Urgh when is this crappy cold, flu thing going to go away!

Everyone I know is sick at the moment, it keeps going round and round.

Nothing helps. Hate it hate it hate it!

It's the dust, Choco.

Bacteria and viruses enjoy a free ride on all the dusts particles in the air.
Dubai needs more rain.

I had flu, took me nearly two weeks to fully recover and i'm still coughing.

It's the darn weather. The other day when it was all hazy and dusty, we guys played some football.......that night was the beginning of a crazy bout of coughs. Just a bad cough coupled with headaches, no fever, no running nose, nothing. The same story with some of my mates playin that night.
But the coughs were real bad, bad enough to make my stomach hurt every-time I'd cough. Went to the doc, got some medication and a shot on ma tush, am ok now. But since then the weather has kinda cleared up.
The doc said that playin in such dusty conditions messed up my system. Mind you there was no construction site nearby, we were playing on a proper football ground. It was just the atmosphere, these dry incoming winds, that bring in a hazy concoction of dust and God alone knows what else.

You got this again?, you have to start developing some sort of immunity

When I get the flu .. i take a day off and rest .. sleep and just chill for a whole day... by the next morn I am on the road to recovery ... usually helps if you listen to your body.... but then thats just me

I've been pretty lucky so far and have been flu free for a while, Mashalah.

But I've had a pretty relaxing summer.

Are you working too hard? That usually does it.
