    When I get it I call it The Widow Maker.

    I still get no sympathy though.

    I've had a fucking cough since mid December. Was prescribed a course of antibiotics, they did nothing. It's driving my missus mad and I feel sorry for anyone who has to share a train carriage as it's one of those loud, sudden and aggressive ones.

    Man flu= worse disease known to man, blocked nose, head ache, cough sometimes even the throat hurts, it causes involuntary moaning and talking silly talk such as "will you miss me when I'm gone" and "I'm dying, help me", the only cure for this devastating illness is a sofa, a cushion, a duvet and a waitress to answer your every wim, hot drinks on tap and loads of tlc, under absolutely no circumstances is affected person to get up and do anything for themselves with the exception of going to the toilet or transferring from sofa to bed. Oh and using the remote control.

    This disease affects only men, women get something which resembles it called the common cold which has a slightly different treatment plan called "just get on with it" common cold will eventually go away on its own.

    Men everywhere swear that the 2 illnesses are very different and challenge any woman to prove otherwise.

    same here I aint been able to shift this poxy thing since xmas eve, its making driving my scooter a nightmare when I have a sneeze and coughing session, but the last few days my chest feels like I have smoked 40 fags, and seeing as I aint had a smoke since before fat robs wedding its well annoying

    It's driving me mad mate. Have been in the spare room for the last few nights as i can't get to sleep because of it. Can't even do what you'd naturally do when banished to the spare room, can't stop coughing for long enough!

    Feels and sounds like someone is rustling and popping bubble wrap in my chest at night. Going on holiday Thursday so went to doctors today, Was prescribed antibiotics and a ventolin inhaler - like for athsma. Worst I've ever had.

    But women also invent some spurious reason for their regular bouts of sheer bad-temper and rudeness. PMT = Put Men Throughit :-)

    No spare rooms here so the mrs is having to listen to it all night what with me coughing and sneezing and her almost ready to pop with our newest member of the clan so pissing every hour it seems very little kip happening

    Hasn't stopped the list of things I must do apparently before this one comes getting bigger

    Decorated 2 rooms and had to buy new bed and wardrobes because she don't like the old ones anymore


    Man flu is the worst but not as painful as a pregnant woman on the ears moaning

    I did think of using the Bexleyheath line instead as most of the disease ridden passengers wouldn't notice a cough.

    Me too. Had it in and off since November. As soon as I get clear of one cold, another comes back. If I wasn't so fat, I'd be worried I had AIDS.

    It's worth noting that @DaveMehmet still seems to have this ailment - first reported in January 2014

    Take a tiny bit of comfort knowing I'm not the only one... im the type of guy to Google cold sweats and 5 minutes on the internet later I'm asking my dad to help me write my will.
