Virus?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

At my work (a primary school) a lot of the staff have got a bug that leaves you feeling fine, but dizzy almost all the time

I've had it since Saturday, and it's just as bad as it's ever been, with no sign of it departing

Anyone else got/had it, and if so, how long does it last, as I'm bored of it now

[WhichDawg]

eek! I hope it passes and you feel better buddy.

[Whoey]

yikes, been fighting something for the past week over here too... thought I was over it and then it flared back up again...

I suspect that by now all your multis will be contaminated, I'll happily dispose of them for you 

[Benner]

Yup got it here and have done for 3 days now.  Most of my staff have it as well, so they have of course been off sick leaving me to struggle. 

[nuphoria]

Been a bit lergified here for a few days too - quite bored of it now 

I have had a nasty headache sinus thing and lots of lethargy... general malaise but nothing specific.

Let's hope the sunshine helps to fight all this cr*p off for everyone

It's the "new normal", absolutely nothing to worry about.

I had something similar a couple of weeks back.  Having a daughter in nursery means you end up getting every little sniffle going, or so it seems anyway.   Children are infectious little rats sometimes.

Try that, AND work with kids that dribble all over ya.  I get a new illness each week.

Thanks for the offer Ben, but I reckon I'll pass.

[Benner]

Just think how many germs I'll be immune to in a few years time.

Just think of how fewer I'll never come in contact with.

Is it me or is there more bugs around these days, i dont seem to get a bog standard cold, always a full on flu virus thing,  plus makes me laugh with my job as work with old folk that are ill so catch most things at work ,then cant work as will give it to them and then dont get sick pay  sorry just a rant  and yes benner kids are the worse, mine come back from nursery with a new bug every 2 weeks

Actually, is giving kids those soap- less hand sanitizers useful? I've heard that they are rather effective for illness prevention, and am contemplating giving a bottle to my little kid cousin.

i think we are too bubble wrapped these days as everything including are food is sanitized in some way, our immune systems are not as good as they was BITD , well thats my theory  i remember as a kid picking carrots etc and just eating them, now a days you would get throwned at, eat dirt thats what i say

This seems to come up a lot in the discussion group for the PG Public Interest Research Group (PGPiRG) in my university. I agree with you, that the more insulated we become, the worse these things hit us. I ate dirt and played in the mud, and I am never really sick ever. I also lead a very stress-free life (as a student, figure that ) which is another major cause of these bugs. And lets not forget the genetically engineered foods we eat, with more chemicals than nutrients

Nothing really is on our side these days.

Im curious Mike, how is riding a bike going for you with this dizziness? 

[Zed]

 (I also lead a very stress-free life ) I think shane this is my problem as i live the opposite, plus work nights and jungle the kids, so generally feel run down a lot,
