FFS man up!
Take some of them tablets out of. Tesco. Sinus relief I think they’ve called. Amazing
I find a generous dose of morgans spiced rum helps to sweat it out 
oh and if one doesn’t work try a second or third
Well it’s Sunday AM & although I’m up & out of bed I’m not up to much.
Food & drink taste horrible, my tongue has developed a white carpet. Running a temp & EVERY bone & muscle in my body ache, even my eyeballs.
I’m holding off taking night nurse cos’ the last time it knocked me like a zombie for 3 days.
They say that manflu is like being 3x-4x over the limit in how it affects your co-ordination, judgement & decision making ability.
So, I’m grounded. 
You wait 'til the infection goes into your ears, bursting your eardrum and rendering you Mutt and Jeff as happened to me recently. The only good bit is, when 'er indoors says something like “are you going to do the washing up?”, you can look at your watch and reply “quarter past two!”

I had that a few years ago. Totally deaf with no other symptoms, first in one ear then both within 2days.
Scared the life out of me.
Turned out that it was some kind of throat infection & I remember the Doc’ showing me some white spots on the back of my throat through a mirror.
I can handle not hearing the missus say “SINK, DISHES, NOW”, but I couldn’t handle not hearing that likkle giggle she gives when I’m in the right spot.

She laughs like a drain when I do it…commiserations on the MAN flu, nobody deserves that!

Thursday I woke with a sore throat, but I’m a MAN so I just gargled some acid & went off to work like a MAN does. In the afternoon I had a runny nose & sneezed 3x in a row, but I’m a MAN, so I just wiped it away with a sheet of 80grade sandpaper.All day Friday I was off my food & suffering the mother of all headaches, my nose was red raw & my eyeballs started leaking.
But . . . I’m a MAN, so despite waking up this morning feeling like I’ve had a Friday night out on the ■■■■ with a tribe of gorilla’s, I still felt MAN enough to shrug it off & walk the dog for 5 miles before tackling the multitude of weekend jobs that SWMBO collects for me during the week.
This afternoon I felt my very life blood draining away with every heart beat. I’m going downhill fast.
I’m dying.
I’ve stocked up on Minestrone’ soup, Night Nurse & Deep Heat in every form that they sell it.
I may be gone for sometime !
