[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

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.

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

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.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I believe that to be scientifically proven. 
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. 

[ted_one]

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! BTW don't expect any sympathy....they just don't understand man flu..but we feel your pain

[Mister Rog]

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

[Doctor Gollum]

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

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

[TD]

It is Winter! .... A local GP surgery is having an open day in a couple of weeks for the Winter Flu Jab 

For those suffering man flu .... you need to sweat it out of you....so good excuse for a ruby murry, the hotter the better 

Plus you need to keep hydrated, so several beers while consuming the curry will help 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

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

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

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

[Sir Tigger KC]

And you'll be very thin!
