Would you believe it!

Although vitamin C doesn't stop you getting colds, the jury is still out on whether it can reduce the severity/duration of a cold. It might be worth a shot.

Can you take the standard array of pharmaceuticals (paracetamol/ephedrine/etc)? To be honest, I'd just blast myself with that all day.

I alternate paracetamol and ibruprofen every two hours. Two tablets each time. Tends to work.

Yep got some paracetamol and ibruprofen, I'll see how I get on.

Lots of vibes for your yuckyness to do one >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh no! Dose yourself up with loads of meds and get an early night then hopefully tomorrow you will feel normal again!

Oh no that's rubbish..!

I always dose myself up with nightnurse... at night gives me a great night sleep and after 2-3 days i always feel sooooo much better!

I've never tried Night Nurse, I could do with a good nights sleep but I'm worried I'll feel groggy in the morning.

I wish I could just go home and completely relax tonight, but I've got a fair bit on and probably won't settle down until gone 9! It's typical!

I have never felt groggy the next day... my whole family use it lol.. but it's worth a try

Thanks Muesli. I'll get me some this afternoon.

Yep this - and hot orange

Awww I feel your pain - I was off work last week holiday and ended up with severe sore throat, lost voice for 4 days and then Sat till yesterday full head cold! its been yuck

hopefully you will get the cold part after you get back

This is what I'm thinking Ash, I've got that much to do tonight and then I won't stop from tomorrow morning until we get back Sunday night, which is when I expect it to unload on me. Ah well hopefully with all these remedies and meds it won't be as bad. Hope you feel better soon too.

Hope you get through the weekend lovely

Honey, lemon, hot water and whisky always works for me. I don't know if it's particularly medicinal but who cares! ?

Night Nurse works miracles. Don't get the tablets, get the proper green liquid (not available in supermarkets, only sold behind the counter in chemists), dose yourself up with the full adult dose (20ml) and go straight to bed, try for an early night too.

Thanks Guys, Hubby has just called me and told me he's got the Night Nurse syrup so I'll do what I have to do tonight jobs wise, and try and get an early night.

Oooh I hope the NN works, ruddy typical that you get ill when you have stuff planned ?

How rude! hope you shake it off sharpish Claire!

Gutted Claire, hope you feel better soon

Hope you're feeling better this morning.
