Okay I have had enough of it now, a week of being ill and feeling like rubbish. Anyone got a cures?

I tell yu bugs seem to be everywhere. I whave been off work for the first time in 7 years , I took a very pad infection in my facial glands. It is unilateral so know it isn't mumps etc  I have had 3 different types of antibiotics. It started 10 days ago by monday it was quite bad and very painful and only today have I noticed a reduction in pain and the swelling.

I think last years mild winter has a lot to answer for..

Sorry I didn't answer your question. :-) I guess plenty rest and water :-)

chop up some lemons, add to pan of lemonade (or water if preferred), add honey. Boil. Simmer. Drink whilst warm :)
mmmm ........  luberley

thank you will try that, worst part is my balance is all over the place, if I stand for any period of time I get light headed. The up side is I have lost weight and am now down to 7st 5. I think i would prefer to be a little bit heavier and healthy.

Lots of rest....Tis the best cure i'm afraid!

I had it a few christmasses ago.
Started on Xmas eve and didnt even have the energy to wrap presents :( :( :(
Only reason I made it out of bed was because it wa sXmas and my parents were great ferrying me to theirs and looking after kids while I slept :o :o
The only time I felt any where near normal for the time I had it was when I had a hot toddy :o I was able to stay awake for more than half hour and talk LOL
Whisky, lemon juice, honey and hot water :)
Hope your feeling better soon :) :) :)
Lea :) :)
