Aye, just burn my stomach as fuel!
Legs and lungs are as good as owt, tbh got enough on with my pesky pooch, like a tasmanian devil flying round the house!Quote:

Rest easy mate, if you were a tart you'd be immune to man flu, when will women realise what we men have to endure:rolleyes::DQuote:

Don't think this is proper or man flu - nasty cough though. And lots of hours at work coming up in the next 7 days, so it might get worse. :thunbdown:
I'm in as well... coughing quantities of phlegm over the screen so you'd better all stand well back! B**ger!
well, after a week of convincing myself it was 'just a cold' and getting worse by the day and not better I have succumbed to even daring to admit I may have man-flu?? :angry:
Managed to drag my sorry self to the doctors this morning and have come home armed with antibiotics and steroids :eek: :thunbdown:
..........off back to bed :boohoo:
Poor Em ;)Quote:

I won't ask about the Steroids just ask for a drug test after you come running passed on the Skyline.
Had a relapse last night, sick twice due to Quattar, Sepp Blatter has a lot to answer for. But I'm not going to let it get to me, I'm going to buy a tree now, Decorate it tonight.
Booo emmi, sounds far more serious than man flu (but don't let the men hear me say that!)
Hope you get well soon.
As Onehill says, it's clearly a LOT worse than man flu :rolleyes: so much so that it's even warranted 1 whole day (give or take copiuos times of getting up to sort the kids) in bed
Skyine?? Have you been filling in my diary on my behalf or is someone running under my name? :rolleyes:

I am still only suffering a mild dose. Arguably the worst option, since I am now sat on the train to work and am the only non-tourist on it. Damn those happy lively jolly (noisy) people.
Girls posting on the MAN Flu thread? What's the world coming to:confused:
Get well soon all:)
I know :rolleyes:Quote:

I started with a sore throat a few days ago and then it moved to my chest with copious amounts of coughing up. No runny nose though so I don't think its flu, man or otherwise? I tried some shock tactics last night with the hottest curry I could make washed down with a bottle of Shiraz. It could be coincidence but today it seems to be on the retreat :D
Don't speak too soon Alf, that is how mine started out... This afternoon though I have so far sneezed 4824 times :sneaky:
I had this too I think.Quote:

Three weeks on since the sore throat started and I still feel tired most of the time and haven't been running. Grrr!
Someone might have to carry me at xotf!
Stef, today I have quite possibly the worst headache I have ever had, and am off work :thunbdown:
Hope you get on ok next weekend :D
Oh, I forgot to mention the headache. I've had only one day free of headache since the day the rash arrived. :angry:Quote:

There's a fair bit of moaning and whinging going on. Maybe, just maybe, you lasses have a touch of MANflu :p
No man could even live through this headache AND still be able to fix the phone socket, cook tea and wash up.
I did actually cry last night though :o But in fairness after feeling rotten all day, missing my train, waiting an hour for a train which then went on to run someone over, sitting there for an hour, crawling into Leicester (on the train, not actually crawling), getting turfed off the train to be told I would have to wait in the cold another hour for the next train... I think it just got to me :o
Sounds like you need a good dose of pain killers, a hot toddy and a big huggy kind of hug :closed:Quote:

After the crying incident, I finally ended up on another train, and then my hubby appeared on it :eek: I thought he was tucked up in the warm at home!
So I got my huggy cuddle Stef (off a chilly man as he had been waiting at my next but last station for 2 and half hours :o ).

I was told to use the office eye wash, but it was 3 years out of date. My eye continued to stream all afternoon until by which time I think whatever it was that was in my eye was gone, but has scratched my eye and looking through my left eye I feel like ive been on the lash all day as everything is very blured, thus I've been feeling travel sick all afternoon....which was nice.
HOW DID I FORGET.
I think im coming down with something, my left nostrel has been pizzing like a race horse all day!
That nostril leak would be the tears from the watering eye you wally!:rolleyes:Quote:
