Going down with flu isn't good at the best of times. It's more unpleasant when you've missed a fair bit of work because of depression, and (a) need to build up a better attendance record (b) can't afford financially to be sick. It's particularly bad when you've just started taking a new drug that can cause "a shortage of white blood cells, lowering the body's resistance to infection". Apparently I am supposed to tell the doctor immediately if I have a fever or sore throat. Bloody surgery's closed, so I'd better get offline to call NHS Direct and find out if I should call the emergency doctor or just wait until the morning. And after that I guess I should call work and tell them I'm ill. Damnit!
