Definitely ill this time!

Have felt awful for the last three days, with diarrhoea, nausea, headache and shivers, and yesterday all-over aches and cystitis added themselves to the list. Woke up at 3-ish and every muscle and joint was hurting so I took a paracetamol and went back to bed. Was supposed to catch a train to Shropshire this morning to my goddaughter's baby's christening (in fact, it left 18 mins ago sans moi), but thought I'd better ring my goddaughter and her parents and check if they wanted to run the risk of catching it. The answer was no! In fact, my goddaughter's mum said it sounded very like swine flu so I checked the symptoms. The health website says if you have a temperature plus two or more on the list, you've probably got it. I could tick off seven out of the eight!

Oink!

Not swine, not unless you have problems with your respiratory system (that's what differentiates it from other flues). Sounds like Norwalk. I hate Norwalk.

Sounds awful - hope you are feeling well again soon. Shame you had to miss the christening.

I may perk up tomorrow, Teresa. With any luck! Nice to be back in touch! Your blog is so much more professional than mine in every way.

Think it was just a tummy bug, folks. A friend who works at a school says loads of the kids have got it and it's so bad they're having to don rubber gloves and hose them down!
