Man Flu ::)
I'm sick and tired of this stereotype of men who, on getting a little sniffle, are made out to to be on the death beds whimpering and moaning whereas women always soldier on.
In my experience it's the other way around. At my office more women pull 'sickies' than the men.
And another moan ~ everyone in the office knows who who is pulling a fast one with regular 'sickies' often on a Monday and they always never seem to be unwell when they're at work. Why doesn't the management do something about them.
cussing:
-
Very true Uncle. When I was managing a Customer Services team at my old job, I did a tally of the number of sick days taken by men vs woman. The woman took roughly 3 days off to every 1 taken by men.
And it never ceased to amaze me how "women's problems" also seemed to happen on Mondays or Fridays.
Interestingly, the fewest days sick were taken by the hard drinking/smoking brigade!
You'd have to be a right Duane Kerr to moan about a bit of a cold/sniffle and take time off ;)
-
Indeed you do ~ I saw his plea for remedies too. lol:
-
My poor shins... surrender:
-
In my experience Man Flu is less about the time off and more about the martyr attitude of carrying on even though dying. Maximum sympathy required and moaning worse than usual. I'd be so grateful if Mr Wench and my work colleagues actually did take to their beds rather than requiring ridiculous amounts of lemsip and sympathy.
-
I must be an oddity among men ~ when I get a cold I just want to be left alone. I curl up under the duvet and stay there. Anyone who brings a hot drink from time to time will be thanked but it is not actually required and usually gets taken away undrunk. I drink copious quantities of fizzy bottled water and when hungry will happily get up, make toast and go back to bed. What I most crave is peace and quiet and a plentiful supply of cotton hankies (fortunately I have over 100).
Lemsip et al are a no-no for me as they all contain decongestants and people on diuretics cannot take them. Paracetamol is about all I can use to relive symptoms

All in all, just as bad as someone who has got real influenza, and then insists on mixing with everyone in a hot hotel because he didn't want to miss out on the fun weekend we've all just enjoyed, sneezing, coughing, spluttering, red eyed, shivering, aching all over, and then is so ill this morning he couldn't even get up for his breakfast. He was then swiftly taken home by his parents in a fairly bad state, to join his real father at his bedside who's been very poorly for 5 weeks now, and now with a severe chest infection. eeek:
I hinted last night that i was less then impressed with him being amongst us all, stating the fact that if I catch it, I'm guaranteed a really bad time due to my 'for life' illness and the hyper active immune system I've got. Bloody selfish little get. cussing:
Anyone got ANY ideas of what I can possibly take to try and irradicate the flu virus I may well have festering inside me now, or am I just going to have to hope for damned good luck over the next 5 days?

I AM seriously worried tbh. He was defo very poorly, but young enough to fight it off thankfully...for himself.
I'm bloody seething and very pensive, and it's spoiled what was otherwise a very pleasant weekend away.
I've told Mrs GROWLER, and she is also quite worried now too....for me unbelievably. eeek:
-
<Serious Head On>
Do you not have a flu jab every year?
<Serious head off>

<Serious Head On>
Do you not have a flu jab every year?
<Serious head off>
No. Never. It worries me too much that I may get a dodgy reaction to it, and end up bad. It can happen sometimes apparently, but I'm now wondering if it may have been worth the risk tbh.
Too bloody late now anyway, as it takes several weeks to be of any good effect apparently.

Indeed ~ I have had one every year for the past 15 and not had flu once. Mrs gets one too as she is asthmatic. She always gets a sore arm and a couple of days of sniffles afterwards. Littlest boy can't because of his egg allergy and, so they tell me, they "grow" the vaccine on egg.
Never known anyone have a serious reaction though but I can undersatnd your concern.
-
BTW both boys have streaming colds now ~ bet I'll have it by tomorrow, I already have the sore throat, though that may be
looking after shouting at them all day.
-
I can honestly say - if the tales of what "proper" flu is - that I have never had it. I've had bad colds that seem to take an eon to depart, but I have never been bed-ridden as such.
The only time I was, was the Labyrrithinitus which is an absolute hoot.

