Man Flu

[gemmap27]

Urghh….. My OH has a severe case of Man Flu!!!! To be honest it is a bad cold, but he kept me awake all night coughing and sneezing and sniffing! And now I think I am coming down with it! So nice of him to share!!!
I cant even take decongestant like him! I have stocked up on olbas oil and parcetamol! and mansized tissues!!!

poor you, typical bloke!



You can take a nasal spray. I had pregnancy rhinitus with all three pregnancies and I used Sinex the whole time. It was either that or not be able to breath at all. As long as you use sparingly it's fine.


Hope you feel better soon.....

I found that propping myself up on 4 pillows and smothering my nose and chest in vicks vapour rub is quite good...unfortunately with my extra sensitive nasal tubes I can't blow too hard at the moment as it tends to make my nose bleed.

men are such wimps when there ill. lol

i've just got over the flu... i went to the docs and got some antibiotics.. i was told that nasals sprays are not recommended as some have ephredine (or something that sounds like that).. in them which speeds up your heart.. i just lived on paracetamol.. had DH rubbing vicks on me all the time and loads of lockets.....

Otherwise known as 'beer flu' by any chance?

 

[Squiglet]

Nah.. beer don't come into it.. it's very much.. "I-really-don't-want-to-go-to-work-today" flu....where the stress of the thought of it makes him physically sick..

Got a better nights sleep last night - dosed him up on night nurse!
He slept through till about 4 and started coughing - but I was wide awake anyway. But at least I got a few hours of decent sleep!
I feel a bit stuffy and headachy but Im hoping thats as bad as it gets!
