Worse.
Unbelieveable though it sounds, I feel worse today than at any point over the last week or so.

Hopefully you've peaked and it will get better.
What medication did the doctor give you?
( girlinthehole, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:13, Reply)

Nothing
I'm on Nurofen and paracetamol.

Proper hydration (not booze) is important.

I'm doing all that.
I'm just not getting any better.

You need your mum to give you a big hug.

And then some soup.

In the absence of mother at this point.
I'll have to settle for a cup of coffee and a biscuit.

Not really the same thing.
When I feel ill I want my mum and I'm 45.

Mothers are over-rated.

Mine is useless but I still feel safe when she's around.
Silly, I know.
( girlinthehole, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Not spoken to mine for about 16 years (it may be longer - can't remember)
She tried adding me on FB a couple of weeks ago which was very random.

Strange.
You'd think if she wanted a reconcilliation, a letter would have been more appropriate.

Having read some of your QOTW posts
about your childhood, I'm surprised you didn't try and set fire to the audacious cow. I mean, seriously, why the hell would you want to add her on facebook after 16 years of silence and after what she put you through?

She is delusional.
I have just realised it's her birthday tomorrow. Another day forward towards the joyful day when the rancid old cunt snuffs it.

my mum was pretty unsympathetic
I have inherited this. I tell myself to man the fuck up.

Have you stopped chundering?

(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:25, Reply)

Only because I've nothing left to bring up.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:27, Reply)

You really ought to take care of yourself
if you actually have influenza and not just a nasty cold.
(berk, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:32, Reply)

The doc said it was influenza
Rest, rehydrate and paracetamol was the suggestion.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Yeah, there aren't really any drugs they can give
as antivirals only work in the first few days. If you can't keep food down though, or don't feel like eating, you must make sure you stay hydrated. Lots of hot vimto and NO booze.
If you didn't live miles away I would make you my amazing chicken soup!
(berk, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:39, Reply)

I don't care for chicken soup
And I've never tried vimto.

But I do have some Ribena, so I'm going to make a hot one of those!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:51, Reply)

i've never had flu
but both my parents had it at some point or another, and they both get (well, got in my mum's case) really annoyed with people who have a heavy cold saying "it's a touch of 'flu". they both said proper flu knocks you out for about 6 weeks and you feel like death.

poor old beast, hope it doesn't take that long.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:39, Reply)

yeah it really annoys me when people are off work for 2 days and come back saying they've had flu

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:49, Reply)

And it now annoy me too!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:52, Reply)

This is the first time I've had flu
And it really is very very different from having a cold. I'm in pain and everything.

How is the hangover?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:52, Reply)

As far as I can remember I've had flu once.
It is completely different to having a cold.
( girlinthehole, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 14:53, Reply)

I lost a stone when I caught flu in college.
My mum nearly took me to hospital fearing I had meningitis
