Been fighting it off for 3 days but, think today it is starting to win! Sleep is pointless as wake up coughing every few minutes if i do manage to drift off and now starting to ache like hell.

This is obviously Man Flu, not the normal Flu women get.

Mate I've been ill since 22nd dec and spent my bday yesterday in bed fr the most part lol. Shivering and sweating coughing n sneezing and all the bullshit...neck, face, back in pain.. Fecking loads bollocks lol. Fluids and rest my friend, gt well soon!

[Sparky68]

Pisser about your birthday mate. Just keep popping the pills and hoping it dont get any worse, seems tonight that isnt going to happen though.

[fulcrum]

I feel for you. Coughing and spluttering also.

And I woke up Christmas day with a sprained ankle WTF!

I have either been playing Rugby in my sleep or got gout.

Older and either more decrepit

[Sparky68]

Gout sucks, hope you aint got that. I get it from time to time, take alupurinol i think its called, works wonders.

Ahh,man flu,you need either admitting to the local hospital,or 24/7 intensive care by the other half.

I've never understood why woman can't understand the difference between the two different types of ailments,there are those that impact on Men,and those that impact on women,the difference is vast

[chedixon]

I've had it since the 20th December, thankfully the fevers gone and zero energy is starting to improve, still bunged up to the max though, right royal pain in the arse Christmas and new year!

Fought mine off in 4 days, don't know how though!

I do feel your pain. Chemist said to me it's basically paracetamol and plenty of fluid.

Hope you feel better soon.

[dopper99]

I've had it since the weekend. Was supposed to go to work yesterday but called in sick.

[AWBimmer]

Took me 9 days to fully fight off.. but I did dabble in outdoor activity towards the end!
Hope all you ill people get well soon!!

Agreed: alcohol is essential, whisky, brandy, armagnac or whatever

[dopper99]

Started coughing up blood earlier so went to the docs. Seems not much to worry about and told me to steam some water and stick my head over it with a towel.
