hogmaw Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have now had this cold for ages. Sore throat, green snot, coughing and sneezing EVERY day for 4 weeks now. It's getting to be a proper nuisance. Is that a record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thats good going.. mines only been about for 2 days. How about a hot curry, that'll help shift it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I had the shits for 6 weeks last year. Do I win a prize? The doctor put it down to stress. I put it down to Vodka and either tonic or orange and regular to visits to my local Chinese...!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 8 weeks for me, you've got a bit to go yet to beat my old record. My problem was i didnt do anything about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have chest related problems, noone knows what it is so it's labelled as asthma. This leaves me with all your symptoms, minus the sore throat, with additional breathing issues for the whole winter period....... it's a fecking nightmare.

I had this a couple of years ago and an operation sorted it for a while but they have come back but not as bad as before. I used to always feel bunged up, headaches around my forehead (sinus blockage) difficulty breathing and at night it was really bad as I was breathing through my mouth all the time and snoring. Get to the docs and see if they'll have a look up your nose..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I've had the shits for 6 weeks and had blood in it for the last 2-3 weeks. Doctors said nothing's wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Curry, vitamin C, bat wing soup... nothing can shift a cold. And I'm not going to the doctor saying 'Boo hoo I have a cold...' with all the other numpties. I'd rather just moan about it on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that is what it is as I have had various chest x-rays and soundings etc, I wheeze like an old man when entering a hot or cold area (Change of temperature seriously brings it on badly). Also, I can't remember the last time I took a breath through my nose. I was never able to breathe comfortably through my nose as a kid, might even be down to the "asthma". Having broken my nose a few times will have added to that lol. Curry, vitamin C, bat wing soup... nothing can shift a cold. And I'm not going to the doctor saying 'Boo hoo I have a cold...' with all the other numpties. I'd rather just moan about it on here The lemsip max strength powder things actually DO work. They will perk you up for a few hours anyway. I was really under the weather last year and my Wife got me some of those, I don't really take things like that as they rarely act as anything other than a placebo but I made it through a rough few days at work thanks to those bad boys.

hogmaw Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes I take that stuff but like you say it just alleviates the symptoms temporarily. Then it starts all over again. My mate in Edinburgh had similar symptoms to you. He just had an operation on the NHS last week to widen the passages in his nose. Time will tell whether it works or not.

Ricky49 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I've had the shits for 6 weeks and had blood in it for the last 2-3 weeks. Doctors said nothing's wrong.. I wouldn't listen to a GP (guess practitioner) if I was pooing blood, I'd be straight to A+E with a bucket full to show them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having broken my nose a few times will have added to that lol. The change of temperature thing is classic Asthma Scott. This time of year is the worst for me but I have inhalers that I take everyday. If you stick to the course they do stop it. I have never been good at keeping to routines though. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Make ginger tea with fresh, grated ginger. Make it as strong as you can handle. Cures anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wouldn't listen to a GP (guess practitioner) if I was pooing blood, I'd be straight to A+E with a bucket full to show them. It's only a bit of blood and it's fresh so they said it's not really a problem. They sent a sample off for tests and it came back fine. I've got another appointment next Thursday so we'll see what they say this time. But still, it's not good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have a cold every winter, for the entire winter, my body does not cope with the cold very well at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yep - the last cold I had pretty much continuously from September till the beginning of this month. It really sucked, just when I thought I was getting rid of it, it started up again. Nightmare business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Do you have a boyfriend that you dont know about? That's what she said! It really is, the doctor asked if I was in a "sexual relationship" so I said "yes". She then asked "with a female?". All options exhausted. Maybe that would sort it though.... You have PM.
