Vardinhio Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Currently have the worst manflu ever. Whats are people's tactics at battling through?
AoWW Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 That's my take on tea and sympathy. (or if all else fails... ibuprofen; lemsip; glycerin, honey & lemon; plenty of water, lots of rest and marshmallows (yes, really, for a sore throat)
foz.foz Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 lemonade hot enough to drink in one. Whiskey tumbler sized amount
Bryn Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Loads of fluids, regular painkillers. I find hot tea with honey and lemon helpful.
Spudulike Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Soup and CBeebies. Man Flu is serious, it's no joking matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbmbMSrsZVQ
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Stop being so soft, get off your arse and do something.
Vardinhio Posted 23 March 2015 Author Posted 23 March 2015 Stop being so soft, get off your arse and do something. I can't I am dying today! Thank god I don't have work until Friday!
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 I you sure it's not the Monday blues, a very different disease and real.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 24 March 2015 Posted 24 March 2015 Man flu means malingering over a slight cold to gain sympathy. If you have "man flu", then there is no battling. If you have actual flu or flu-like symptoms, get right pissed up and try to sleep it off - should be gone in a few days. In the mean time try not to shit yourself
ramboacdc Posted 24 March 2015 Posted 24 March 2015 brandy does help. i personally cannot stomach it. my dad once drank a whole bottle of southern comfort to get over it. i had the flu (proper flu) for the first time in my life just after new year. thought it was the worst hangover ever for 2 days! it put me on my arse. it really did. if i ever get a cold or "man flu" now it will be nothing compared to that. there seems to be something like it going round again because the mrs has got it. swollen tonsils too and everything else. all i recommend is sleep, as much sleep as you can, fluid and paracetemol, ibuprofen and vit c. theres a story about what i did when i fell sleep with a bowl of boiling hot vaporub and water on my lap. scars!
yorkie1999 Posted 24 March 2015 Posted 24 March 2015 Tot of whiskey in a glass of boiled lemonade. Go bed, wake up the next day with no flu.
bovril Posted 24 March 2015 Posted 24 March 2015 You need to hit it with spirits when you feel it approaching. If you're in the middle of a cold, just drink water, try to flush it out and be a man ffs.
