Hi,
i haven't posted for a loooonnnnng time, but am now having a bit of a bad spell. Prior to chrsitmas i picked up a chest infection that wouldn't shift until i'd had two lots of antibiotics. It was my fault though as i was coughing up all sorts for nearly 2 weeks before going down the docs as wanted to deal with it on my own, plus i believed green phlegm was OK ! I became convinced it was pneumonia and i went down the docs 3 times in one week for them to listen to my chest, each time it was clear although i was still bring up plegm in the morning. It turned out i'd then got sinusitis , another batch of antibiotics seemed to do the trick and for the past 6 weeks i've been OK.
At the weekend, i got all hot and sweaty, started running a fever with chills, achy muscles and a headache, and became convinced it was full on flu.... Today I feel a bit better but have made the mistake of googling the flu and all the complications that can go with it and am now worrying about stuff thats not even happened yet.
This is the first winter for a few years where I've got bugs, one after the other and now i'm panicky that something underlying is wrong with me, although reading the site it seems i'm not the only person who has had bug after bug....