Take it from me. You'll bloody well know if you've really got it. eeek:
I've had it proper twice in my life, and it is the nearest thing to thinking you're going to die that I've experienced.
It's the bloody time that it takes before you even start to feel as though you're starting to get better too. About 2 weeks of sheer hell iirc
I remember back in '85 living on my own, having to crawl on my hands and knees down the stairs to ring and beg for the quack to come out to see me as I was so bloody terrified.
He just came in through the unlocked door and found me lying down in front of the fire shivering, and said ...."flu, lot of it about. Can't do anything. Drink plenty, rest plenty and ring me if you're no better in a fortnight". ::)
Anyhoo, I'm going to the quaks in the morning, just to see what I can do or take, if anything.
Mrs GROWLER is now fearing I'm talking meself into it. She talks a load shite sometimes too. ::)
I'm rightly worried imo, and should have packed my bags and brought myself right home, not that that would /could have made any difference really. noooo:
-
Mr Wench and I had proper flu a couple of years ago. It was terrible and never again will I say I have flu when I don't. Was a completely different kettle of fish. noooo:

That's what gets my goat. I hear people nearly every day in the winter saying they've 'got the flu'. ::)
My usual response is ..."no you bloody haven't, as you'd be in bed unable to get out of it due to the feeling that every muscle in your entire body is a about to snap, and your head will be feeling like it's going to explode every time you cough
I appreciate that we can all suffer in different degrees, but real influenza is a real and extremely nasty illness that can kill, and does so to thousands every year albeit through secondary infections normally.
I shit myself just thinking about it tbh.
-
Just managed to get through to the quacks after 20 minutes of re-dial. ::)
"Sorry, fully booked up for today for emergencies and for the following fortnight for lesser ailments. Ring back tomorrow at 08:00 if it's an emergency, or if it's not we can book you in for 17th. eeek:
What exactly can be deemed as an 'emergency' I wonder? Bunyon? ::)
Silly me thought 999 was for 'emergencies'.
Stuff it, I'll go to the chemist and buy a barrow load of Vit.D tabs.,and a shed load of garlic from the grocers, keep me fingers crossed, and go to the solicitors to get me will written....just in case like. ;)

If you don't have it yet then mega doses of vit C and zinc, plus two weeks of echnicaea.

My Grandma died of flu. Mind you, that was in 1918

That's the one.
Mrs GROWLER has just said that too, but apparently you only take it when you know you've got the usual symptoms coming on. confused:
-
No dear, although I will accept I may have spelt it wrong.

Here at the office and at school all staff take echinacea as soon as there seems to be a germ spread. So Mr Wench basically spends most of the winter taking it for two weeks, then two weeks off, then two weeks on. The vitamin C and zinc are supposed to be taken at the appearance of any cold/cough symptoms.

Water, plenty of, yes. Bloody boring, but damned good for flushing the bugs away before they get to grips....alledgedly.
They reckon if we all drank 6 pints of pure water EVERY day, many illness's wouldn't hit you....apparently.

Mrs GROWLER says I can't as they boost your immune system, and that can cause problems for the future....apparently, so she sez like, according to the Gospel Of St. Mrs GROWLER like. ::)

To confuse you further they are sort of both right. You can take them regularally as suggested however, you are also recomended to have rest periods. As they can lose their potency over time. Sort of how an alcoholic needs more and more drink to get drunk. Which is why Mr Wench and I tend to take them when those around us are ill or we start to feel ill and then after a couple of weeks stop for a couple of weeks minimum.

Again there are two schools of thoughts on that. One is in the prevention camp and one is in the lessening of the effects of the cold. Mrs Growler's school of thought is in attempting to lessen the symptoms rather than stopping the whole thing altogether. It is also worth noting at this time that prolonged usage of it aswell as voiding the benefits can cause liver damage. But I'm not too sure what they mean by prolonged usage.
I would suggest one tablet a day, one vit C and one zinc. NO MORE! Whilst I do take herbal supplements and yes, consult a homeopath, I don't think enough research has been done into the long term effects of taking massive dosages of these things and so I prefer to err on the side of caution.
If you are confused, pop into your local nutty health food shop. Whilst they do talk a lot of bollocks (and smell a bit dodgy) they do tend to have a rough idea of dosages and if not they normally have a big book behind the counter to consult. IMHO pharmacists don't really have enough knowledge in alternative therapies to be the all knowing king on the subject.

