Or, it could be AIDS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkete Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Assuming you tested for covid. Chicken soup (a posh one so you get more enzymes), echinacea (tablets are cheap in Tesco and improves resistance), day nurse/night nurse for symptoms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeFreak Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Yep have very similar symptoms to yourself since Tuesday, feeling a bit better today but the throat still feels very dry. A weekend of resting and multivitamins is on the cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works best if you start taking it as soon as symptoms come on It was recommended to me so long ago, that it was a fella we paid to recommend tcp/ip stacks, because back then all sorts of other protocols were in use depending on device and make. He said he had a couple of pharmacist friends who both said it was what they used to keep colds at bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggy553 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Just been given a weeks course of antibiotics. Can still drink, but the insert warns against excessive alcohol consumption. I mean, I was fully planning to launch into a week of excessive alchohol consumption…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 (edited) Crikey! Some stories in here.... I'm currently in my 5th week of bronchitis and stinking cold on top over the last week. I am worried that none of it is shifting but will just have to take it easy if I need to... Speedy recovery everyone!!

balti-pie Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Bloody hell, that’s a properly done over finger! I hope you can keep it clean and well away from any falls/bumps/issues! Good on you for still coming, I’d do the exact same thing 👍 I think some kind of winding bandage would be a good idea just to put your mind at rest. It’ll affect your ability to get the beers in as well, definitely get the people around you to help out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll have to be really careful to keep that clean at all times and avoid infection - you are going be in fields with cow sh*t, poo and wee and all sorts of potential nasty stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks I went with a broken collarbone in 2019. Not gonna lie it was a bit annoying being one armed but just have to suck it up and get on with it.
