Who else has got a cold?

Ok I woke up this morning feeling really lousy. I have a headache, blocked sinuses, a sore throat and a not to happy tummy. I can't get warm either. Feel rotten. Who else has got a cold just now - and what do you do to cheer yourself up when you get sick? Has anyone got any strange "remedies" they swear by?

I'm touching wood here because i havent been hit by it, so i hope it stays that way.

When i have cold or flu though Emma i like to lie in peace and quiet, no fuss from anyone and just drink plenty fluids, ibuprofen and plenty of rest because my mum always used to say sleeps the best form of medicine when your like that.

Hope you feel better soon, and you Fran

I had a cold 2 weeks ago which I only started to get rid of on Friday last week, and then on Sunday I started to get a sore chest and felt rotten. Then I went to docs and have a chest infection! I feel so ill Ive been off work since Tuesday and I have lost my voice through coughing so much. I just feel sick.
Not much makes me feel better TBH. Nurofen is pretty good at dulling the pain (head, chest etc) so I usually stock up on that. I keep getting nose bleeds though, not sure how this is related..?
I hate being ill at this time of year because you just have so much to do and it's a total inconvinience. aaarrrghhhhh.
One thing that does make me feel a bit better is the way the cats have been coming up and snuggling on the bed with me when Ive been sleeping.
Get well soon everyone who's ill!

I have had a cold & a cough for 2 weeks. I felt miserable.
