Just getting over a cold that has had me low for a fortnight. I say ‘low’ but nothing that made me feel particularly ill and in need of care. This contrasts hugely with the one occasion I had flu. Damn I’ve been in some poorly, bad places over the decades - including a ten day stay in hospital with a blood clot on the brain - but that flue bout was somewhere near the top of the list. I couldn’t interact with the world. Like a migraine, sound and daylight was too much to handle. I ached all over and my head felt like it would split open. I tried to get out of bed after six days and passed out. Anyone that is capable of phoning work to tell them they have flu, hasn’t got flu.

Can't remember which comedian said it, but I've always subscribed to the £20 on the window sill diagnosis.
If a £20 landed on the outside of your window sill and you're able to open the window and pick up the note, then you don't have the flu.

Surely covid has taught us that people react differently to viruses. There isn’t a prescription for “how you should feel” if you get the flu.

Yes I had this exact thing - except gonads issue - end of last week. It's doing the rounds. Two nights with temp around 40 degrees, which burned itself out, and then became a minor chest infection and then sinusitis. Viral so didnt bother wasting GP time with this. Started Wednesday night and now basically better.
