I can't blame you for not understanding, you're just a gurl after all. If we regaled you with the full horror of Man Flu you'd never let us menfolk out of the house again. Even the government and press are intervening to spare you ladies the awful truth of this killer. Heard of T.E. Lawrence? Lawrence of Arabia? The official line is he died at the helm of his manly motorbicycle, manfully swerving to avoid a child. The truth is he whimpered himself to death while leaning over a bowl of Friars Balsam. Steve Irwin? Killed by a manta ray? Rubbish - he drowned by sleeping on his back with a runny nose. It's a killer I tell you, I'm lucky to have survived this long. [cough].
the only men that get man flu are those that get sick pay... the rest of us get on with it or get hospitalized...
Yes, that's true. I get sick pay. But did you know the only effective medicine for reducing the effects of man flu is beer? So while you were grafting I was down the pub taking my medicine...
Had to return to the Burns unit with the Wife, now discharged to her own care. Traffic in Chelsea was as bad as you can imagine...then She took me back shopping.....that's twice in one lifetime! I've missed out on yet another good biking day, now she's got the hump'cause I said Thursday is looking good weatherwise, while looking wistfully at the PP in the coach house.
the best med ive found is a 50/50 mix of water/brandy a large amount of ginger, 3 lemons, fuck loads of honey and a hand full of co codamol or tramadol or even paracetamol if the good stuff has run out... if still breathing in the morn (and you can afford it) a day off and a trip to A&E... or as you suggest beer...
TRAMADOL is a very bad drug to take with Alcohol with symptoms as trivial as drowsiness to as severe as depression of brain activity, coma, pinpoint pupils, and ultimately death. Moderate alcohol consumption with tramadol may produce the following symptoms: High risk of depression, mood disorders, agitation Nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal upset Significant changes in nervous functioning like lack of coordination, permanent changes in behavior and memory Sedation, vertigo and recurrent episodes of troubling headache Elevated risk of enhanced liver damage, higher than either of the agents alone Acute alcohol syndrome (marked by toxic reaction to moderate alcohol consumption that may prove life-threatening) Moderate increase in intracranial pressure Acute abdomen marked by severe pain and discomfort Renal dysfunction (that may deteriorate to renal failure) Decrease in the seizure threshold, especially in susceptible individuals Please enjoy alcohol without any other depressants!
