Colds, manflu and herbs

Posted by Andy Hamilton - 04/12/08 at 03:12:25 pm

I have been feeling sorry for myself all week as I have been suffering from what is these days termed as Manflu, no longer can I call it a cold. I am debating if “manflu” help matters. It’s almost living up to a sterotype, “right I am ill, I am a man ergo I must be incapable of doing anything and must whine”.

Anyway it will teach me to boast, at the weekend during the “free feast” I announced that I was so healthy at the moment I would not catch my mates cold. Well, how wrong I am.

I think perhaps drinking for two evenings did not help. It might also be that I am not used to being surrounded by over 100 people; as there were at the free feast. Pretty amazing that really, feeding 100 people without spending any money, makes you realise how wealthy we really are in the west.

Well that’s if for the short blog as my head can’t cope with anymore, I also have to go out and forage my next dose if cold relief.

1. Sorry you’re poorly Andy. Hope you feel better soon.

   A similar thing happened to me last year – I was bragging that I’d been really healthy all winter because of living in a cold house (good for the immune system) and eating organic vegetables, and then I got struck down by the lurgy about three days later…
