.... is an absolute belter .... Anyone else been stricken yet?
First tinglings on the back of the soft palate Saturday afternoon, and mild sinus/fever.
Stupidly decided to ride a fast 40 miler on Sunday morning as first outing on new bike - kill or cure, actually was mostly OK and rode quite well. Bit shivery when got back, showered, ate and went shopping with Mrs FF.
When we got back I was totally floored, no energy at all. Watched Apollo 13 (wa-hey). As the evening progressed, more sore soft palate, sinus, blocked nose, headache, shivers, sweats. No appetite.
And so it went on in mild variation. Mon/Tues I had a nose like the dripping tap, couldn't move without a tissue under my nose to catch the drips. Tues/Wed the nose cleared-up, but the chest started to rattle and little sign of the fever abating. Thurs morning is the first time I have ventured out of bed. I still have the basic symptoms, but they are milder today.
Usually I kick these things in 48 hours, but this seems very persistent and has washed-me out completely. Not eating for a few days hasn't helped, so I'm trying to redress that now. I do need to go to work tomorrow.
Anyone else had it or is it going around elsewhere?
