    nope not too much detail, at least if its green we know you probably have an infection.. you reallly should start nailing the multivitamins of one kind or anther. i used to get this once when the weather turned cold before xmas and once when the weather turned rainy in spring until i started my "regime".

    Yeah - went to the quack's yesterday and got some antibiotics. Am not convinced phlegm quantity or colour means it's a bacterial infection instead of a viral one but I'm happy to give anything a go if it makes me better by xmas (though 7 days of antibiotics means it would be a dry xmas )

    Ephedrine and the rest. It helps when you cook Christmas dinner as well.Because you have a cold and the interesting effects of the cure.
    Makes for an intense meal for the family.

    Almost... almost... feeling better (fingers crossed). Lots of random coughing fits today but nothing more (hurrah)

    at least you've got an infection to see... I'm just getting copious quantities of clear!

    The cough/sore throat isn't helping either as I'm not sleeping properly. (ok, i went to godskitchen yesterday... but I didn't sleep well enough the night before...)

    Not nice. I went from waking up on a very frequent basis to 'only' 5 or 6 times last night. Each time I woke I had phlegm to shift but oddly enough could only do so if I got out of bed and took a deep breath - at the end of each I felt I'd reached a limit, coughed, 'hoiked' and eh voila, I'd invented purest green (black adder reference...)

    Yup, know that feeling.

    Been on my 'rents sofa since I got in... I know it's a cold as I've got a raging hunger (proper porridge with sugar and double cream, yum, then shepherds pie for dinner... double yum)

    I got told I snored last night... well I'm almost snoring when I'm awake so i'm pretty much expecting it when I'm asleep!

    At least I'm not as bad as 2005... Lost my voice on the 21st, didn't get it back till the 28th, had a horrible fluey cold all xmas week, ended up in hospital on NYE with my heart condition then got Gastoenteritis / winter vomiting on new years day for a week. A mere cold over xmas this year is small in comparison

    Re: It's nearly xmas and I've caught man flu again

    Well I'm sat here at work and my arms feel like lead balloons. Not only that but my legs are sore and I can hardly move and my voice is rougher than grade 40 sandpaper.

    Are germs etc the cause ?

    Nope - it's cause was a crazy session at godskitchen on Saturday with the glowsticks entow throwing shapes I never knew existed and it was a 5 hr Van Burren set as well and it was all worth it
