I got it for the first time on Friday; first two days were horrible, aching joints and kidneys, only a bit snuffly and coughing. Then Saturday & Sunday were awful just in a different way, with wild temperature fluctuations, feel fine one minute then next sweating bullets. Saturday was a bit scary where all of a sudden my temperature dropped and started shivering like mad, had to get under the duvet and blankets and warm back up.

Mostly just snuffly head now, keeping on top of pain meds, cycling paracetamol & ibuprofen has kept the worst of it at bay I think. I don’t get sick often so not a lot to compare to, but definitely worse than any flu i’ve had recently enough to remember.
