    Sorry it's this bad, beanie - feeling cold when you're ill, *because* you're ill, has got to be dire :(

    Hope you're feeling a bit better Beanie. How long it lasts seems to be variable. One of my work mates hasn't been right for a couple of weeks now, sounds similar to your bug, she's had everything, bad cold plus tummy bug.

  • Dd who is 31 and incredibly fit was knocked completely off her feet for 5 days. A week and a half later, she's still feeling the effects.

    I am exhausted & pain levels way higher than they should be as have had to stop a lot of medication to take other stuff.
    I could cry :(
