it is the season for exotic diseases.....

Houghy, if you want a definite diagnosis get a referral to an infectious diseases physician/clinic in one of the big city hospitals; a 'bacterial based bug' would not be good enough for me.

I dunno if this is weird, but whatever is going around at the moment, it's a bugger Houghy.

My wife had what I thought was the flu, perfect flu symptoms off work for 4 days. Croaky voice for 3 days.
2 days in, I got a real bad cough, chest infection and very heavy sinuses. I was off work for 3 days (well 2 and a half).
Copped a huge coughing fit, made my stomach muscles hurt after 3 days. I had a croaky voice for days.
Oh man.

2 weeks, round of anti-biotics, an inhaler, sudafed and nasal decongestant later, I still have a stuffed up nose. Doc told me it was a bug I copped off the wife, went to her for a cholesterol test a week later and said I've still got the bug, now said it was allergies.
Never had allergies and a bit annoyed that it's been classified as allergies and palmed off.

But whatever this is, it's a doozy. A few other people I know have exactly the same thing, it hangs for weeks/months.

Hope you get better soon, Houghy.

Geez Houghy, I just noticed this thread.

Mate, get well. It's no fun being sick.

Are they going to give you an Astrogearectomy? (the operation where they remove your ApatureDrool Gland)

[wavelandscott (Scott)]

Hope you get back to 100% soon...some of the bugs around can be quite nasty. Hang in there and just remember that Spring and good health are on the way for you where as we here in the Great White North are approaching fall/winter and cold and yucky weather.

And we're really glad you made it up Dave.
It was wonderful to catch up again.

Alto' I could have lived without the image of full body rash, you have my deepest sympathy!!! Both Carron and I were laid-low by something last month.
The rash makes it sound like an allergy (if you haven't had Measles, Chicken Pox and its not Meningitis).
Get back to the doctor as, contrary to accepted wisdom, you CAN have more than one thing wrong with you.
I had 7, and nearly died. So keep nagging 'em!
