That's not the man flu.
The man flu is a hangover.

My sister had the flu over christmas and my brother had an ear infection. So naturally I end up with both. So I'm not only sneezing like crazy and can't hear out my right ear.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 30-12-2008 10:39am

I've got the man flu also, but I prefer coming into work and coughing on all my collegues, hopefully I can make them all sick - the bastards!

vibe666 · 30-12-2008 10:58am

had it several weeks now, seem to catch a new symptom every few days.

on to the heaches and hacking chesty cough now, but still got sniffles.

Darragh29 · 30-12-2008 2:56pm

3 folks in my family have it at the moment, I had it 3 weeks ago as did my OH. It's an awful c*nt of a dose that is knocking around this year, I thought I was doing to die a few weeks ago, never had a flu as bad...

HalloweenJack · 30-12-2008 3:08pm

I've had the flu twice this year, both times I was in bed for about a week. Actually have a respiratory viral infection at the mo.

Dyr · 30-12-2008 3:13pm

happyoutscan · 30-12-2008 3:13pm

Great Christmas, drank like a demon, had great craic and didn't piss anyone off (even had a Del-Boy moment with a bar counter lol)... But today, oh my God I have never had a sore throat like it. It's like someone scraping the back of my throat with razor blades. Argggghhh... Suppose it will be a great excuse not to go out tomorrow night eh?

Vain · 30-12-2008 4:21pm

mud · 30-12-2008 4:36pm

puked for 2 days about 3 weeks ago, haven't felt right since, have awakened with a sore throat the last two days in a row, am I in for the shizzle? Haven't drank since October or so, definitely not booze related - wish I was feeling right!

Yup, got it at the start of December, kinda half recovered from it and got it there again before Christmas, out for the whole of that too. Was the flu but the Doc insists its some kind of infection. I just call it the ''I'm Dying'' flu. Only up and about there now.

Apparently all the Chemists ran out of anti-biotics over the christmas period too. I know what I would of liked in my stocking!!!

Clover · 30-12-2008 8:24pm

I got it at the start of December also , had been fine all year then out of the blue it hit me and at first I was just taking panadol cold & flu for it .

But after about a week of that I had to go to the doctors and get antibiotics to shift it, that took about another week to get over it and now two of my sons have it .

Koloman · 30-12-2008 8:42pm

I read a report in a newspaper just before Christmas that said the Man Flu thing was a myth and it was actually women who complain more and whinge about a cold! Did anyone else see this report?
