Yes: I'm ill. I'm dying. Or at least it feels like I am.
I like to pride myself on my immune system: I never take tablets of any kind - Anadin, paracetamol, Neurofen etc. - and I make sure I get regular intakes of various vitamins and I drink one of those Actimal/Yakult/Müller pro-biotic things each day. It works for me and keeps colds and things at bay. Or so I thought.
On Tuesday - due to a bad series of events including a blazing row with the ex-missus/carer, my mum being in a decidedly annoying mood and my auntie's computer being a complete beech - I hardly had anything to eat (a pasty and a BoostTM) or drink (a single cup of coffee). By the end of the day I was feeling low, tired and depressed.
So, when I woke on Wednesday morning I discovered I had the mother-of-all sore throats - usually the first sign on any oncoming illness - so I spend most of the day making up for what I didn't do the day before: drinking plenty and eating healthily. But ... it was too late.
The sore throat got worse and, because I couldn't partake of my usual pain relief methods (!), all my aches and pains were amplified - my back ached, my arms ached and my legs ached. If Death had knocked on my front door I'd have let him in, sat him down, made him a drink and then let him have his way.
I felt marginally better this morning, but by midday it was painfully clear that it was just a lull in the onslaught - later this afternoon saw me having a headache of all things (a rare occurence).
I have discovered that one of the best ways to soothe a sore throat is freezing cold water; unfortunately, combined with the overdose of vitamin C, this has the knock-on of causing more trips to the toilet than usual, and therefore more physical effort and more aches.
Still, it could be worse. Actually, no: it couldn't.
Bleurgh.

Nononononono!
You've got it all wrong! You're supposed to be saying things to make me feel better, not telling me other people are ill as well.
Don't you understand? I'm the illest person in the universe!!!!
Etc.

I've got a sore throat, but you don't see me writing 346 words about it. It's true what women say. We are all wimps.
