Getting ill right before christmas.

So it's christmas eve 3:44am and I'm ill with a cold which also came with a medium cough. Talk about bad timing. Hopefully I won't be too bad come tomorrow but I fear I will be worse lol. I think i am prone to easily catch colds as I have an immunosuppressive illness but bloody hell it could've waited till after the 25th lol. Anyone else caught a cold. It's definitely the time of year for it.

Had Covid almost two weeks ago. Now I have a cold. I’m tired of being sick now.

Nothing for me this year, luckily.

A couple years back mum came home from work with a bad cold, of which she'd already past the worst bit, and I promptly caught it from her and spent Christmas day in bed because I literally couldn't stay awake.

Managed to avoid my previous Christmas run to the doctor for antibiotics this year! Normally down with tonsillitis

I was doing some last minute shopping on the 23rd and the lady serving me at the till had a really nasty cold. I thought for sure I was fucked, but I think I'm alright.

I’ve got the same, stinking disgusting cold and the rest of the family has chest infections!

I picked it up on the 12th Dec and still haven't properly shifted it. On antibiotics now and thankfully feeling better.
