has never hurt so much!!!
I've been struck down with a nasty cold virus and one of the symptoms is a throat that is red raw and it feels like I'm swallowing razor blades!!
Doctor has told me that antibiotics won't help so sat here sipping a lemsip very slowly in the hope it might ease

"omg ive so got the same thing!!
mines a chesty cough and the extremely sore throat. surprised i managed best part of 5 hours sleep.
hugs xx"
Had that for a couple of weeks too. I put it down to a cheap pack of cigs I bought just before Xmas but maybe it was a bug. Siren had a bad bug just before Xmas so maybe I caught it from her. Still got a cough now. |

im on some honey n glycerine linctus stuff. I normally kind of dismiss these type of things and just ride out the symptoms rather than run for medication but last night i was close to tears so took a trip to the supermarket.
Called up the Dr's a minute ago and apparently its just a bug and antibiotics wont work so pointless making an appointment as i cant be prescribed anything..
Looks like a few local people have it |

Just had/got it too! Fortunately the 'broken glass' throat finally went yesterday but still got cough and blocked nose!
My new bedtime recipe: Lemsip, additional honey, whisky, hot water, 2 paracetemol.  |

Strepsets are what you need stronger than strepsils or meracaine if you can find it. He had this the other week and so kinda tried to get meracaine but was given Strepsets he said they were a god send. Get well soon. |

You should be careful taking paracetamol with lemsip as there is paracetamol in lemsip

Was thinking the same, you are effectively, doubling the dose |

Just woken up after managing 5 hours sleep throat just as bad
Shouldn't say it's nice that others are suffering but it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one (even that sounds bad!)
I'm on day 7 now - keep hoping that things will improve but can't see any light in that tunnel yet!
Thanks for the advice and tips and big germy hugs (don't say I don't share hehe) |

Day 9 and maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel!!
Throat not as bad but seem to have developed a "fear" of swallowing if that makes sense? Keep taking tiny sips and holding it in my mouth (could be quite kinky if I wasn't feeling so crap!)
Whatever this virus is I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Commiserations to anyone who is suffering
