I've had flu for the past 3 days and I have never felt so ill in my life, I've got a high temperature, sickness and diarrohea, sweats, cough, sore throat and ears. I can't eat or sleep, I really have never felt so ill before, I have no interest in anything, have hardly picked my laptop up.
I rung the doctors this morning and she said its possible I have swine flu but its too late for tamiflu now which is the antibiotic used to treat it as that's only effective in the first few days and to drink high energy drinks and if I'm no better by monday to ring them back.
I've not took the kids to school today, I just have no energy to walk. The house is a total tip and I have loads to do, I just hope it goes soon.
I'll see you all soon.xx

Hope you feel better soon! I was laid up all over Christmas with a nasty flu!

Make sure you get lots of rest, drink lots and lots of fluids. When you think you have drank enough, have more!

Sending healing vibes to you Ruthy. Nobody needs that when life is busy enough. I hope it's only the regular flu. Well, I know what that feels like even - I felt like I was hit by a truck - It was the worst

Oh, my. So many people where I work have been sick. Rest as much as you can, and, as everyone has said, fluids, fluids and more fluids.

Sending healing vibes your way.
