Finally copped a dose after avoiding it for nearly 4 years. So far it's feeling similar to the worst flu I've ever had.

Tell you what, this is a bugger. Still struggling with it, 15 days after I first came down with it. Coughing up gobs full, thick head and sinuses and absolutely knackered most of the time. There's usually not a day goes past where I don't walk at least 8-9km. I've done it once in the past fortnight - done 400m today!Doesn't feel dangerous, I'm just fed up with feeling 30% off peak at very best. But I can see how it could be dangerous if it got much worse.Oh aye. Worst bleeding thing, I've not been able to taste any food or drink for a fortnight. It's like just eating foam.

It's like just eating foam.Had it since Thursday , thought I'd done well to avoid this thing for the last three years .The cough is easing now but jeez I can't put one foot in front of the other without feeling as though I've run a marathon .No taste and still aching .Weirdly it didn't dawn on me what it was at first , I thought I was coming down with a cold until all the other stuff kicked in , took a test and hey presto .
Me too , I've done physical jobs most of my working life , never bothered me , the one I've got now is the easiest I've had which at my age is just as well .But I feel it none the less , I couldn't do any of the previous jobs I've had today .The winters too are just getting harder and harder to get through .
