, but I didnt think there were any. Although there are insects that can "see" UV.

2) why does 12 bar blues ake so much musical sense? Is it just to the western ear, or does it makes as much sense to different musical cultures like mid-east, african or asian?

3) why does bending my wrists so folding down my hands, tucking them close into my body like a little T-Rex feel comforting when I have the shivers and am trying to warm up under the covers?

I'm joining the malingerers, spent last night throwing my guts in to the toilet, dry heaves for hours afterwards. I'm blaming stoner

cheers Smith. Sunday symptoms, mon-weds bolloxed, today Im improved a notch, looks like it will take me a week to get back to something functional.

nickc - sounds lovely. But Ive warned you about my cooking.

The last few times I was feverish & delirious my brain dragged up some wonderful early erotic memories that had somehow been lost in the mists of time. So it wasn't all bad.

Stoner:
1. Some snakes have heat-detecting 3rd eyes or pits for detecting prey. I * seem to remember that IR has too long a wavelength for mammalian eyes. However bees and other insects can see UV, not that that's relevant.

2. Dunno

3. It's getting toward the foetal position & minimises heat loss, I reckon. Get well soon

I've been on/ off ill since Xma

Ditto. I had a nasty virus christmas day. Been out of action for weeks now then i got post viral fatigue which has been really,really nasty. The fatigue feeling finally went on monday but still feel really weak and i've lost 4kg!! i now weigh 64kg which isn't good for my build

1. don't need to, cats eyes have loads and loads of rods that effectively enable them to see in the dark anyway, they don't seem to having a difficult time finding prey. No evolutionary pressure..no development

2.It's the chord progression (I-IV-V), sounds "right" to our ears.

3. yeah, foetal.

2) why does 12 bar blues ake so much musical sense? Is it just to the western ear, or does it makes as much sense to different musical cultures like mid-east, african or asian?

Got tickets for ZZ Top this summer. Is that TBBlues or Texas Strut or something else?

1) Piranha do have IR sensitive eyes (to some extent) and use that capability to hunt through the murkier waters that they frequent in South America.

2) Dunno. It's all good though

3) Recovery position is where it's at, just in case you do pass out.

@Frankenstein - I've had it. Bloody awful. I couldn't stand to be indoors. Being out was a world of relief compared to being constrained in rooms with flat walls. Screens as well - unbearable.

But the positive was that riding was the first thing to come back to normal, moreso than walking. So forget walking and falling over - get back on your bike 🙂

Will try that Yak!

Probably not clipped in though 🙂
