What have I got?

[bigfoot3000]

Those that have spoken to me recently might remember me saying that I have the flu. This still has'nt gone and has now progressed to a feeling of being totally wasted. I feel spaced out, disorientated, energyless as well as still having a cough having blocked sinuses for over a week, losing my taste/smell but the most worrying now is the constant skull splitting headache almost as if blood pressure is building up higher and higher which is now pressing against the back of my eyes especially everytime I cough or walk around and the bloodflow starts moving fast. think I will have to go doctors tomorrow as I don't seem to be getting better. I"ve had flu and this is 50x worse the only other thing I can liken this too is when I had suspected swineflu for two weeks last year. Any ideas will be appreciated.

It's bloody flu....stop wingeing.

Sinus infection.....no starter.
BP..no starter.
Hay fever .....no starter.

Go to bed, drink plenty, Ibuprofen 600mgms twice a day.
Don't go to the doctor.......you will infect the whole surgery.

Lol, sqad I'm the last guy that runs to doc/hospital even when I have limbs that are hanging off! So Ibuprofen will work where Beechams all in one failed?

[cazzz1975]

men like to whinge about flu, so much so that they came up with "man-flu" so they would have a specially named disease exclusively for them

[Sqad]

bigfoot....Beechams? there just basically paracetamol.....you know....panadol.

[bigfoot3000]

I NEVER go doctors and always prefer to self medicate with Vitamins and Herbs so I can assure you that the term "Man flu" was not thought up with me in mind!

Sqad Im not a chemist so please enlighten me on how ibuprofen is better then Paracetamol?

[Sqad]

I am not a chemist either.
BUT Ibuprofen not only has anti-inflammatory properties, but is more effective for neuralgic pain..."wot u av"
