I was fine Monday morning,  did all my commercials but by lunch my muscles felt like they had done a whole 10 hours work.

By that night I  knew I was not well,  I took Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off.  I went to the doctor on thursday and he said I have that mild flu virus .  So I thought Stuff it and went to work friday...

I lasted 2 hours and had to call it a day,  knackered, mainly because its in my left lung so its a bit hard to breath.

 I have to clean 2 today but it looks like I have another month (3rd in a row) where I will be a week behind...  bugger

At least you gave it a go. Flu is different to a bad cold and you have no choice but to rest.

If you have the FLU you wont be working.
Had it once was bedded for 8 days could not move.
A cold is not the flu.

You need to be careful of flu virus a mate of mine had the virus he would not listen to the doc and it went into his heart and he died 4 days later.32 years old, wife and 2 kids and he did not do manual work. Virus take advantage of a tired body so if you work you are making it easy for it to take over. If you have a fever  you have a virus. The cold symptoms do not have a fever as they are a bacteria not a virus.

From the 18th Dec - 4Th jan i basically had that new super bug. Constant vomiting and out the other end.

I have gone from just under 17stone to just over 15 stone since the 18th as my stomach is deffo smaller.

One thing i will say is i set myself back a few days by "trying" to work.

Lesson learned, if i am ill again. Work gets forgotten about to an extent
