I have an awful cold and feel proper poorly. Sunday night was horrible, I went to bed at 9:30 ish, early because I was feeling so wretched, headache, sore throat, hot clammy and weary.. but I could not get to sleep. I was up and down going to wee, I think it upset my bladder.
I was dosed up with paracetamol, Strepsils and good old vick on my chest and eventually dozed off about 12:30, only to wake again about two hours later, went to the loo, and altho I was comfortable, sleep evaded me.. so I read my kindle, and as my eyes closed I sank down into my pillows and slept for about about an hour..then I was awake again, sneezing and my throat was irritating me.
At 4:30 I took some paracetamol and Dh helped me get comfy and I slept till 7.. So what a night.. I am still sniffing and feeling hot one minute and cold the next, a proper fever.
I hate being ill, I think when you're older colds are worst.. altho this is the first cold I've had for years. We think I picked it up on Friday at SW, its the only place we've been where there were people.
I've had to self medicate with ice cream for my sore throat!
Has anyone here in UK had a cold lately, is it doing the rounds?

Poor you, and your husband too, as you will both have had a disturbed night. I hope you feel better soon.
We keep an eye on TV adverts; they are quick to start advertising cough and cold remedies if lots of people are getting them.
Yes, I'm currently poorly! I recently boasted that I'd been healthy all winter - then a chest infection started a week ago! The coughing has lessened slightly, but my chest is very rattly!! I usually get this once a year, in October, but just as the warm weather appeared it reared its ugly head. Day 8 today but still feel poorly.
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so rough. I haven't had a cold lately, but I am sniffing and coughing. I think it is hay fever. I never used to suffer with it when I was younger, but it plagues me now.
We have grandchildren at infant school, so there is always a cold going around.
Poor you. Lots of hot drinks. I make a small flask of honey and lemon juice in hot water. Apple cider vinegar, honey and hot water for the sore throat. Cinnamon and honey, or ginger for the shivers.
There have been lot of nasty viruses doing the rounds. Selfish old men who don’t want to miss their social events and cough over the pub lunch.
I haven't had a cold for at least 6 years, touch wood. If I feel a bit off I find that ginger and lemon tea works better than anything, together with a dose of vitamin C drink. Sorts you out super quick. Feel better soon

That sounds miserable. I hope you feel better soon.
Warm weather colds are the worst. You don't expect it coming and it seems to take longer leaving. Feel better soon.
Aww, that all sounds awful. I often think that Summer colds are worse than Winter ones. It sounds like you are trying to do all the right things, and self medicating with ice-cream is perfect.
So sorry to read you are poorly ... feel better soon.
All the best Jan
Take care and feel better soon!
I'm in the US, not the UK, but I've had an awful cold since Sunday morning and I haaate it!! Same symptoms as you. Isn't it awful?
You poor thing. Nothing worse than those sort of nights. Hope you are better soon.
I'm sorry you have been ill.
Sure hope you're feeling better!!
I'm so sorry you've come down with what sounds like a nasty cold. I hope you feel better, soon.
