Sent in my youngest with a bit of a lurgy last week. The pre-school phoned me saying he had a slight fever, but was well in himself and they were happy to keep him in. Good to see they've not lost that blitz spirit.Originally Posted by SvN

Why does this read like a Wikipedia entry
Because I am an encyclopaedia of medical knowledge.
My little ones nursery are sound with stuff. They rang the other week to say she has a temperature and ask if we minded them giving her calpol. Much better than having to collect her. She was fine too.
Our won't give Calpol for some reason. Much rather they would if it's needed and parents consent.
My daughter has won Tonsillitis in the Strep A bingo. 12 people are left uninfected in her class.
Poor bastard is ill more than Manc and Baz
My new years rezzy is to not get ill in 2023.

You'll last a week.
Doing dry january. Does misery count as an illness?

Tryanuary is far more fun.
Bi-anuary.
I think that's what Giggles was getting at. And good luck to him.
I'm doing the proper version of dry January - not drinking anything at all, not even water. Will come back to this thread on 31 Jan and let you know how it's gone.
You have my full support.
Youngest child has an ear infection and is, unfortunately, not a lover of sweet things, so getting the antibiotics in is going to be fun. Last time one of his older sisters had one of these [also at Christmas time] it wrecked her otherwise excellent sleeping for 8 months, and he's a shit sleeper to start with.
Most ear infections are viral anyway.
It's interesting you should say that as I don't recall the last one getting antibiotics [shame as she would have loved them] on the basis that they usually sort themselves out/once the initial build-up of pain has happened there's not much to be done [think hers might have burst or whatever the term would be though].
Here comes Gregory House, limping in with his unfounded diagnosis.
It does sound like Lupus.
It's never Lupus.
Spoken like a true Lupus. I nominate Mahow.

Oh, we deffo should.
Spent last night switching between shivers and heat last night. Not a wink of sleep. This is what I get for spending the weekend with a household full of flu.
The Flu has to be pound for pound the most underrated virus. You get all these mooks giving it "I have a cold or the Flu". It's a cold mate. If you don't know which it is, it's a cold. The Flu is fucking brutal, there's no mistaking it for a cold. I've had it 3 times and it's been much worse than fucking Bovid each time. Rest well sir shinners.
I've had some weird illness for the past week of so. Thought it was just a hangover last Thursday but woke up dripping in sweat the following night. Banging sore throat that comes and goes, it came back last night, so it's probably that Strep A thing.
I had a similar mystery illness from 28th dec through until about the 5th Jan.
Shivers, sore throat, cold like nose blowing and most concerningly loads of weird red/purple spots on my hands and insoles of my feet.
They’ve fucked off now, as has the shivers/throat etc but I’ll be damned if I know what it was.
RIP Foe.
These spots itchy? I don't know if they're 'chillblains' or what but I first got them due to COVID and they've returned since. Mine seem concentrated on just 1 foot.
Voice has gone now. Mint.
Broke a toe. Wonderful.
No need to cry about it.
It's not that serious.
They were on my feet, but they were just uncomfortable on my hands.
My hands were a peeling mess last week where the spots have been.
I’m actually beginning by to think it was ‘hands, feet and mouth disease’ which sounds made up, but is an actual thing and fits the description. Must’ve picked it up from my niece.
Working through my second blast of Covid. Lost the smell and taste, this time, too.
Serves you right for [not] getting your [2nd/3rd/4th/5th/6th/7th/8th] jab, you [dirty] fuck.
[Delete where appropriate].
I’m full of a cold. It’s rubbish. The little one had it last week and kindly passed it on to me. Currently sound like I smoke 50 a day each time I cough, and my noses only job now is to keep my glasses on as it’s given up trying to breathe. I’ve also not been warm since about Wednesday of last week.
What I’m saying is, I’m feeling pretty sorry for myself.
Booked a podiatry appointment for two days after I get back from my holiday (and have rock hard feet from burning hot floor/sand) and I’m probably equally excited for that as my week in Lanzarote.
Seriously, get yourself booked in. Best thing ever.

I think that post might the final confirmation that we're all fucking old now.
Even I’m 26 now as of yesterday. Fuck me.
Cut my knuckle down to the bone cooking earlier.
Knife was freshly sharpened so didn't particularly hurt, but the feeling of clonking against bone is extremely off-putting.
Got some smart scales that somehow measure loads of stuff from the soles of your feet. They say I have the body of a 29 year old.

Got some sort of illness.
On Friday I had a sore throat, no appetite and vomited saliva shortly after waking.
On Saturday the sore throat went away but the saliva vomit happened a couple of times plus I had nausea throughout the day, appetite was even worse and I also had stomach pains as well as a build up of mucus.
Today no vomiting and no stomach pain but I now have a slightly blocked nose and a cough. Appetite seems a bit better which is nice.
I have literally no idea what you mean when you say "vomit saliva". Do you mean you were dribbling?
I think some call it "foam".
I would vomit and it would just be thick, foamy saliva coming out rather than bile or actual vomit.
I used to get it most mornings though because of something called post-nasal drip where mucus would drop down from my nose into my throat when sleeping.
Sounds like rabies. RIP.
Hmm, I did recently get bit...
Appetite seems to have come back.
Not feeling full after 3 bites
My kids had something similar recently. You'll be fine.
But it does mean you have the immune system of a child.
Smell and taste seem to be lacking today so seems like rabies/COVID hybrid.
Turns out it was covid as the grandparents now have it. Woops.
Rip Mahow.