Wenchy speaks! I am sure we can trust her! noooo:
-
Careful with those health food shops Growler...
A couple were 85 years old and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched their pennies. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.
One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.
They reached the pearly gates, and St.. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bathroom. A maid could be seen hanging their favourite clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'
The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven.' The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth..
'What are the greens fees?,' grumbled the old man.
'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.'
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages. 'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to the man. This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'
The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.
'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?,' he asked.
That's the best part,' St. Peter replied. 'You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!'
The old man pushed, 'No gym to work out at?'
'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.
'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or...'
'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'
The old man glared at his wife and said, 'You and your f....ing bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'

Why is nowt straight forward? Banghead
I'll go and see a nutty herbiooligist person as suggested.
I still feel absolutely 100% btw.
-
Growler me old bear with a sore head ~ nothing is ever straight forward. All medications (prescribed or homoeopathic) are a risk to some people. A small amount of aspirin every day is said to help prevent blood clots and thus prevent stokes and heart attacks ~ however aspirin, taken regularly, can cause internal bleeding in the stomach. The question is ~ which is the greater risk?
All the medicines I take (and they are a mixture of prescribed, homoeopathic and occasionally slightly illegal) carry a risk. The secret of it all is to strike a balance between what makes you feel better and what does not. Many of the drugs recommended and prescribed by well meaning and highly experienced doctors for my ailments have had such a bad effect on me that I have ended up in hospital ~ equally a remedy suggested by Wenchy has helped a lot as has a homoeopathic tincture recommended by my cousin who is a homoeopath.
Meanwhile it is said that the Royal Family all take certain honey products on a daily basis (Royal Jelly) and that they all swear by the health benefits of this homoeopathic boost to their immune systems. You seldom hear of a member of that family with a cold or flu and they do seem to be living to a ripe old age. Like them or not (and that is another debate) they are on the whole as healthy and vigorous a bunch of OAPs as you are likely to find. The Queen Mother got past 100 and her daughter looks like going the same way. (Perhaps a few nips of the gin bottle helps).
My one thought throughout has been to try to help myself by listening to all comers and discarding those that either don't seem to work or those that clearly do not suit my system.

I wouldn't worry too much about the liver problems. I only mentioned it as you were talking about necking the stuff! I think the problem comes when people think, well one dose is good so fifty must be fab! Just because it is a herbal rememdy rather than a drug doesn't mean that one should completely disregard the dosage recomendations without having discussed it with someone who has a degree of knowledge in the subject.
Go see a nutty herbiologist, although I may seem as though I know what I am talking about I'm really only an enthusiastic amateur who relys a lot on the web, her own various nutty herbologists and a knowledge of what has worked for me.
I will say that for the past five/six years I have been laid low with every bug going, often putting me in bed for a week. Meaning that my average sick leave over a year was over 20 days and those were actual sick days not sickies. Since taking the vitamins and the echinacea when needed and seeing a homeopath I haven't had a day off sick since March. Plus various other bodily issues have been sorted. No "proper" doctor was able to help but the nutty herbologists have me feeling fitter and healthier both in mind and body than I have for six years. Even sceptical Mr Wench is beginning to think there may be something in it.
-
Of course there is something in it ~ My Afghan suffered badly from arthritis in his latter years and on the suggestion of the vet, who could do nothing for him, I tried homoeopathic medicines (Rhus Tox 4). He was like a dog reborn and lasted, without any joint problems for several more years.
The dog had no idea what he was being given every day. My conclusion then is that it works.
I have mentioned this before (perhaps in another place) and I recall Darwin saying that he had similar experience of this medication.

P'raps Mrs GROWLER does talk a bit of sense then....only I could never admit it to her..... as she says similar to you. rubschin:
Strange in'it? I can take on board what you say and see some reasoning, but when Mrs G speaks I simply dismiss it all as Mrs GROWLERshite. confused:
She's heavily into natural medicine, and in fact practices acupuncture.
I am however her worst nightmare of a 'customer', apparently, so she says. ::)
Disobedient...alledgedly ::).... and needle shy, but that's because I'm convinced that she uses me for 'darts' practice, and gains some sadistic pleasure out of causing much physical suffering,to add to all the mental torture she puts me through like.
All denied of course naturally, but it bloody hurts like hell when she stabs me, so much so I won't let her perform her mystical powers on me anymore. noooo:

Of course she talks sense but because she is your wife you can't listen to her! ;) It's the same with kids and parents and wives and husands. Because there isn't the emotional baggage with a friend or stranger you are far more likely to take their advice than someone who actually does love you. Doesn't make sense but what does.
Although, it does sound as Mrs Growler probably does know what she is talking about. If she is already involved in the alternative medical community she is probably far more knowledgable about these things than I am! Not that that will make you listen to her anymore than you already do! lol:

It probably does have something to do with your health as well. A constant mental battle is rather wearing. Mr Wench will pretty much do anything for a peaceful life. I get my own way 95% of the time however the 5% of the time he does want his own way it is not negotiable and I know that. Also the other 95% of the time he really doesn't give a stuff.

