I had flu over Christmas, starting on December 23rd. It was
real flu, nothing to do with a cold, just a terrible cough, aching limbs and a high temperature. I was unable to get out of bed for 4 days, as my legs wouldn't support me, then I was poorly for another 2 weeks. It took 2 more weeks after that before I began to get my strength back - hadn't been so ill for years.
Now that we're getting near Spring and the days are getting longer I think all out immune systems get a bit of a boost but, unfortunately, it never seems to work with colds. I haven't had a cold for nearly a year - oops! -where's a bit of wood to touch?.........
