That is a really good example of how it can be confusing!!! Scarey.
Phillipa, I don't live near you, so don't know what might be 'going around' there.
It sounds like you might have something. I suppose you could always phone your doctor's office & ask if there's anything going around & if so, what are the symptoms. Sometimes, if I'm on the phone with my doctor's nurse about something else (like making an appointment or something) I'll ask her if many people are sick right now. If they are & they have the symptoms that I have, it feels reassuring.
I usually don't go to the doctor for flu/cold - type symptoms because often they're caused by a virus & the doc can't do anything about a virus anyway! If it's bacterial, that's different.
I always push Vitamin C if I'm starting to feel a sore throat; headache; tired, etc. And echinecea.
Several weeks ago, I began to take Astragalus (a herb). Before that, I was getting sick every couple of weeks!! Since taking it, I notice I'm not getting sick like I was!
I send hugs Phillipa. Hope you're feeling better today.
luv, Kath
