    Right. I've had a cold thing for nearly four weeks now. Started with knock-you-over fluey thing and

    has just sort of continued with blocked nose, headache, coughing, phlegm, sore throat ever since - with a particular spike this weekend gone where my temperature shot up again.

    My wife wants me to go to the doctor, but I'm fiercely resistant to being the sort of c**t who goes to the doctor because he's got a bit of a sniffle. On the other hand, I'm quite bored with constantly feeling ****e.

    So what say you, AWIMB? Tough it out and hope for the best or go and almost certainly be told by some gob****e who's just googled my symptoms to take aspirin and drink plenty of water and no we'll wait a while before prescribing antibiotics, etc, etc?

    I and the glw have had this hanging about for a couple of weeks, as you say coming and going.

    It appears to be a thing.

    Other than prescribing antibiotics, which are almost certainly utterly irrelevant to your condition, there is f**k all the doctor can do.

    The glw would advise a course of hot lemon, honey and scotch. I prescribe getting over yourself.

    The only reason I suspect antibiotics might come in handy is that some of the phlegm I've been

    producing has been quite spectacular in terms of consistency and colour. You could bounce some of it off the walls.

    Still, you're probably right. Best just to get on with it, I suppose. Very annoying to have an illness that drags on like this without garnering one any sympathy imo. At least with the cankers you get sympathy.

    Natural yoghurt, nature's antibiotic. That's the job.

    Cures anything, natural yoghurt.

    This morning I had explosive diarrhea and vomiting. The battle continues to rage within.

    Jesus Wept! Explosive, you say? Ought you not perhaps to present your carcass to a sawbones and have

    him prod you in intimate places?

    Good Lord no. As the poet tells us, this too shall pass.

    I suspect that mixing oysters and mussels in one meal may have been an error, but as there is no crippling pain nor yet evidence of internal bleeding, I shall rely upon my little internal soldiers to overcome the invading army.

    You have introduced the yellow peril into your system, though. There are swarms of them.

    Your white corpuscles are as the Glosters on the Imjin River - fighting heroically, but doomed to be swamped by sheer numbers.
