Dang, Vermi, I hope that you're soon feeling a bit better, dude. Hopefully your new PS5 is providing a wee distraction.

Thanks, it's helped a bit, but yeah, this really has been a bloody awful thing to have.

It's like the DFS sale, it just never seems to end!

This new cough medicine is weird stuff (Boots mucus cough syrup), my sister has tried it before and she warned me it would cause a bit of drowsiness as it used to knock her out at night.

Seems to be quite effective in both helping the cough and causing the drowsiness.

That said, i'm extra tired anyways (to the point that i'm not doing my planned youtube travel vlog work tomorrow) because the way the cough, gunge, and general unwellness has been over the weeks, meant that i've found it hard to eat and so i've not been having as much as i should (i try and make an effort, but it can be difficult sometimes).

I think i'm a trouser size leaner than i was too as a result (though this is most certainly not the way i wanted to do that).

Still little in the way of change, there's a lot of gunge in my throat now and it's making me wretch first thing in the morning.

Suspect i'll end up back at the surgery again at some point so i can be fobbed off once more.

Feel like this thread is becoming my diary of woe now. :dread:

I was tempted to make a thread for you, but the last time I did that, we ended up with forumites getting death threats. :lol:

His last ever post was April 2020. I assume the 5G Covid was stronger in NZ and finished him off.

Just been reading that Olivia Munn has breast cancer and has had 4 surgeries in the last 10 months. Don’t really know her as an actress, but I do remember her in the late naughties during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era hosting various video game themed programming on American cable (G4 I think it was called) and online.

The only thing I remember her from is a couple of Craig Ferguson interviews, she was pretty funny. That's very young, hopefully they caught it before it could spread too much.

Was back in the surgery yesterday, every morning now the cough is making me sick but when it happens, nothing comes out (my temp fluctuates a lot too, it can suddenly spike at the high 37's, then an hour later it's back to normal).

I'm now on a course of antibiotics in case it's a lingering bacterial infection.

In miserable health solidarity with you, Vermi, I am still pretty strawberry floated from the shingles. Have developed a complication from it.

To try and treat it I'm on what initially seems like a strange cocktail of codeine, antidepressant and antihistamine. Trying to get out of bed in the morning is a bloody nightmare.

You have my sympathy, sounds like it's been shite for you too.

Can I join the GRcade sick club? I've had gastritis since December last year and really can't seem to shake it

Probably not helping by my boozing last month mind you....

I'm not sick, but am willing to pretend I am if I get a sponge bath.

I'm genuinely impressed that I didn't participate in that thread.
