I had it over xmas and new year.

I don't believe in taking any remedies if you can help it so just had plenty of beer which relieves the symptoms nicely. I don't know if it's just me but when I get man flu I have an almost permanent hard-on. Must be all the sneezing.

i sure hope i've not got nothing like that i was really ill with man flu over christmas and new years so much so i gave up smoking, and still going strong i may add, and i'm still waking up coughing shit up, some night i cough a big ball of it up whilst my eyes stream with water (nice)

think a trip to the doc's may be in order

For proper man flu when you cant sleep ect - 2 cans of stella and double dose of liquid night nurse

You'll sleep all night and sweat it all out

Works for me

Might be exagerated -that would just put off accepting you had man flu cos it'd be 24hrs b4 you surfaced

A good remedy for the flu-and this is tried and fucking tested too:

Small (whiskey) glass (125ml)
A 35ml shots of good whiskey
Put 3 whole cloves in a thick slice of lemon
Put the lemon in the glass
Put a teaspoon in the glass
Fill with boiling water and stir
add sugar to taste

The teaspoon stops the glass from cracking

No matter how bad the flu that will relax you,put you to sleep,and so start the recovery process

If 2 doses of that and 48hrs rest doesn't work see a G.P. cos you're fucked
