Man Flu

[hongman]

I have man flu and it isnt getting better :(

I figured all your sympathy (or laughter...) might help.

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Sucks to be you :(

Get well soon.

Man Flu is no myth (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7505207/Man-flu-is-no-myth-as-scientists-prove-men-suffer-more-from-disease.html)

For all the women out there ;)

I have contracted it too. Moaned all afternoon at work and I know I'll feel worse tonight. I joined the gym at lunch but ended up putting it off tonight.

Lets have a cuddle Reeder

No, I don't want to be molested as well as have man flu. I appreciate the sentiment however... :D

[hongman]

You have no idea on what you're missing out on

I'm going to bed again

Night

I was always told that the true test of flu was that if someone dropped a £50 notes (adjusted for age and inflation) beside your bed (note, bed. If you had flu that's where you'd be) then you wouldn't be able or inclined to get up and pick it up.

Anything less than this is a touch of a cold or food poisoning!

HTH! x

[hongman]

Well I have been in bed, just come down to cook something bland to eat (plain rice) as I am staving but my throat hurts too much for any hard food.

A £50 note however...

[FG1]

I'd swap your man flu for my vertigo in an instant. And you can have the £50 too.

Unlucky fella, it's worse than child birth apparently.

Oh 10x worse, lol.

My only remedy for man flu is Scotch and Ginger Ale. Keep it flowing until the flu disappears. Not too much mind you just enough to keep you mellow. In fact Scotch and Ginger works for just about any ailment, at least it does for me.
I think I feel a cold coming on, time for a nightcap!

Spent most of the night trying to get to sleep and finally got up after waking the Mrs.
If only I'd read this before I took some pain killers for my knee (doh!).

I'm sniffling today, I blame on the fact I don't bother with a coat in the morning because by the time rolls around to go home it'll be flippin' 'ot outside and I'll just need to carry it around.

But yes, hongman, strong liquor. Make a hot toddy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_toddy) and booze yourself into oblivion.

[hongman]

Well this morning I feel a bit better. Still very achy, a bit shivery, and my throat feels like it has knives in it though.

Hoping by end of play today I shall be all better, thanks for all your support haha.

Oh, and I'm allergic (for lack of a better word) to alcohol, so no easy way out for me :(

[metalangel]

Ice cream, then. Don't watch daytime TV, though, it'll just make you sicker.

I am suffering more today.
My stomache is so dodgy I have to go into another room to pass gas in fear of making myself sick if I do it where I'm sitting. My nose is completely blocked and I think I've gone deaf because of it. Im freezing cold and I ache too.

Just eaten two massive oranges to try and perk myself up!

Another victim here, wasn't ill during the winter despite all around me having bugs & colds.

Why is it always on my day off, haven't taken a sickie at work in ages

[Geodude]

Juice from a whole lemon in a mug with a big spoonful of honey topped up with hot water, works for me :)

[hongman]

Loads of people are ill at the moment. Just got back from a client visit to find half the office empty becuase people called in sick.

Must be something going round...

[maviczap]

Must be something going round...

Yes, you spreading all your germs ;)

[hongman]

Muahahahaha!

[Reeder]

Germ wh*re.

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Oh dear, if you start showing signs of 'the madness' I'm afraid the outlook doesn't look too good :smt073

How are the patients this morning?

[Reeder]

I am actually feeling quite a bit better. Yesterday was awful.
I still officially have a cold and it sucks, but its been downgraded to that from man flu.

[hongman]

I am feeling loads better today thanks! :)

Only lingering symptoms are sore throat and a slight headache which is annoying more than anything else.

The worst symptom (for me), fever, is more or less gone. Got up to 104 Wednesday night, and had a relapse to 102 last night around 10. Quick dose of Panadol sorted that out.

So yeap, feeling much more alive today. Just as well, still have to work!

I attribute my recovery to your active support in this matter!

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Glad to hear you're both on the mend.

I'm guessing maviczap has either not seen this post or has been incinerated to prevent further spread.

[hongman]

Well if he has, dibs on his gsxr front end!

[maviczap]

A man barely alive today, the lemsips working ok at the moment, legs ache, tired, full of snot

Worse still I have to go and see the dental hyginest this afternoon, I tried to reschedule, but I would have been charged, so feck that.

Work tomorrow and Sunday, then most of next week off.

Glad I got it this week, as I'm off to Poland on the 16th.

Caramel coffee & biscuits now

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Well if he has, dibs on his gsxr front end!
Better get on Ebay hongman.

Swore I just saw you in Morissons maviczap, but then I realised I was just being silly and it was clearly just your identical twin :)

There's only one version of me, they broke the mould for obvious reasons

[Reeder]
