Feeling unwell

[missprim]

I know a lot of people have been ill over Christmas and some are still suffering.
Fortunately I have been well up until now but today I am feeling nauseous with a headache and feeling tired.
Do you know if this is the start of one of the things that has been going round?
I don't usually feel like this.

thats how it started with me im afraid and after several weeks im only just getting back to normal

might be honey, im on the point of killing my toddler shes discovered the living room door makes a tremendous noise and i have a splitting headache and i cant shout because i start coughing!

It sounds like it could be. Saying that, I felt similar at new year and it never came to anything. A few girls at work felt the same though and they ended up with the full blown tummy bug.

All I know is if its a virus the harder you try to carry on the longer it takes to get over it.... give in gracefully rest and treat the symptoms it will pass... however if you develop a rash, neck stiffness or you start to become light sensitive call your GP straight away

Oh dear, I thought I might have been lucky enough to miss it.
Any recommendations?

[ummmm]

I started feeling unwell a few weeks back. Woke up the next day and I was fine. It might not be doom and gloom.

Sorry my post crossed with yours rowan, thanks for the advice.

rest, paracetamol if you get a high temperature, fluids and a comfy couch in front of daytime tv

[missprim]

Daytime TV not for me rowan. Would rather fall asleep at my computer :-)
If I do start to feel worse I'lll go for a lie down but at the moment I'm just drinking boiled water and struggling to keep it down.
But hey, I'm a woman, I'll cope :-)

Loads of bugs going around. I keep thinking I'm going to get a cold but then it doesn't happen which is good!

[rowanwitch]

ginger tea is good for nausea as are flat ginger ale or at a pinch ginger biscuits

I don't watch daytime tv either but its good to doze to

just a thought is your vision ok because headache with nausea can be migraine...

[missprim]

Yes vision ok just tired eyes which I might give into before long.
