Not quite the 'flu but...

I've only had the 'flu once and I know it ain't nothing like a cold. But what I've got now comes pretty damn close. I know it can't be as I wouldn't be able to sit here, but shit I feel like crap. Ache all over, the pressure in my head feels like it's going to explode, can't tolerate loud noises (or is that just my kids?) and feel wiped out.

The only drugs I'm taking is Dafalgan, and the trusty hot lemon and honey drink (homemade). If I knew I could get proper drugs I'd go down to the pharmacie, but stuff here is strange. Can't read the packaging so can't properly compare products. Even helpful pharmacists don't beat your own reading of a label. And the packaging on medication is often bland and not well 'marketed', I find. So you can't go after a picture.

Argghhh, rambling...and moaning. Quite common at the moment.
