Well; finally succumbed to the man-flu


any advice on tried and tested flu remedies? I get flu about once or twice a decade- so have no real idea other than painkillers and fluids..

feel bloody AWFUL

 

I had it a month ago - in bed for 5 days! I normally take aspirin, but they did nothing for the awful shivers I had. Paracetomol really worked, make sure you keep it up every 4 hours. Can't remember the brand, but I think it might have been Lemsip Max strength. Good luck!

 

Paracetomol, liquids, Night Nurse, bed.
Was over it in a day.

 

I was told plenty of liquids and keep up the diet

 

Para's, 1/2 bottle of Whisky, central heating up full, sweat buckets. Wake up with a banging head, more para's, force (and you really have to force) yourself on a minimum 5 mile walk, more para's and whisky.

Next day, right as rain

 

I havent been able to wangle an entire day in bed ( i wish) wife and 7yr old - no chance...

Still got the shivers after 4 days
doh.

Early night tonight I think- really want to play GT4 - but cant keep awake.. lol

 

HAHA. Always got to laugh at people that say this.

If you have got 'flu (ie, influenza), you will be dead to the world for a few weeks, and unable to move, eat, drink, get out of bed!!! You'll feel like death warmed up, and, of course, it IS a life-threatning condition for the young, ill, or elderly.

Sadly, too many people seem to think they have the 'flu, when in reality, they have the common cold, and/or a similar virus....which you can get over the worst effects of in a day or two.

 

Take the juice of one lemon, two table spoons of honey, three fingers of whisky and mix together in a mug or robust tumbler. Top up with boiling water. Drink. Repeat until you fall asleep or get better.

hth.

Can you be bothered to get it?

You got flu if you couldnt care less

You got a cold if you can get it

Paracetamol two 500mg tabs every 6 hrs, half a litre of water every six hours till it goes.

Good luck

Last night I had some WIERD lucid dreams non stop too.. nowt like sleeping when you have a fever
Dreamt I crashed the scoob at high speed on the way down to Le Mans was a horrendous dream too.. far too lucid for my liking.

The Mrs said I was thrashing about like a loon in bed and roasting hot- she went downstairs to kip on the sofa..
I woke up @ 10am this morning ( a HUGE lay in for me) and feel worse today than I have all weekk.. b0llocks.

only slight hitch in getting better is that I defo have sinus infection now
Wasnt 100% sure until this morning...
Look like I've been in the ring with a heavyweight! doh..

and of course being the easter weekend- no friggin doc's until tuesday to get some antibiotics for it

bring on the whisky and honey.
