Latest Virus? - adults not kids

[Lastcenturymum]

Just wondering what the symptoms of the latest one doing the rounds are.

Our boarder (20 yo) has nausea (male, so not pregnant:laughing: ) aching back, headache and has slept most of the day.

I've done the 'got a temp/stiff neck/can't stand bright lights stuff so suspect just the latest.

Lucky we have a big house so hopefully we don't all get it:fingerscrossed:

I have something yucky that DP had... headache in the back of the head, stiff neck, itchy and sore throat, feeling quite lethargic...

I've heard my brother has it too...

Took poor lad to the Dr today. He is really ill. Latest virus apparently. The Dr gave him sleeping pills as he isn't sleeping at night (just during the day) I feel like I should make him some chicken soup or something.

I hope you feel better soon there are some shocking bugs going around i had one a few weeks back i just felt sick, seedy and generally not quiet there, i had hot flushes the shakes nausia etc doc said it was one of those things then the kids got it and i ended up with a shocking cough guess it was the start to the flu. I know it pretty much knocked me for six though and all i wanted to do was rest

Cant help, but he did sleep for about 3 days then bounced back (don't you hate the vitality of 20 year olds who get 8 hours sleep a night:rolleyes: )

Hope you all feel better soon:hugs: I didn't get it, but feel 'under par' Better get to bed

i am a 20 year old who gets woken up at the crack of dawn by a little monster every morning! hehe. not that id have it any other way, but it does suck when im sick! makes me miss my parents :laughing:

That's exactly what I had Karen... actually, it's still kinda there. I've had it for about 2 weeks now... it's only the remnants, but it's mostly just really sore throat at night.

No idea why, but yeah... I hate it.
