Thought it was a winter thing? Ive had my worst ever case of it for the last few days. Banging headache, everything hurts from head to toe. Freezing cold one minute, sweating like a pig the next. And weak as a kitten. Most inconvenient, as I have a lot of things I need to do. ::)
Told swmbo last night that I fear the end might be near. She laughed so hard she was nearly sick. :( :D

You're a very lucky chap to still be here to tell the tale! :o :y

You would only need to really worry, if she asked where your life insurance documents were ::)

Had the same a few weeks back, felt like death for about 4 days. :(
Must be travelling North.

More deadly than Ebola. :-\
-
I believe that to be scientifically proven. :y
Tbh, I'm not good at dealing with being ill. Don't mind cuts, bruises, a smack on the snout, a kick in the nuts,even the odd fracture, but feeling ill, I just cant handle. ;D
-
Yeah,same as Chris...I had it a few weeks back and missed Billing because of it....timing was great! it came on quickly with the same symptons 38+ temperature etc and after 3 days it went as quick as it came.....weird shit! :o BTW don't expect any sympathy....they just don't understand man flu..but we feel your pain :)

I'm just so glad I don't live anywhere near you lot ;D

With no running water, heating or drainage, you have nothing to worry about :D

It is Winter! .... A local GP surgery is having an open day in a couple of weeks for the Winter Flu Jab ::) :y
For those suffering man flu .... you need to sweat it out of you....so good excuse for a ruby murry, the hotter the better :y
Plus you need to keep hydrated, so several beers while consuming the curry will help :y
-
Cant face beer, due to the mother of all headaches, but drinking plenty of fluids. I'm running with sweat without resorting to eating a ruby. ;)

Man up ya big jessie...it's only the sniffles ;D
Unless of course you have genuine Man Flu... In which case, you have our sincerest condolences :-*

Ok....so heres advice that my dad gave me when I had man flu.....goto bed, two duvets if poss and leave the heating on in the bedroom overnight {It was winter tho)....I sweated like a pig all night....changed my tshirt several times during the night (usually sleep in tshirt and boxers).....but by morning it had worked....I was cured :y

A variation is:
Two paracetamol, a stout Scotch/Bourbon, a four season sleeping bag inside a survival bag and switch the phone off. In that order.
Let someone know who can check on you in three days time, but all things being equal, you'll be conscious in two days, and as above cured :y

And you'll be very thin! ;D

That's not man flu! It's the real, viral flu infection that makes whoever gets it feel like that have already died, and not noticed it, for over a week. Take some paracetamol, mix a couple of your favourite hot toddies and go to bed until you feel noticeably better. Then mooch about the house moaning until you infect the other occupants so they can experience the full ghastliness of it. Hopefully, they'll get the diarrhoea that you've avoided. A mutation of it is what killed more people than WW1 in the years afterwards.
Man flu is like PMT; you get it, they suffer from the effects.

Spanish flu, I think.

There is a lot of sneering, especially from women, when the term "man flu" is used, but it IS real and true that men suffer disproportionately from the ailment:-

I'm not sure how scientific the curry-and-beer treatment is, but it surely will make you FEEL better!
I can, however, vouch for the efficacy of the big sweat, as outlined by others above; quite unpleasant to sleep in a pool of your own sweat, but a day or two will have you revitalised.

A few years ago I got "festival flu". So, what's that ? . . . .
We all know about music festivals, Glastonbury, Isle Of Wight, Leeds/Reading, Download etc
Take about 100,000+ or so people. Cram them into a fairly small space, oh they haven't washed, showered, shat or shaved for a few days . . . . and then throw a flu virus or so in.
I once heard it described as "deep throating razor blades". I'll go with that, plus two weeks feeling like S***t
Man Flu ? . . . . . lightweights. I stopped going to festivals.

Your lady wouldn't be laughing so much if she contracted "man flu" it's a medical fact that in the female of the species it is fatal in 98.4 in of all cases!!! ;)