Lemon, honey and ginger. Lemon for the vit C, honey to soothe the throat and ginger for the antibactrial properties it contains.

Manuka honey is best but pricey, stir in to taste once it is in your mug.

Basically correct. Your standard cold lasts for about a week to ten days from first niggle to final snot blowing session.
Man flu lasts about the same, but is subject to much whinging and whining for many months afeter, about just how bad it was. ::)
Influenza, the real thing, lasts for approx 2/3 weeks of pure unadulterated misery, and then about another 2/3 weeks of getting your energy back if you've survived.

That it is claimed has soothing powers
They extract the juice from the leaves and use it for a variety of purposes. In the Kleenex it certainly helps soothe a sore nose caused by too much blowing when you have a cold but then so does vaseline.

Aloe Vera.
Aloe Vera is a plant (Cactus type)
(https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Faloeandyou.co.uk%2Fimages%2Fpage_titles%2Faloe-vera-plant.jpg&hash=534fb8accff55cd6f21f80efd0d51794397ed9e3)
That it is claimed has soothing powers
They extract the juice from the leaves and use it for a variety of purposes. In the Kleenex it certainly helps soothe a sore nose caused by too much blowing when you have a cold but then so does vaseline.

What would I do without the Virtual Ale...watered down... 'ouse ey?

If you cut one those big leaves the gel just oozes out; works a treat for cooling sunburn happy088

Do they also sooth the huge scratch you get on your leg when you walk past them - bastard things? cussing:

Sounds more like that Neurovirus bastard bug than man flu to me. sick2:
If it is, you'll be back in the ale 'ouse swiggin' copious amounts of Youngs within 48 hours, no problem.
Must look out for that particular brand, seeing as you're always raving about it. Not sure it's available up here in the dark and cold north tbh. rubschin:

I don't think it's the Norovirus - I haven't got the sh1ts, the chucking is more down to the hacking cough which is gradually tearing my stomch/chest apart.

My trip to Nick's was the first time I had left the house, without an ambulance, in nearly 18 months. I was eating vailum tabs like smarties. I did not deem it wise to risk more than a half. It was also the first alcohol I had drunk in two years.
In my days as a publican I could have happily matched you or anyone else pint for pint but a following a two year of TT is not the best time to start boozing.

I had 3 pints today and then, at home, threw up in the kitchen sink. No Young's came up, only this acidic yellow liquid. I could feel it taking the enamel off my teeth. For lunch I had griiled lamb, tomatoes, mushrooms, sprin onions and boiled new spuds. So I doubt it is food either!

Ladies, take note
The Facts...
1. Man-Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irrefutable scientific fact*.
*(Based on a survey of over 100,000 men.)
2. Man-Flu is not 'just a cold'. It is a condition so severe that the germs from a single Man-Flu sneeze could wipe out entire tribes of people living in the rainforest. And probably loads of monkeys too.
3. Women do not contract Man-Flu. At worst they suffer from what is medically recognised as a 'Mild Girly Sniffle' – which, if a man caught, he would still be able to run, throw a ball, tear the phone book in half and compete in all other kinds of manly activities.
4. Men do not 'moan' when they have Man-Flu. They emit involuntary groans of agony that are entirely in proportion to the unbearable pain they are in.
5. Full recovery from Man-Flu will take place much quicker if their simple requests for care, sympathy and regular cups of tea are met. Is that really so much to ask? Florence Nightingale would have done it
6. More men die each year from MFN (Man-Flu Neglect) than lots and lots of other things. (Like rabbit attacks or choking on toast).
7. Men suffering from Man-Flu want nothing more than to get out of bed and come to work, but they are too selfless to risk spreading this awful condition amongst their friends and colleagues. In this sense, they are the greatest heroes this country has ever known.
8. In 1982 scientists managed to simulate the agonising symptoms of full blown Man-Flu in a female chimp. She became so ill that her head literally fell off.
9. Man-Flu germs are more powerful than He-Man, The Thundercats and The A-Team combined. They are too strong for weak, nasty tasting 'lady medicines' like Lemsip, so don't bother trying to force them on a victim of Man-Flu.
10. While it may seem like a Man-Flu sufferer is just lying around enjoying 'Diagnosis Murder' it is a commonly recognised medical fact that the exact pitch and frequency of Dick Van Dyke's voice has remarkable soothing powers.
Every minute in this country one man is struck down by Man-Flu. Women, all we ask is that each of you offers them a cup of tea, some kind words and your undivided attention and care. Then maybe, just maybe, we'll beat this monstrous disease together
