Man Flu - Early Symptoms

Man Flu is always fatal.  There may be remissions when the victim seems back to normal, but though it may take 20 / 30 /even 50 years it will be fatal in the end.  Like all illnesses if tackled early, in the Man Chill or even Man Cold stages there may be hope and it will not develop into full blown Man Flu.  So please add early symptoms you have noticed here so we can be the definitive source of information and help Men world wide.

No1 - Thinking when asked 'Do you want another drink?'

No2 - Not noticing the girl in a micro bikini standing behind you

And remember Man Chill can be cured by lots of vitamin C (diluted in vodka), comfort food and TLC!

  

are we been encouraged to drink?

Well Dr Who fixes most things with a screwdriver so it's worth a try on Man Chill ...

Personally I think the government should award a massive grant for research into any connection between alcohol and the onset of man flu.

I think you will have a supporter in McQueen, he has recently had man flu

Mines pneumonia, but i just work through it    Janet has it now and asked how i managed to get out of bed, Mans stuff dear, you wont understand   

Just been round to the Doctors, He said i had Flu but just turned the corner, But he did say becarefull it can sneak back and really knock you for 6,    Steam is good for you, get in the shower or get your head over a bowl of hot water,    Blimey.

No3 - Hearing yourself say 'Is there salad with that?'

No flu jab then Reg ? as they are free for you I thought you must have had one.

Picked up some sort of bug when out in Benedorm November, probably got it on the plane on the way out as started feeling rough when there, flue type symptoms but no cold, had to go to docs mid December as was getting no better plus had also now got a cough, course of antibiotics, finished the antibiotics but knew it had not gone, was feeling 99%, but knew I was not 100%, sure enough symptoms slowly came back, phoned docs yesterday, first appointment next Monday the 27th...

Have noticed alcohol gives temporary relief...
