Cold, feeling run down 6 weeks+ now

[TopTrump]

I've had a slightly runny nose, slight cough and feeling generally sinusy for a while now- over 6 weeks. Been to docs twice but they seemed happy my chest sounded clear. I went to the US a week ago and I'm not sure if I'm jetlagged, still sick or what now. The pressurisation on landing was immense though.

Worried it's more serious- anyone else got something similar. It's not anything bad just culmination of many bits and pieces. Fed up.

I am on immune suppressants too (Humira)

Anyone else with something similar?

I heard of similar that was due to low vitamin b12 levels. Could be worth getting them checked?

There is another thread going called Latest lurgy or similar.

Lots of people have had mild colds for weeks and weeks that they can't shift. I had it last year

Thanks both, noted on both. Been one of those winters! Bring on the sun

Just to add you have my sympathy!

It is the year - I was down for a month with a lurgy my daughter kicked in 2 days. Others in the immediate area were down for 6 weeks, some 2 months.

As you say, bring on the sun!

I had a nasty cough for 4 months, constantly coughing up crap and suffering from various weekly colds some worse than others. Even a bout of tonsillitis recently..

Cleared up by itself and now feeling normal for about 3 weeks.

An absolutely miserable time, I blame COVID as have never experienced anything like that pre-2019

Covid or the jab, or both.
