[Closed] ill

It's a cold just get on with life.

You've got a lot of sympathy from me as I've been suffering with 'man flu' for the last 4 days.

I did nothing but veg out yesterday, trying to take it easy and I felt really rough 🙁

I went out today and did (an easy) 3 hours on the road bike and feel loads better 🙂

Ofcourse the Beechams capsules are probably helping as well 😉

Have you not got some-one to mop your fevered brow, and make cups of lemsip for you?

There there

[i]Feel free to offer sympathetic responses [/i]

On STW? Sympathy? Sorry, you've come to the worng part of the internet, this is the place for trolling, willy-waving and "TTFU" responses... 😉

Get well soon. 🙂

It's just the sniffles. Only men get colds and then it's usually the flu 8)

Thanks drac, someone had to step in with a MTFU comment. 😛

Ample I have no intention of going anywhere now, I am just too ill, only strictly come dancing will prevent me from taking to my bed. Lemsips are my new BFF 🙂

I've been piddling water from my anus for the past week.

MTFU.

aww, cross posts, there are some nice STW'ers out there after all. See, you can all be nice when you want to be. I do have someone to mop my brow but he got bored after 5 minutes and is now engrossed in lara croft on the xbox 🙁

Colds eh. I've had four since the start of the 'cross season so I've only done one round out of six so far. I've never found anything, apart from easy rides at the end of a cold, helps to clear it.

Pah!, I cough on your snivelling cold. I'm just recovering from a bought of swine flu, SARs or possibly lung cancer. Not sure which exactly as I haven't bothered the GP, but goggle's told me those are the most likely. It did also mention colds, but I'm too tough to get those so it must be something else.

I used to find the nhs direct website fun for self diagnosis, I'm sure my cold could be diagnosed as something more serious if I did a bit of googling 😀

More man flu here so Googled Hot Toddy and made my first ever one - it was lovely might have another.

Bit of Talisker in there helped.

That peaky temperature and shivers is your body's immune system working hard to fight it off. That tired feeling is the same. Be sure to take paracetamol - (no more than 4g/day) and take comfort that the worst symptoms really only last a day or so.

Lemsip has 500mg of paracetamol, so I normally add an extra 500mg tablet for the full pharmacological effect.

Eughhhh I still feel crap and am now off work. Think I have an ear infection now as it's really burning. How do I get rid of that?

breakfast whisky - insert directly into the ear using a turkey baster.

Where am I going to get a turkey baster from? Aren't they what lesbian couples use to get pregnant?

Think I have norovirus. I feel really flipping rough!

i was going to say "make sure its been cleaned if you've got the baster from a woman with a man's haircut" but thought that to be bad taste and possibly offensive.

its the kinda thing that a robert dyers type store would have, situated next to a JML foot scraper and a bumper pack of wall hooks.

You've got a squits SM?

I'm not sure I need basting thank, I might just get some ear drops :-s
