Weird bug

Been rough for a couple of weeks now, so has the missus. Aches, pains, muzzy head, lack of energy and propensisty to sleep for hours during the day.

And bizarrely, a strange symptom of this bug is that it makes you really tetchy. Me and SY02 have joked it's like that "rage" virus from the 28 days later film, with zombies and stuff.

It comes in waves, and you think you are getting better, then you get another wave of it.

Anyone else got it?

If not carbon monoxide, do you close the bedroom windows on chilly nights? Or have you had the house draught-proofed this year?

Simple lack of adequate ventilation can make you feel groggy and affect your sleep quality, leading to grumpiness. (And in that state you're more likely to flip up interviews, which could be expensive.)

If so, simply hack a large hole in the wall and ceiling and install a decent fire place with chimney on the roof (see recent thread).

P.S. Also, don't drink tea or coffee of any sugary stuff after 8pm.
 
Can't the box blue screened.

I don't geddit, sorry zips. What has amphetamine and my outside boiler got in common. :laugh

Could jus be you need a bit of a tonic/pick me up. It gets like that at this time of yesr. It was a silly remark anyway.

What are the main chemical culprits? Formaldehyde in MDF stuff (almost all cheap furniture). Exotic fireproofing chemicals in fabrics...lurgies ...?
