Is There A Virus Going Around?

I was wondering if there is a virus going around both my parents are ill in bed with flu like symptoms. But it cant be flu because they have both had jabs. I am now feeling awful aching joints very light headed and dizzy sore eyes feel like im about to faint all the time its not blood sugar that is 7 two hours after lunch. I have a flu jab every year as well. I was wondering if there is some virus going around at the moment.

Yep this is the worst time of year for virus's... I hate sitting in the doc's waiting room in the winter, & try not to breathe in lol, epecially if someone's coughing near me!

It really does sound like viral symptoms to me... just try and alleviate them with lots of drinks, regular paracetamol & rest.

The flu jab will only protect you against the expected flu strain this year - everything else that's going around you can still catch, unfortunately :(

True what daisy sue says , some many have some sort of virus. We had our flu jab at the end of october, and we have been poorly on and off ever since,
I have never coughed up so much rubbish,everywhere i go poeple are coughing and sneezing.
