Oh my goodness. I don’t think I have ever felt the way I do now. I seem to have caught some sort of a bug type flu thing. My legs are killing me, I have coughed and coughed so much that my sciatica has come back, I can’t sleep, eat, move do anything. Does anyone know how long it will take to pass or any good remedies? I’m on medication for sciatica and doc gave me a cough bottle today.
and you’re from the same place as me!! i feel like pure she hite. have not a clue what to do to get rid of it
i had that 2 weeks ago and it lasted a week i have still got a bit of it like coughing and sore chest
sad to say i had it for a few months – was a real horrid thing and could not shake it
had two lots of antibiotics and did not really help. Coughed so much that i kept being sick
Sleeping lots and taking echinacea seemed to help. AFter about 5 months saw a homeopathist and felt better within a week or so – she gave me three lots of pills and they stopped me coughing within a few days and being sick also.
Good luck
Ugh! I feel for you. i caught it and gave it to my two young boys and husband. i never get sick and can count on my hands the number of times I’ve been sick. I had a fever and was actually disoriented and delirious from it all. i was very sore from my head (eyes, roof of mouth!) down to my back. i didn’t have much of a cough but I was so stopped up and sinuses so swollen that even afrin didn’t help. Mine lasted about a week and I’m at the tail end of it now. Water (Lot’s of water) and painkillers (i was taking Tylenol and Advil) helped me a ton. Hope you feel better soon!
I came down with it on thursday night and am still not right after staying in all weekend and taking today off work, but i,m better than i was on thursday i could hardly move, i,m just taking ibuprofen 400mg 3 times a day not much else you can do with the flu just rest and sit it out, hope your better soon it sucks
I got it a month ago. I still can’t get rid of the cough. Also took 2 weeks of antibiotics recently and cough is still there. I have never caught anything that hangs around this long. Cough drops are the only thing that has helped with the cough a little. Bunny let us know what you were given to take. That might help me also.
yes,,most of my friends,,and my son,,got it..my son,it was 2 weeks to get rid of it…then another friend,still got it,after 5 weeks…best wishes for your recovery..mary.c.
omg i have had it for about seven seeks now ijust have the cough now it just wont go
My family and I had one of the influenza’s about 6 weeks ago. If you have a fever, body aches and respiratory symptoms, it’s most likely influenza though I guess could always be a bad virus too. Sorry to say, antibiotics won’t help either of these, but if it’s early on you could go to your physicians office and get checked for influenza A & B. If it turns out to be influenza they could always prescribe something like Tamiflu which will decrease the duration of the illness, but I believe you need to take it within 48hrs of the onset of your symptoms for it to be effective. In the meantime…plenty of fluids and lots of rest. Good luck! I hope you feel better soon!
