Illness

[emmmmma]

I'm feeling a bit dodgy, just really tired and a bit run down. It was worth it though!

[talullah]

I too am off work with a sore throat, tight chest, cough and temperature....I just want to sleep all the time...it is partly over indlgence at Glasto but I didnt feel like this last year..theres definitely a virus going round!

[LusciousLucy]

Bugger the unpacking...I am off to sit in the garden to top up me tan!

Still no Glasto Blues but I know why and I dont expect to get them this year...but is there a pill you can take for missing all your lovely lovely friends??? Meep!

[grumpyhack]

Got bunged up nose, sniffles and bad cough. Summer cold and consequences of smoking too much and late nights. I usually find a course of Day and Night tablets dries it up.

My back of my neck and base of my skull have been killing me since Monday and I've had 3 poos every day since Monday too (I normally have 1 a day max!).

With regard to the hayfever my wife was very similar, no problems with it at all whilst at Pilton but as soon as we got home and st in the garden she started sneezing like a mofo.

I'm definately feeling worse than I have done on previous years. It could possibly be swine flu but since there's hardly anyone here at work and tomorrow is my last day anyway it seems pointless staying off just in case.

My brothers girlfriend is waiting for results back to see whether she has it or not, so I could well actually have swine flu. Ahhh well, I'm fairly healthy otherwise, I am no more scared of swine flu than I am of any other flu.

I developed a sore throat at the festival (proper massive lump in my throat every time I swallowed) the day before which I'd had to take myself off to sleep because I'd had a headache all day which I couldn't get rid of. After my sleep I threw up and that seemed to make me feel a bit better, but then the sore throat came.

Since coming home the sore throat has got better but I ache all over, have developed a very strange cough which will just come all of a sudden and dry my whole mouth up making it difficult to speak (it goes again once I have a drink or suck on a sweet) and last night I actually threw up.

I've had Glastonbury Blues before but they are generally more mental than physical for me, since all I take whilst there is weed and alcohol. It could just be though because it's so bloody hot and so my body isn't getting the chance to recover as well as it normally does.

I've also got really bad stomach ache.

Blah, I'm ill.

Eeek...I came back to work to find we had our first cases of swine flu in the workforce and now trying to deal with staff refusing to go back into that particular workplace - the joys of being in HR and the HR Flu lead.

Me - I'm exhausted and my hay fever is kicking in big style (think its hay fever!!!)

[Penry]

got it here too, fever, ackes, swollen glands, coughing up bucket loads of green that are so big they need to be squished down the plug hole to fit !! etc, barely slept since sunday night in the tent, and lost about 5ish pounds due to never being hungry (but I guess that could just be the perry being absorbed).

Doc looked at me like i had the plague on tuesday, and seemed to be cleaning the chair with anticeptic wipes as i left - lol.. but just called it a 'virus' -- remedied by lots of water, some paracetamol and rest. !!

[Gazza33]

I've been ill after Glasto, getting better now though.

Saying that, I just went to the shops and bumped into a couple of people I know and I was rambling and gibbering. I feel funny in a different way today.

[remote]

I still don't feel right at all. But I don't think it's illness, I just feel really run down and horrible.

[benissright]

Yeah, ive got a fever, a cough, a headache, am very tired/drowsy and my nose is a bit bleh. Maybe its swine flu, ill get myself checked tomoz.

Lead story on Channel 4 News tonight

p.s. I havn't been I'll for over 20 years, no colds, never had a headache in my life, nothing. Bet that makes you feel sick.

[Josie's Cat]

Not one single headache? That's amazing.

It would be irony now if you were to die of something very heavy, like a tuba, falling on your head.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

a point of interest fo those who had no hayfever at glasto but found it waiting for them at home - mdma has anti-histamine qualities...

How are those symptons any different to normal-run-of-the-mill-everyday-poor-mans-flu?

[LRW]

They’re not. Either way it’s a flu of sorts, which is a pisser.

[The Nal]

But at least you get time off work to sit at home and watch the bands on iPlayer that you missed at the festival?

Well thats what I've been doing all weeke anyway.....

[markeee]

i wonder what the actual amount of swine flu cases at glasto was

as im sure some people will have shown signs after leaving site etc

as according to the news its spreading like wildfire, it must have spread to more than 6 people at the festival imo
