    Xmas Flu

    Started to feel ill boxing day afternoon thought it was a hang over, then during the night it just came on, put me in bed for 4 days now, totally lost my appetite which has never happened before, vomiting thought it was on way out but b*stard seems to be coming back again. Didn't work on Thurs, Friday and today, cant afford more time off.

    Anyone had it, is a virus going around, how long have others had it, misses is coming down with it as well now ?

    No, I haven't. (Famous last words )

    However, just about everybody else that I know has been struck down with similar symptoms.

      Yep... I've got it, a few mates have it, my Mom's getting it, my Dad's getting over it... even SA's got it, I think...

              I got away with it this xmas, but... for the previous three years I got hit repeatedly, so maybe my immune system is tougher this forth time around.

              I had the same symptoms as you last time, thought I'd got over it then bang, right back on my knees again. Really not pleasant and seems to knock you off balance for months if you get hit really hard by it.

                I had it before Christmas, fortunately. Better now.

                    Aaaaaa...chooo!

                    I was OK over Christmas but developed a bit of a throat and itchy, stuffy nose in the last couple of days. Doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Nothing like flu, in my case.
