Mine started Friday, feeling almost euphoric which sets my alarm bells ringing, I know I'll be coming down with a cold soon when I feel like that, saturday there was some discomfort in the chest, which progressively became more coughy , Tuesday turned to body aches, headache and fatigue, Wednesday became a headcold, today it's slowly subsiding.

I'm now in my second year of taking part in the Flu Survey. They send you an email each week to get you to fill in a quick how do you feel this week question, with the idea of trying to follow the spread of Flu.

Bummer
I usually get the lurgy within 48 hours of starting my holiday, so hopefully I've already got this one out the way.

Ta. I just hope I'm not getting it. We are with a bunch of friends so our name will be mud! He had a cold last week so this is a total surprise - he started getting ill on our way out here and then just went into hibernation. Thank god there's a spare room so he can go and do his cave bear thing and I don't have to sleep with him! He did come out on the slopes today but not for long. He so loves it, poor chap.

Not man flue, but an upset stomach like none I've ever come across, a fever that was off the scale, the shakes, last night I was shaking that badly it was almost impossible to type, colic, the explosive farts and the squirts, fortunately the fever broke earlier on, but I still feel crap.

I came down with a nasty cold at the end of June which affected my damaged lungs so badly that it took me 6 months to fully recover from it so I hope I don't catch a man-flu bug (or any other one) this winter!

Yes i have it, i am trying to cure it with some Jim Beam Devils Cut, neat over ice.

The like being for

This deadly lurgy seems to be able to cross the gender barrier

That bit...

My OH had it earlier back in October and it lingered for a week but took him well over 6 weeks to really clear all the symptoms...

This is what I am finding, had the lurgy now for 7 days and it's only just starting to lift, will be a while yet I fear before I'm back to normal.
Ah well, got another 2 days off work yet at least to recover.

Had flu twice in 50yrs..and a few colds..I couldn't get up the stairs in 94, I was proper beat..
being self employed is a good cold remedy..no work no pay..mtfu etc..although a cold at weekends will be milked for all its worth if wifey has plans I'd rather miss..
