You are under a lot of pressure when you and the baby are ill
And when they are young they pick up some thing new weekly
Hope you have some one to give you a break even if it’s a couple of hours just to sleep

I can get a break but baby is very attached to me, especially when ill, so I'm not setting my heart on it.

Trust me you should take advantage of having a break and its good for the baby too in the long to get comfortable around others

My son has got some lurgy....very unusual as he is never ill. He has high temp but is freezing, headache and says his head feels too heavy. I've banished him to his room and dosed him up. Hoping he bounces back quickly and it's not a ploy to get out of cleaning his room

Thank you both.

It's so unlike him but I know he is ill as he hasn't picked up his phone or the PlayStation. I don't know what to do with myself....I'm getting on his nerves asking him if he's feeling better. I can't actually remember the last time he was poorly.

Bless him

…he’ll be right soon, hopefully…if he doesn’t very often contract these viruses then he probably has a good immune for fighting…hydration and rest/sleep are the best medication for him right now, I think…

There are some nasty bugs going around country-wide. Me, wife and youngest were all very (very) ill for about 10 days over Christmas, tbh I'm still feeling slightly wiped from it nearly 3 weeks later, and my eldest was ill last week - dunno if it was unrelated or the same bug cycling round, she avoided it at Christmas somehow. Aches, pains, headaches and chills were big features - my wife suffered most with the chills, I was hit with the headaches and brain-fog.

But yeah there are a few flu strains and other viruses going around, health services were under quite a bit of strain in early January.

Indeed and remember "chin to chest" (pain in the back of the neck when trying to do this is a concern) and any light sensitivity - although that can also be just the plain ol' headache.

I've had a niggley cold since Christmas, haven't really been ill since covid. I have no energy at all. Mum and Dad have the kids and I'm tucked up on the sofa with a blanket getting ready for tea and toast and to watch the old classic Ghost Train in the telly. So it's not all bad...

Not had cold or flu for EIGHT YEARS.

Didn't get Covid either, and I won't be having the flu vaccine.

Don't trust them.

You might have gotten symptom-less covid, I would never have known I had covid only I tested myself when my husband got it and I was positive too, he was really sick with it, I had no symptoms at all

Just come off a pretty nasty but also pretty short-lived cold. Still got a very stuffy nose.

I’m also misophonic but people don’t usually get pissed off at making their own trigger-sounds (in my case sniffing), otherwise I’d literally be driving myself mad.

You could well be right.

My brother had it bad. He said it nearly killed him.

But if I did have it, I never noticed.

I agree with you that the MSM did blow Covid out of proportion, and wrongly scarred and scared a lot of people with how deadly the disease was meant to be.

And I also objected to the whole "you have to take the jab or you'll lose your job" dystopian scenario that a lot of countries were enacting (but thankfully have now stopped due to the backlash from most people.)

However, it was not a "cold for everyone" either, the truth is somewhere in the middle of the two extremes.
