Title: This may be it for me
Post by: STMO123 on 20 January 2013, 19:56:42
My lad has been ill since Friday. Cough, headache, shivers etc.. I have informed the wife that, in the male of the species, this is very serious and that she should wait on him hand and foot.
After tea tonight I started to feel a bit 'off'. I am, at present, in bed with a hot lemsip beside me. I have told the wife that, if my condition worsens during the night, she must stay home and bring me whatever I desire. If it is, indeed, man-flu, I may die and then she would have to pack up work to look after junior, should he survive.
She actually laughed and called me a wimp!!!!! Have you women no idea just how serious this can be? Anyhow, wish me luck, fellas, and I'll see you if I come out the end.
Gulp :'(

most important thing is to stop the virus invading your lungs STMO..  vix on chest (twice a day-if your kidneys work properly), real orange juice -no market stuff- and some paracetamol (if you dont have allergy) altka seltzer..
 
and if you feel your lungs getting infection, antibiotics time so need to visit a doctor I'm afraid.. valid also for your lad..
 
keep hot..
 
I wish you a quick recovery  :y

I smoked for 40 years, Cem. No virus would dare to venture into my lungs. It would be stone dead within seconds.
Cough....wheeze...

If as you just start to get a sore throat you suck a zinc tablet. It stops the virus from breeding, so you immune system can tackle them before they can temporally overwhelm you defenses. It is too late by the time your throat gets very sore.

This was discovered in the early 1980's and zinc capsules / tablets for this purpose used to be available as a cold remedy, but seems to have gone out of fashion. So I just use a pure zinc tablet, they taste horrible, but they work.  :y :y :y

Women make the mistake of thinking that the deadly manflu virus is as trivial as the much weaker bird flu strain.Bird flu is what we call a bit of a sniffle. :y

Sorry to hear you've been afflicted by the deadly bug Steve :(
Don't forget, if your breathing becomes really laboured and you're gasping for breath, it helps if you kneel down,bend forward & put your head between your knees. It's much easier to kiss your arse goodbye this way! ;D ;) :y

Jeez, I feel rough. Got up this morningat 6 to de-snow the wifes car and off she went to Sheffield. Took her twice as long as usual but, God love her, she got there and school is open. Unlike most of them round here.   >:(
I took the dog out for her to do weewee but the snow was too deep so I had to walk down the middle of the road where the cars had left tracks. She wanted to stay out and play but I wasn't up to it. Poor Ben is still really rough, three days now, and I'm having to force him to eat before he disappears up his own arsehole. Roll on Weds/Thurs   :(

Back in bed now. All duties done. Dog been out twice, Ben fed and watered and a big pan of veg soup festering on the hob. The sheets Ben was sick on in the night all clean and ready for duty.
Just let her dare come home and tell me what a horrendous journey she's had. She will be wearing the soup.

Ohhhh dear you poor poor babies (men) what a terrible awful things you are having to endure in the name of manlines.... I mean... wow MANFLU.... is there anything more scarey, and debilitating?????

I suggest you all get together, ( in the garden shed) and wrap up warm, and drink loads of whisky, and mumble and grumble about us nasty women. and how badly we treat you

Meanwhile....back in the real world, us women with the flu etc, will just carry on as usual, cooking, cleaning, wiping kids snotty noses, running the household,sorting and paying the bills, doing the shopping etc, without thinking about complaining, because after all where does that get us????? nowhere, but then again we are the weaker sex ROFLMAO
