    At first I had a bit of a cough and then a sore throat. Soon after I thought I was going to die. My muscles were sore, and made it difficult for me to tap out my final txt messages to my girlfriend. I read that in 100% of all cases of man flu the man nearly dies.

    I had no comfort. My better half didn't appreciate the severity of my condition. My pillow was too hot!! and the Dr. Didn't understand either.

    So I fought thru it on my own. I did it. I looked death in the face and I'm still here to tell the tale. My girlfriend rolls her eyes. I stand strong, I don't know what the winter holds in store.

    Best of luck to you all ;)

    If it wasn't so true I'd be laughing.

    If I had a fecking euro for everytime his headache/cold/flu/sprained ankle/twisted gut was worse than mine I'd be able to put a stop to the threatening letters I'm getting from BOI. The fact that he could say it with a straight face and really believed it rubbed salt in the wound. Pathetic weakling. :rolleyes:

    I love the way the term 'Man flu' was so obviously first uttered by a few Feminazis that couldn't stand it when the men in their lives actually got sick and dared to complain of flu pains.

    Guess it took the attention off their bitching about PMT cramps for five minutes and they couldn't take it.

    So they all started bleating on and on about how when men get the flu they exaggerate the symptoms and no way could they know about suffering when women give birth and don't so much as complain for a nanosecond, well Katie Holmes didn't anyway.

    Several studies show men less likely to take days off work etc, but heck - let's not let the truth get in the way of feminists trying to portray men as wimps if they dare show any form of weakness now or anything.

    What truly shows that men are indeed the stronger sex, is their ability to take what was designed to be a man-bashing insult and turn it around to our advantage.

    Yeah ladies, you created a monster (Man Flu) and now it will never die.

    Tis ours now and we intend to take full advantage of it .. sure our lives depend on it.

    Oh for goodness sake! You don't have manflu (it doesn't exist) you just have a very minor dose of the sniffles. Pull it together!

    I can't see very many of you surviving the winter if you are falling in September ...

    That stinks of her desperation not to have to put up with your moaning. I bet if she could have got her hands on morphine she'd have pumped it into you. :D

    My nasal congestion was so bad today that I was poking it to the extent that it started to bleed.

    Surely this 'nasal congestion' must be a debilitating syndrome of the manflu condition? Last night, whilst attempting to sleep, I felt like my nose was literally ignoring me, mocking me, watching me cringe and writhe in agony. Women don't understand the pressures and anxieties of malehood, our manflu conditions begin to challenge what we consider to be our fundamental essence.

    Brothers, unite against the feminazi's and their bigoted ways!

    I've just battled through a particularly pitiless strain of terminal man flu. I was incapacitated for 4 days. Night sweats, runny nose, chills, sneezing, general discomfort.... I had all the classic symptoms. To compound my misery the severity of my condition prevented me from enjoying any revelry over the weekend.

    Typically my girlfriend offered no sympathy and scoffed at my affliction, but in a complete reversal of fortunes I have made a full recovery, not before passing it on to her... and her flatmate for good measure.

    Your plight was ignored and unaclnowledged and your significant other and her flatmate are suffering from KARMA.

    Oh dear, one of the Sisters is ill - this is dreadful!

    Try Exputex for your cough, try Sudafed for your head cold, cloth hankies are kinder to your nose than tissues (cut up an old cotton sheet into hanky sized pieces and discard after use)

    Plenty of clear fluids - dehydration is not your friend. Eat one piece of fresh fruit each day cos you need all the anitoxidants you can get. Rest as much as you can and take paracetamol every four hours.

    You have all my sympathy dear Sister.

    What would you know about manflu?

    I don't give you advice on dealing with menstrual cramps, please don't advise us on dealing with manflu. It is a most serious condition.
