Overcoming The Dreaded Lurgy

As mentioned previously, I haven't been at all well the last couple of weeks. I've still managaed to keep up with all the little jobs and odds and ends I have to do but I haven't been feeling at all well. I haven't gone out of my way to court sympathy but have nontheless received some, which is always nice.

I've had a headache almost constantly for the past two week along with a sore throat, some abdonimal pains and a persistently annoying cough. After struggling with these symptons for about a week I started using a vapour rub and taking Blackcurrant Lemsips to ease them and ended up feeling better over the weekend.

Sunday evening, however, I was back to being as bad as I had at any point previously. Anyway, doing some shopping for Dad on Monday I stocked up on some medication for myself. I spent most of yesterday and all day today sipping Hot Lemon & Honey Beechams, taking doses of a mentholated bronchial balsam, sucking cherry flavoured Olbas menthol lozenges and Ibuprofen.

I feel better now than I have any point in the last fortnight. I won't tempt fate but will continue to self-medicate the rest of this evening and tomorrow and hope that I have finally beaten the dreaded lurgy.
