I've had flu once - couldn't walk, running fever but feeling cold, muscle cramps, aching bones, semi delirious, totally bed riiden (or was that last bit on a play date? :D )
Most people say they have flu when it's just a cold. If you have the flu you'd really know about it.
Apart from all the usual vit C, hot drinks etc, if I have a cold and feel crap, I get some Boots own brand decongestant. They have psuedoephedrine hydrochloride in them - legal speed. They clear your nose and pep you up a treat. |

if yo have a bad cold- something for pain and temperature - plenty fluids - with honey and lemon are good - if you have the flu - forget the exam - and get to bed for a week or so - i had the flu once and it knocks you sideways and turns you inside out |

With flu the more you try and do the more it works into your system. That's why docs advise bed rest. Get someone to pop to the chemist and get a load of flu stuff dose yourself up, plenty of fluids and rest I'm afraid x |

Only had flu once and really thought I was going to die...spent best part of 10 days in bed only dragging myself out to get to the loo and grab a drink from the bathroom tap - getting down the stairs to the kitchen to find some food happened on day 4 and I passed out face first in my bowl of cornflakes...fortunately my mam force fed me paracetamol and a bit if toast so I didn't cock my clogs from starvation...had heavy colds now and again and it's still paracetamol and fluids the only way to get through it - viruses are real fuckers! |

Spicy / Thai soup. Absolutely tons of fresh chilli, ginger garlic and herbs. The vitamin and antioxidant boost is massive and the fresh chilli really helps sweat things out |
