Sore throat and holiday planned - worried

[paulaf]

I have booked two days in a hotel for me and my hubby at the weekend for our anniversary (2 hours drive and scared but owe it to him to go away somewhere). The thing is that I have a bit of a sore throat and glands and am terrified that I will be worse for going away, I always worry about getting ill before a holiday. Nightmare.

It could be that you're about to come down with a cold, or...it could be that you're trying to put off going? Do you usually find that you feel a bit 'iffy' before you go away? Alot of people with health anx try to find ways of not going away, but it sounds like you really want to go for your hubby and as its only 2 days, try to relax and just go with it, even if it does develop into a cold, it won't harm you and he'll love you loads for doing it for him.

Happy anniversary by the way :flowers: Hope you make it because you deserve it.
