I got a cough, I think this will turn into manflu just in time for the weekend. I'll have to watch the rugby at home :( I've not been ill for coming up to a year though so i don't mind too much, I'm sure i'll be able to get through work tomorrow and then be back in on Monday, just my luck not getting to miss any work :p

Anyone else coming down with anything or just got over something?
 
When a woman says she feels a bit run down and out of sorts then it's generally full-blown flu.

When a man says he has manflu it's generally such a minor cold that even a 5 year old child would be embarrassed to call it such.
 
Think i've been suffering with acute epiglottis this past week but figured i'd give it another week before I take it serious.
 
I started to cough heavily last week, decided to goto the doctor today as its only getting worse and it turns out to be a throat infection so have proper anti-biotics instead of useless Benylyn.
 
Lol at you ill folk, might have to buy some cigars to cleanse my throat, normally does the trick, although once when i had bronchitis it made it worse :p
 
I started off with a cough at New Year. I now have a Viral Infection that is effecting my liver function. The village rumour mill is saying there is a virus so bad doing the rounds just now that it has killed at least 3 people. :eek:

\To google with my symptoms.
 
In other news, around 6pm last night I suddenly developed an extreme fever. Severe shivers, tightness across the chest and intermittent feelings of vertigo.

Sent myself to bed at 830pm and stayed there till 9am this morning. Most of those feelings have now subsided although I'm still feeling feverish (mainly phases of films of sweat developing).

I have no other symptoms of this flu-like episode etc.

Cue the sympathy! . . .
 
Take your paracetamol now, don't wait to actualy feel sick.
Drink plenty of fluids and some green tea and honey.
Nothing like a good old grandma receipe :-)
 
Aye, had no appetite what so ever. But forced down some chicken broth, tomato soup and about 2 litres of water thus far. Of course all washed down with copious paracetamol.

Well ahead of you :p

Woke up this morning feeling extremely warm. The heating had been on overnight but even so i thought it was me, had a couple of cold capsules (just paracetamol with caffeine i think). Drinking a cup of lemon and ginger tea now, twinings. Really nice and i recommend it to everyone. Nice refreshing lemonyness to it but with a nice ginger kick that gets the back of the throat. It's also very nice chilled.

Got heavy eyes at the moment. TBH i'm probably just tired and the other symptoms are psychosomatic.
 
One is coming in for me, the slight cough that you can feel at the back of your throat and the nose tightening up. I might take some preventative measures if it continues.
