Morning!

I've been having fever like symtoms since friday night, its been terrible! Missing work today because of it.
My head is aching along with all of my body and i'm so tired. There is also some sore areas on my body like kinks in my neck and back. My fever becomes at the highest 38.1 only at night for some reason.. Right now it's 37.5. Do you ladies know anything i can take (just ordered catafam) to help feel better i'm pretty miserable.. thought about going to the doctor but me and my OH both think that they won't be able to help much since it is probably just a fever..

Any experiences like this? Hadn't had the flu in a long time.

TIA

Yikes! Yeah must be going around.. I hope you all get well ASAP! It's not a good feeling at all. I can barely lift my head from this pillow to type!! Just got my cataflam and took one tablet.. i really hope this helps.. panadol is just not cutting it for me.

Same here! I have had it since Thursday and as of last night my fever broke and the aching body stopped. the only thing that worked was the Paracetemol and Nurofen as prescribed by the pharmacy. I now just feel absolutely exhausted and dizzy. Could really do without it as my children are 3 and 1 so its not been fun. Good luck and get well soon.

Oh man, 7 days!! I can't afford to miss work for that long. I'm glad you feel better though, I couldn't imagine being sick that long you poor thing. Maybe i should go to the doctor? I'll be going to welcare.. But i can just feel they wont be able to help as usual. Thought about trying city hospital but they are too far and i don't know if i will be able to do the cab drive. It's weird because usually when you have the flu your stomach wants to vomit (i thought).. but i haven't had that yet until last night when i woke up to vomit twice!!

I just had some kind of rheumatic flu and bronchitis, and it totally knocked me for a 6. Cataflam (or voltaren), paracetamol and neurophen, as freckles has said. and dr gave me anti biotics, but think that was for the bronchitis, not flu thing. My fever was always worse at night, and really the only thing that worked was massive amounts of sleep and rest. had it for 7 days really badly and after that fine. Hubby feeling fluey now.
