You’ll be amazed how much better you’ll feel after taking paracetamol.
Mostly these things are worse in the mornings and evenings.
Are you off work?
Yes I have taken 4 paracetamol per day for ten days and cough medicine as well as vit c. Tried apples too.
I want to be off work I really don’t feel like going but I can’t afford to be off the basic government sick pay isn’t enough to get by so I have struggled to do these shifts, i work 4 days and have 3 off I try and rest on the days off.
Re: Can anybody recommend a wash basket?
There isn't any medication they could give you that would help, Phil. Over the counter painkillers, rest and warm drinks will do the trick.
Re: Can anybody recommend a wash basket?
Vitamin C spread out over the day. Higher doses of it. Taking large doses all in one can mean a lot is wasted simply because the body has a limit how much it can hold at one time. Keeping blood plasma levels up in vitamin C across the day means it's getting used more.

I feel most awful between 4pm and 8pm it’s like clock work. Like my sore stomach and sore back I had months ago I fear this symptom or cold will never shift. Maybe one day I wake up it will be all away but doesn’t seem to be gradual? I’ve not had time to ocd due to feeling poor.

Is it a timed release tablet? Bare in mind RDA's for vitamin C are nonsense and far lower than can be taken.
Re: Can anybody recommend a wash basket?
Take vitamin C with zinc. Or vitamins with zinc.
It’s good you are going to work too.
Re: Can anybody recommend a wash basket?
My fear is this is never going away
Should I expect it to suddenly go away one day? Sadly it’s not happening yet
