So i'm currently curled up on the couch with a stinking cold and a cold sore that takes up half my face!!! Its raining cats and dogs outside to top it all off!!! :eek::eek::eek:

I thought i was doing ok with the stress levels but my body is obviously telling me otherwise and its only 5 1/2 weeks to go!!

Is anyone else suffering any adverse effects to wedding stress????

I'm getting married on Friday :D

Got a throat infection four weeks ago and I still have a slight sore throat first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Also having trouble sleeping.

Adrenaline seems to be taking over now though!

Yeah I am! On my second day off some volunteering I'm doing this week! Horrific cold... and it's still 3 months away!
Keep getting butterflies too, and nightmares that it is time for the wedding and not everything is done!

Terrible headaches, and pain in my glands. Its not even my wedding! hahahaha and its not until September!

Ive had hives since just before Xmas!
Controlled by meds now but Bridesmaid & Mam reckon its stress related.

Im glad I'm not the only one!!! I'm a total stresshead at the best of times and starting organising things 2 years ago to ensure id b organised!!!!! LOL!!!! But I havent had a cold in about 2 years so this has floored me completely!!!

What are peoples coping mechanisms????

I just take multivitamins, drink lots of water every day.
I find that doing exercises involving kick boxing moves, punches etc help with stress!
And I always have at least half an hour of chill / non-thinking time every day.

i'd recommend kalms daytime tablets to keep you chilled during the day and then herbal tablets from boots to help you sleep at night

ULCERS!!!

Big nasty, horrid ulcers

They are in strange places too, like where my lip joins my gums IYGWIM

My wedding is 17 weeks away so I'm dreading what will happen nearer the time

They actually take about 3 weeks to get into your system so yes, that's fine.
