Soreness Update - history, status and prognostication

[andrewducker]

My throat started getting sore last night.

It was even sorer at 3am, when I got up to pop to the toilet.

It was still pretty sore when I phoned into work at 9am.

It's sore now.

The soreness will hopefully vanish by tomorrow.

That is all.

If it's what I'm recovering from, you're fucked.

Starts with a sore throat. Sore throat begins to go away. Then nose starts running. "Aha! A cold!" Yes, but then the racking coughs start. I'm now on the mend after 72 hours, but my ribs feel as if I've been beaten with baseball bats.

NB: some people never seem to progress to the runny-nose stage, much less the beaten-with-baseball-bats stage. But I suspect it's the same seasonal change bug that's doing the rounds.

Sounds possible.

I suspect, by the way that you've reacted to it, that you've got 'holiday flu', whereby when you relax, all the bacteria that you'd been holding off by sheer willpower have a big party throughout your entire body.

I'm hoping that I haven't got that :->

If it's what I've got it's NOT a one day thing.
