No, real flu AFAICT. Only had it once before ( and maybe as a kid). Not

That does sound more like 'flu but into the recovery phase now. Could
you have succeeded in the £50 test a week ago?

Hope the sinus trouble improves, that pain is on par with ear and/or
tooth ache. Have you tried making like a bat? Lie face down on a bed
then hang off the edge so you head is upside down, it'll be bloody
agony to start with but may well drain things out so have some
tissues/kitchen roll handy. The relief is worth the pain...
