    Started last Wednesday felt a little cold coming out of Meadowhall. Didn't think anything of it. Thursday was a definitely something, but nothing major. Friday just about well enough to work from home... Then I have never been so ill as I have since Saturday morning. Alternating uncontrollable shivering with mad sweats, barely able to move, eat, drink, or do much of anything. Finally back at work today - and only because I can WFH and we've got a deadline tomorrow for a bid. If I had to go to an office, it'd be next week at the earlier.

    0/10. Do not recommend. Flu jab for me in future

    @Scoff I had the exact same a couple of weeks back, with the same timeline you describe. Truly the worst thing I've had. Strangely my partner didn't catch it though. Even stranger though is that I also work in bids!

    Hope you're 100% soon. Flu jab is a good idea. I had one last November for the first time and not had a sniffle at all over winter, which is unusual for me.

    I still don't take the flu jab (at the moment), to be honest.
    But this worries me that with Covid always being there, lurking around in the corner somewhere. Maybe I/we should take this more seriously!. :eek:

    There's been another covid variant (FLiRT) doing the rounds which seems to have sailed under the radar of mainstream media although last week, New infections were starting to reduce a little so hopefully the peak has passed. Given waning immunity and the diminished groups allowed to have a booster, I suspect symptoms will be a little worse than previously.

    Me and Mrs Statis had a similar thing. Someone suggested we test for covid which I never though of, assuming it was long gone. We both tested and both had it. Still don’t feel 100%

    I only had flu once and was in bed for 3 days all the other times when I thought I had caught it wasn't. So I payed for the jab ever since till I got it for free for being old, best tenners worth ever spent.

    I get the jab automatically through work. No brainer really. Only personal advice I can give is don't have it together with the Covid jab. Most people are fine but I was ill for two or three days.
