Tell me about it, this year has had a bumper crop of viruses in the UK, with two particularly bad ones. The one that I have had lasts for 6-8 weeks and just chucks different symptoms at you each week, muscular pain then a bad head cold then a bad chest then chills, fever and dizziness then sneezing and runny nose, absolute nightmare. The other one (that touch wood) i have not had, but it basicly involves puking and bad stomach upsets and lasts for a week. Jeeez, who need to worry about bird flu hey.
