    Firstly can I say I am female

    Secondly I have been struck down since the 27th Dec by a virus, I am coughing up entire pieces of lung, can just about speak, have a headache, sore throat, earache, sick stomach and those awful shivers down my back from feeling ill.

    However unlike the men
    wusses
    on here, I will take my trusty Benylin 4 Flu, and arrive punctually into work tomorrow, and do a full days work, after which I shall go home, walk my dogs etc, whereas doubtless my male
    wuss
    colleagues will ring in sick after two weeks holidays complaining of imminent death :confused:

    PAH:confused:

    Deep slow breaths. Try warm orange juice and honney - since you wont my tried and tested remedy! Get loads of goodness into you.
    Mine is nearly gone but my kidneys are aching - anyone else get that?

    Yep coupled with on and off cystitis, I reckon it's the virus just trying out all your organs to find a weak one.

    Cranberry juice helps with the kidney pain.

    I have a slight tickle in the back of my throat: an excuse to lie in bed and get breakfast served to me every day by my long-suffering OH, who's off the whole Christmas for the first time in years. It's only right...:D

    Ah well, she's back to work tomorrow, so I'm guessing I'll have to get my own breakfast. :(

    Gah, I give in. I'm such a doormat. I'm the one swallowing razor blades, but she's the one getting the brekkie in bed every day.

    I'm a pathetic non-man.

    Here, are you saying you have the manflu and are still getting up and making your OH brekkie in bed on her hols?

    I think this deserves a special courage/bravery award, compared to the wusses who started this thread:p

    No, I don't have the manflu. Yes, she's getting her brekkie in bed on her hols. I was just thinking about this the other day: She hasn't brought me my brekkie in bed since our youngest was born (1999). :o

    Pherekydes is a boy, serving his gf/oh breakfast in bed whilst he has manflu/virus! hence my thinking he needs a reward!

    Breakfast in bed should be a shared pleasure, regardless of who brings it, shame you've not had it for so long :(

    Hope you feel better soon :)

    Oh dear, this sickroom is getting a bit overcrowded - de mans are droppin' like flies.

    PML @ Pheredykes treasure!

    Chew chew, I'm not medically qualified or anything, but I'm sure I heard somewhere that breathing is necessary to life soooo, if you are not breathing, chances are you have already passed. Go toward the light m'dear.

    No sign of Galway rush - I think he may be in Galway.



    Should I make more soup?
