Seconded. Cough, blocked nose, the works. Feels like hayfever (there was certainly enough dry grass onsite this year!) but I've taken Clarityn every day.

[abu hamster]

My fault had a very early saturday

[outlinereality]

Me too! Was worth it however

[abu hamster]

Got to get it gone before Wednesday

[icedgems]

Eurgh. Mine has arrived, complete with sore throat and temperature and my boss'll kill me if I don't make it to work

[abu hamster]

Same as me!

[chuckley]

i developed a cold 2 days b4 glasto, so ran to holland n barrett for echinachea drops. me cold was gone come weds... but still took it throughout the fest!

[Cozza84]

me too! is there any reason why we've all become snottery messes in the last day or so? my throat is so painful

[OSHmusic]

Mine was arriving soon after the festival started. Kept it at bay with Paracetamol, but symptoms linger on!

[Laura_Babs]

Gruff voice here and not feeling too great! Would love to speak to someone who doesn't come home from Glastonbury ill! Would really like to know how they manage.

I'm feeling a bit croaky, but I think that's from three consecutive evenings of singing at the very top of my voice (Bootleg Beatles, Pet Shop Boys, Saw Doctors) and a full two hour singing workshop on Saturday afternoon, followed by two days of constant Glastobating at MrP&aP, who stayed home this year...

A cold? Lightweights! I thought I was struggling with hayfever and asthma (forgot my inhaler) but it's feeling more like a chest infection now. Coupled with my bad back and a urine infection that I put off starting antibiotics for so I could drink over the weekend and I'm not in the best of shape right now...

[LondonTom]

Yeah defo similar symtoons to my hayfever with a heavier cough/soarer throat! Amazing how I was fine all festival and now this, ah well not back to work til monday!

[timespeedsup]

Sneezed all the way home after being fine throughout the fest including daily Vit C drinks and milk-thistle (where's that thread gone pre-fest about what to take to help you cope next day?!?). Anyway, felt really rough once home and realised it was a cold..... again, just like after Bearded Theory. Must be getting older.......

On the plus side, no post-Glasto blues despite no more fests until September. Possibly the cold was the blues expressed physically, but the mind's been fine. Straight into work Tuesday and all's good.

[Pilton]

Got the works here, cough, very sore throat and feel achey....Mr pilton and his sis, said it was Hayfever as they have the same thing, I have never had Heyfever so it's def colds .....can'tsee work happening tomorrow.

[verrymerry]

I've been off work since returning home! Bad cough, knackered (to be expected)loads of snot and generally feeling like rubbish. Do you think it's just over doing it? There wasn't any rain, I kept nice and warm... Why isn't my OH ill?!

P.S Work have banned me from Glastonbury next year, albeit as a joke (I think)

[dobberdon]

never knew there was such a thing...... now i know what i've had since thursday. ha ha

[Funkyfairy!]

Not a cold, but have Laryngitis - looked up the causes and can be viral or caused by 'using the voice too much - eg speaking or singing plus beathing in irritants - eg dust !

Think I know how I got that then

Voice is coming and going which a blessing for those around me :-)

[Nyika]

Been snotting away since Thursday and almost completely lost my voice yesterday, it's just coming back a bit now. Annoyingly the cough I spent 3 months getting rid of has come back.

[Treeswinger]

By Sunday evening my hangover had turned into something pretty solid that is STILL ongoing.

Think I had a bit of heatstroke, despite trying very hard to look after myself - combined with the aftermath of drink and drugs just made me puke all day Sunday (puking into long drops is pretty minging!).. then the sh*ts arrived (not idea when you are trying to jump around to Faithless). 10pm I was in the car doing the shivvering sweating thing whilst waiting for my friends.

I'm a teacher, so had to back to work on Monday so as not to take the p*ss regards having had Friday off.. it wasn't pleasant. It still wasn't pleasant on Thursday, Friday I kept some food down properly.. Saturday I did a 10k race with no shade and am now ill again.

I'm still going next year though. Ha.

[geztival_09]

I started off with a sore throat on Tuesday morning and it has now progressed to a full on cold and chest infection. Glasto was well worth the illness afterwards though!

[steelmusicuk]

went back to work on the wednesday, like most. Come friday afternoon, I went off sick!! Having developed a strange viral infection that manifested itself along the lines of a combination of vertigo and glandular fever... My immune system took a battering... And was happy to get wolloped by any virus that cared to latch onto my blood cells.

My boss was not best pleased of course. I'm back to work tomorrow (Tuesday), feeling about 90% sorted now. Got no choice really, as I'm off for another week from friday!
