It's not really man flu, I am just poorly, I had a sore throat yesterday and the day before. This morning I woke up to an achey body, stiff joints, blocked sinuses and nose. Unable to breathe and general man flu haha.

Sniffling and coughing away like a helpless kitten.

I'm off to Copenhagen on Thursday! Anyone have any home remedies for an awesome pick me up? It's a common cold haha. So before a mod comes in and closes the thread with "see a doctor". I'm asking for home remedies :p
 
Plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

And if a mod comes in and shuts this, they're silly, a Doctor isn't there to seek for common cold -_-

Sadly, no rest for the wicked!

12 hour shifts today, Tuesday and Wednesday. Need to make up as many hours as possible before leaving for Copenhagen, being a contractor is poo sometimes lol.
 
Vit C, Iron and Zinc tablets :)

and yes, also try hayfever tablets. My wife and kid had a cold coming, wife took a hayfever tablet just in case and it disappeared. It seems very strong this year and a lot of people are suffering even if they've not had it before. :(
 
1 tea spoon on bicarb in a glass of water and itll disappear quite quickly. bugs dont like living in an alkaline state.
 
What you want to do is go flat out on a treadmill or exercise bike for as long as you can, drink loads of water and retreat to a cold shower before bed. I think the key is plenty of fluids, a bit of exercise and a refreshing shower.

I've always felt terrible after a hot bath and generally worse if I lay around when ill.

I too have come down with man flu last thursday, but i had a very busy weekend ahead of me so i was pulling out all the stops to try and feel better in a day, i had plenty of fluid, took lemsip and ibuprofen and put honey into the lemsip, took lots of zinc and vitimin C, what i really wanted to fell better for was airsoft on the saturday, and i tell you what running around in 30 degree heat with lots of layers on sweating like a ***** really helped.. If i had spent that day sitting around the house i would have felt a lot worse.
 
Strange...ive got this too!

Felt ill yesterday and today too. Shrugged it off and went to the gym this morning. Weighed in over 10kg lighter than 3 days ago...and im not shooting out super radioactive liquid either. Maybe I am actually ill? :rolleyes:
 
Maybe I will go for a run tonight, won't be my best performance but it might help haha. The heat alone will give me a run for my money!
