Well, thanks for trying, Janet, and for your kind offer, regardless of
how it turned out. I shall keep looking, too. I'm stuck indoors atm
with an horrendous cold and chest infection :~((. If I find St.Geoff's
progs before you do, I will let you know and offer you a viewing, of
course. Unlike you, I read/view things more than once so tend to hoard,
but a loan for viewing purposes could easily be arranged:~).


You have my sympathy. I'm still getting over the same, it's taken for
ever to go.
It came with a very rough throat for which I gargled with soluble
aspirin as they are an anaesthetic, but found that the original Bechams
powders are even better as a gargle.




Thank you, David. This is my third cold and second chest infection this
year, so I'm really fed up. I missed my Hypochondriacs Anonymous
meeting last month, so you can imagine how rough I feel. Seeing the Doc
tomorrow for antibiotics, but I can't have Penicillin any more so it
should be interesting. I think I'll try the Beechams gargle (my
throat's raw now), but I'm wary of aspirin due to my asthsma. Thanks
for the suggestion. Hope you're feeling a lot better now.

I'd been coughing non-stop night and day for a week until sheer
exhaustion forced me to the gp's surgery. I got prescribed a week's
erethromycin, which has actually made the coughing more painful, but I
now feel there's an end in sight as the airways are clearing. Obviously
what starts as a virus can turn into a bacterial infection, so
antibiotics are always worth a try

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Hope that continues and
you'll soon be bouncing around in the garden. I can hardly wait to
reach that state myself, since sleep deprivation (as with you) has
compounded the misery.
Take care of yourself.

Amen to that. Enjoy it when it comes. I fear I shall have to wait a

As they always say "finish the course, lots of fluids and rest". It's
a nasty one and is one of the 'echo' virus type. It takes a long time
to recover. We went down with it over Christmas (got through that thank
goodness) and felt terrible for a couple of weeks with the lingering
cough described. Even now, we both have the odd moment of feeling a
bit blech. Hope you're on the upward path soon.

This is my second does, first was after going down to Devon in Dec. then
this after another visit to Devon, this second bought has been a lot
worse, so it's back to the Dr this morning.
I had the flue jab as always and it's always worked for me, so I don't
know what this thing is, but it's vicious.

Whatever's been doing the rounds down here, it was indeed a vicious
one. It's just such bad luck that you get ill when coming down here for
a bit of r&r. One friend of ours had a bug last summer and only just
started to get really better just before Christmas. The trouble is
that the immune system, once weakened, is prey to so many other things,
too. Whatever we had, it wasn't the typical flu bug and we both had the
jab. It was just a really horrible, debilitating virus that gave us
nasty coughs but we didn't have the awful aching limbs and heads that
usually go with most well-known types of flu.

After much reading of NHS feedback, I'm now convinced I have some
version of whooping cough. Sounds like the NHS are in denial about its
re-emergence
