coughs and colds are back - who's suffering?

mulbs Oct 2021 11:13am, 11 Oct 2021 14,053 posts	0 mulbs Literally as I walked to the tube station on Sunday after sauntering my way around the marathon I started to feel a cough taking hold, which exploded into a full on head cold and as the gift that keeps on giving has now added conjunctivitis, tonsillitis, a blocked ear and a cold sore to its list of attractive ailments. Anyone else feeling sorry for themselves while soldiering on?

mulbs Oct 2021 9:29am, 12 Oct 2021 14,054 posts	0 mulbs I keep expecting to feel better, and it doesn't help that if I go out for a walk and cough (in the open air and not close to anyone) it feels like I'm doing something illegal/taboo.

Hanneke Oct 2021 12:36am, 15 Oct 2021 80,893 posts	0 Hanneke I also had a horrible one about a month ago. Can't remember when I last had one. Used to have one a year when still in London, but since moving to a thinly populated area, I rarely have one.
