It's JUST A COLD !!!!

Ib dota told!! By dose ib all bunjed up & by ears 'urt~ BUT IT'S JUST A COLD!!

It's NOT the PIGGIN 'FLU ~ I've HAD 'proper' flu three times in my life & I've had dozens of colds, ranging from sniffles to stonkers~ & you can take it from me ~ I DO know the difference!!

MY Guide to diagnosing 'FLU !!!

* If you can stand up ~ It's NOT Flu !!!
* The stairs present a challenge greater than conquering Mt Everest ~ It IS Flu !!!
* If you can feel EVERY bone in your body, including eye sockets & bones in your ears, & they ALL ache at once ~ it IS Flu !!!
* If you can get to the bathroom without spending an hour planning HOW you are going to get there _ It's NOT Flu !!!
* If you lie shivering & sweating in your bed, worrying about the bedside rug (?????)~ THAT's Flu !!!
* If you have 'mirages' of a glass of water ~ You've got Flu !!!
* If you lose ALL perception of time/day/night ~ YEP ~ You Got It !!
* When you try to stand up you find your legs have turned to jelly ( wobbly leg syndrome)~ FLU !!!!
* And on the 6/7th day you struggle down to the sofa ~ only to find you don't feel as 'better' as you thought you did ~~ UH ~UH ~ 'Flu !!!!!
* Three or four weeks later ~ just after yet another coughing fit when you think you must surely have brought your lungs up ~ you will turn to family /friends & say ' I've had the FLU'~ and you will KNOW you have had it !!

So, Dear Friends, If at times I seem a bit paranoid about the impending 'Swine Flu' ~ perhaps you will understand WHY !!

  2. oh I like that comment, don't know the £ could come in handy for the prescription, lol
    Too many folk getting tamiflu so when it does really hit, going to be a lot worse than they expect.
