    Aye, bad news. It has also sprinkled some conjunctivitus fairy dust on my eyes. So Snot, sore throat, cough & myxamitosis! Great fun.

    There is hope for me I think...only a sore throat now and I'm back to the normal gears on my cycle to work.

    Water infection persists; the GP said I'd been given the wrong antibiotics (she seemed to be unconcerned that this was her doing). I'm now on a second course but no sign of any improvement yet. Grrr!
    The old water works are restored to normal but the man flu-type virus only faded to a background irritation and is now back in full force. Sore throat, sneezes, occasional cough, fatigue and blocked nose. Grrr, bother grrr!

    Surely there must be a way to shift this damn bug? It seems to have been with me since November.

    Stef you need a can of diet coke and a very small spoon or a quarter of a spoon of bicarbonate of soda. Diet coke wards off everything

    Don't know if it has already been mentioned, but have you tried echinacea? Seemed to work for me just before Christmas, but I think you are supposed to take it as soon as the bug kicks in.

    Will this not cause havoc with my insides? Does it have to be diet coke or have you suggested diet to assist with the lard loss campaigne?!

    Diet coke tastes yuck but if it might shift this bug I'll give it a go.

    I've used echinacea before - maybe I'll swap from sugarless tea and coffee (yuck) to raspberry and echinacea tea (eaqually yuck but good for lard loss campaign!)

    Nice avatar btw.

    Re: Man Flu

    I'm three weeks into my manflu and have been taking antibiotics which seem to be helping with the pressure build up in my face and has stopped the imminent snot explosion that I was convinced was on its way and the odd squeaking that my cheeks were emitting but I am still coughing up gunk and running is out of the question I did manage to get up Ben Nevis last Sunday (walking) but only by hacking my guts up at every other step. Stef...echinacea really works (I didn't take any...as I was away from home) but I think you need the tincture. It is more effective. It is best to take it as soon as you start to feel under the weather.
