Yuck, feeling rotten. If I were still employed I'd be off sick today. Started feeling uncomfortable yesterday evening, headache, bellyache and constipation, felt cold. By the time I got to bed, wearing a nightdress and socks for the first time this winter, I was shivering. Didn't get properly to sleep before 04:00. Woke up at 10:00 feeling a little better, warm at least. Turned over and looked at the clock and it was 12:00!

Not shivering now but still feeling very tired. It was a nice bright sunny day today but I didn't feel up to going for a walk and certainly not for exercising.

Sorry you aren't feeling better. Staying in bed iand resting is good medicine

@turbineman40 Thank you. But I hate staying in bed! I feel much more comfortable up and dressed, pottering about doing very simple things that require little effort or thought. And if I suddenly feel too tired or cold I'll just wrap myself in one of the many fluffy blankets my wife accumulated and have a nap on the couch.

@ninalanyon Drink any green tea?

@JSul3 Almost never. I don't like it much. I drink plenty of black tea though. In my experience these things pass off by themselves regardless of what one eats or drinks. The trick is simply to remain comfortable while waiting for the body to do its own thing. And of course to not do anything too strenuous.
