Ive had the Manflu and was really ill.

I should really have been in hospital with superpowerful Manflu combating drugs - oxygen tent and drips and tubes and bleeping machines.

All I got was Lemsip and vaporub.

Look at this - a Councellor says that men only vocalise their feelings when ill - but women moan all the time.

a seperate study by Lemsip shows that half of women are sympathetic to their OH when he is ill.

Twice as many men then women take days of to look after an ill OH

Women just aint caring

As it should be. Women dont care as much or moan as much as men when they have the flu. They just get in with it. Its the men who win the awards for amateur dramatics.

i work down the local pub, and the amount of people coming in with SERIOUS colds/obvious flu over the Christmas was an absolute joke, not fair on anybody to go out like that.

And while men are only out a day or to from work - women take 8 to 10 days off.

Because they are women the get away with it and use up lots and lots of sick days -more then men.

Suffering from serious dose of the flu myself at the moment. Off work all week and can't believe I'm too wrecked to even leave the house. Think it's the first new years eve in years that I have stayed in.

Man Flu isn't a joking matter. In work the other day we received important guidance on Man Flu - though I think is was aimed at those women in our office which, if the evidence presented in this thread so far is true, are lying, lazy and unsympathetic.

10 Facts about Man-Flu

Fact 1. Man-Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irrefutable scientific fact*.
*(Based on a survey of over 100,000 men.)

Fact 2. Man-Flu is not 'just a cold'. It is a condition so severe that the germs from a single Man-Flu sneeze could wipe out entire tribes of people living in the rainforest. And probably loads of monkeys too.

Fact 3. Women do not contract Man-Flu. At worst they suffer from what is medically recognised as a 'Mild Girly Sniffle' - which, if a man caught, he would still be able to run, throw a ball, tear the phone book in half and compete in all other kinds of manly activities.

Fact 4. Men do not 'moan' when they have Man-Flu. They emit involuntary groans of agony that are entirely in proportion to the unbearable pain they are in.

Fact 5. Full recovery from Man-Flu will take place much quicker if their simple requests for care, sympathy and regular cups of tea are met. Is that really so much to ask? Florence Nightingale would have done it

Fact 6. More men die each year from MFN (Man-Flu Neglect) than lots and lots of other things. (Like rabbit attacks or choking on toast).

Fact 7. Men suffering from Man-Flu want nothing more than to get out of bed and come to work, but they are too selfless to risk spreading this awful
condition amongst their friends and colleagues. In this sense, they are the greatest heroes this country has ever known.

Fact 8. In 1982 scientists managed to simulate the agonising symptoms of full blown Man-Flu in a female chimp. She became so ill that her head literally fell off.

Fact 9. Man-Flu germs are more powerful than He-Man, The Thundercats and The A-Team combined. They are too strong for weak, nasty tasting 'lady
medicines' like Lemsip, so don't bother trying to force them on a victim of Man-Flu.

Fact 10. While it may seem like a Man-Flu sufferer is just lying around enjoying 'Diagnosis Murder' it is a commonly recognised medical fact that the exact pitch and frequency of Dick Van Dyke's voice has remarkable soothing powers.

Apologies if posted elsewhere already - it just seemed apt to this thread

I caught the Flu around the middle of November and it took me 10 days to get out of and caught a relapse around the end of November and blew a nasal poyp out in the process.

It is the worst flu in ten years and a person I know even got Pneumonia with it. Young people are the worst effected apparently and January will be rife with it also.

I was at home over Christmas and my mother, father and sister were all down the flu and chest infections, dreading a 3rd bout I survived as I now have resistance to it as I treated myself during my previous two bouts with nothing only Paracetemol, large doses of Vitamin C and occasional hot whiskeys. Poteen Punch my father says was a great cure in days of 'ol but acquire the illicit Moonshine is a tough job nowadays.
