I have had a cold since the very beginning of April. It started with a slight sore throat but took quite a while to build up and has never been bad enough to keep me off work though I did consider cancelling a holiday at 1 point. I went on the trip and suffered a bit during the first week but felt better during the 2nd week. I keep thinking that it has almost cleared up and then it comes back again the following week and takes me by surprise. This pattern has repeated about 4 times. I am slightly bunged up, slight temperature some of the time, mild headache occasionally, occasional sneezing and a cough which was never bad but doesn't want to clear. Has anyone else had something similar? One colleague has so i wonder whether others have had such a long lasting one?
