The wealth of the STW massive surely hides a few good ones. I'm on death's door people, so please bring 'em on.
I would recommend a nice warm cup of MTFU?
...or failing that i find copious amounts of sweet tea and biscuits seem to help.
i tried exercising through it last week - just prolonged the misery.
early nights, no booze, no swimming or gym or cycling and it cleared up in a week.
1000% RDA vitamin C and 100% RDA Zinc
works for me
http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/growyourowndrugs/episode1.shtml The Goji berry and chicken soup apparently.
1000mg of Vit C everyday. No colds - ever!
(Lots of Green/Yellow pee though)
Interesting article by one of the guys from Torq in Issue 46 (I think) about battling colds.
Very much in the vain of mrmichaelwright. Take well over the RDA for Vit C, take other multivitamins, lots of garlic, echineasia (?), cod liver oil, etc, etc Can't remember the specifics and its not at hand but OD on all the good stuff to flush it out your system.
Rode last sunday with the start of a cold. Felt great while i was out. Got worse once I'd finished. Rode again this morning with a smear of vicks under the nose and I think I've now seen the last of it.
Good luck.

Sounds like you may possibly have...
...Manflu.
For which there is no known cure.
Fortunately, although experiencing near-death symptoms, most Manflu victims make a full recovery. Strange, that.
4 cloves of crushed garlic mixed in olive oil and drunk quickly... if you can stomach it it work a treat! You do pong for a couple of days mind!!
