Title: Man Flu
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 31 March 2023, 13:12:52
I fear I am not long for this world. Two days ago, I woke up with a sore throat. Yesterday, sore throat, aching, tired and lethargic.

Today, my nose is streaming like a tap and burning up, I feel like there's a concrete block on my head, my eyes are running, I've lost a lot of my appetite, and I am as grumpy as %$&^.

I made myself a hot-toddy at midday, by mixing the juice of half a lemon, a generous dollop of honey, a glug of whiskey and some boiling water.

It was lovely while it lasted and soothed my throat and nose, but I can't keep drinking them one after the other. Can I?  ::)

I think I'm going to bed  >:( :-[

Are you sure it isn't the Chinese sniffle, James? ::)

Of course you can keep drinking them one after the other, silly boy.

I had a particularly bad dose of manflu a few weeks back.  Well, it was actually the chinky sniffle thing.  I don't seem to remember about 10 days of my life.  And even now, I struggle with energy levels.

Not sure where I got it, as I was mostly isolating due to suspected shingles, so possible I got it from quacks whilst having that diagnosed so I could have pills.

 Sex will help raise your energy levels provided you don't have a heart attack and die. :)

Visited my dad last week. SIL tested positive as did I. Felt grim again for a few days. Back home now, today is first day I felt well. Read somewhere that 1 in 20 have the chinky bug at any moment. I can believe that. Same here in Spain. Ah the joys of the Chinese.
