[kwak zzr]

[shonadoll]

i've been feeling pretty shoddy since friday, failry similar but not rear end problems thankfully.

on a slightly seperate note (and a slight old man rant, lol) why "man flu" you sound genuinely ill and are really just getting on with it. why has this 'label' been put on us hard done by blokes? ;) it's just one of those sayings that really gets on my proverbial breasts!

hope you're feeling better soon kwack

[maviczap]

Yes, one of my team had this. Doc said it was 'Stomach flu' which you can look up on NHS direct.

Knocked the stuffing out of him. So proper ill, not 'Man flu'.

get well soon. I've got a cold, so I'm feeling pretty carp too, but not that bad.:(

[Shellywoozle]

You sure you're note going cold turkey from alcohol? :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear ya poorly Daz hope you feel better soon, hope you feeling better for your Wed night out :)

[Neeja]

Man down; has hit me hard today. I've been feeling off for the past 2 weeks, but today I've struggled to do anything at all.

[Jayneflakes]

Hot flushes? Perhaps you are pregnant? :p

Ahh no way, Hot flushes are indicators of Menopause. :smt019

Trust me I know...:(

As to why a guy would get them, it has to be either a fever or removal of the hormone producing glands that produce Testosterone.

Hmm, so come clean, which was it really? :smt044

[custard]

have succumbed to it meself.

spent yesterday wondering if it was bad form to throw up over my desk...

the joy of day time tv!

[Drew Carey]

Me toooooooooooo.......

So far the symptoms are achey all over, hot and cold, headaches, sore throat, chesty cough and dizziness.....

I have been in bed / sofa since Sunday, Lily is now also ill, My parents are both ill too (they started it from a freind!!!!).

Sucks, but feeling slightly better so may try work tommorow. Hope the others are feeling better soon.

[Kate Moss]

There is so much flu going around our place the resident GP has adviced us to go and get the flu jab!

I have been fighting a cold off and thank fully it has not developed into anything too bad yet!

Phil has had man flu - jeez, how you men suffer.

[Tara]

everyone seems to have the stomach bug going round at the min. althought the colds and flu are just about starting

[maviczap]

Having been really ill last Christmas with a chest infection and no access to a GP, all I can say to raise your spirits is at least you're ill this week and not over Christmas.

I spent all of last Christmas flaked out on the sofa, hoping I would get better and I didn't until I went to see the Doc. Then my holiday was over and I had to go back to work :smt019

Still I got to watch loads of films whilst everyone was out :)

It'll pass in a couple of days, then you'll be alright for Christmas :p

Then all the weight you've lost can be put back on by stuffing your face with turkey and xmas pud.:rolleyes:
