Man flu - I have it

[Falling Down]

Junior FD came back from school on Monday with teacher reporting that the boy was unwell and not himself. We have kept him off schtheool since. It seems to be an agressive virus causing high temperature and some parents have had kids fitting with high temp and blue lighted to hospital. The little one has consistently reported that he has 'felt like st' all week (choice words from a 6 year old!) but appropriate for the circumstances. Anyway, I have now got it!

I have felt all energy drain from my body. I have aches behind my eyes, swing between shivering and sweating, aching thumb joints (I kid ye not), aching thighs. I have been coughing up huooge dockyard oysters which started off white yesterday and are now luminous green today. Trying to sleep has been awful.

I have been knocking back lemsips at a rate of knots, but still feel absolutely terrible. My wife is withholding symapthy on the basis that this is simply man flu.

Anyone else go this? Any remedies you can recommend?
