    Unhappy It's nearly xmas and I've caught man flu again

    Last year it was just after xmas and made new year pants, this year it's the week before xmas and I'm praying it goes away soon. Anyone else suffering? My throat feels like someone's sanded it and my phlegm is coming out in nearly as many colours as a bag of m&m's (no blue yet but I wouldn't be that surprised)

    I got that feeling this morning when you wake up where I instantly felt ever so slightly cold, and felt all hot behind my eyes, which usually means by the weekend il be going through shed-loads of tissues, and coughing the house down!

    Get on a vitamin-C and get some sleep. Should speed up the recovery.

    I think (fingers crossed) my seasonal code has just cleared up.

    All you peeps with a cold who are not Christians... Jesus 0wns j00.

    Forget vitamin C and plenty of kip, if you want your colds to go away - REPENT!

    You lot are just wimps... I've got the scratchy throat and gradually losing my voice (for some reason only happens this time of year) but I've been out round london tonight.

    Raving on saturday, then I can be ill. I don't really have time for it, but meh, what can a girl do?!

    I always fall ill before/on christmas. Its like I'm cursed!

    Right now I've been ill for 2 weeks which has now leveled down to a constant blocked nose, with the scheduled super green gook expel from the nose. Fun.



    Bored.

    Man Flu? Pfft, you have a cold...

    I had a cold 2 weeks ago, got over that then got the flu (high fever, hot shivers, aching muscles etc), and now I have a chest and an ear infection...


    If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

    YouTube - "Man Cold" from Man Stroke Woman



    In seriousness though, does man flu really exist? I just thought there was 1. Colds, not serious just a sniffle and perhaps a sore throat and 2. Flu, bad for either sex - high temp, feel incredibly weak + cold symptoms and maybe something else i forgot .

    However... Hope OP gets well soon... whatever he has .

    multibiota, ephedine, a daily dose of alcohol and the odd bit of wacky backy. pretty much invincible

    Thanks... And no idea what I have - phlegm factory disease I think. I go from having a runny nose and strangely over productive salivary (?) glands (so much so that if I try to fall asleep I wake up choking on my own spit). Then I start having hot flushes and then everything dries up and I end up coughing up tons of phlegm (I was actually keeping a 'spitoon' for it all but after it got about an inch deep I started washing it out cuz it was damn disgusting)... The phlegm has settled out to just green now but is sort of spongy... I always thought the stuff you coughed up was what slipped down your throat from your nose but this definitely has a different texture...

    (too much detail?)
