NBR - The Joy that is Man Flu
16 posts, 11 members
Fiance currently has man flu (I'm sarcastically dancing with joy). And it's definitely a thing because there is no way in hell I am as sad, mopey, and as noisy when I sleep when I have the flu as he is. I actually wanted to smother him last night to end the noises coming out of his face hole. How do you ladies deal with the man flu in your house?
You poor thing!! I have a friend who laughs everytime her man has the man flu. She takes the mickey so much about how he's dieing because that's how he acts, it's really amusing. My partner doesn't really get 'man flu' when he's crook he let's it be known haha but sucks it up and carrys on. I hope your partner recovers soon! Mostly for your sanity haha
When my Hubby gets Man Flu, he snores even louder than usual and I find the usual elbow in the ribs does nothing. A cup of Chicken Soup before bed seems to help, especially the Continental Hot 'n Spicy Chicken Noodle, it seems to help open up congested airways and the hot spices really help clear the sinuses out.
If the heavy mouth-breathing and snoring persists, a pair of ear plugs helps me to get a little shut eye, although they take a bit of getting used to.

If you have a bath, run a fairly hot bath and add 5 drops of lavender oil, 4 drops of tea tree, 2 drops of eucalyptus oil and 1 drop of peppermint oil to the water. Swish the water around well to mix all the oils before getting him to hop in. Get him to lie there for 10 - 15 minutes, inhaling the steam. This mixture helps with chest infections, coughs and congestion and is something I did for years when I had a bath.
If you've only got a shower, you might want to try the shower disks that I mentioned in the Homemade thread.

Haha Trudi... If only it were that simple ;-)
Amy I hope he recovers soon too otherwise he will be getting smothered later tonight. He is currently in the bedroom being heard and not seen so that bodes well for me (I am also a lot less angry so it's win win!)
Ooooh Silvene the spicy chicken sounds good!! He doesn't like spice but oh well, I'll make it to annoy him but ultimately make him better! And those shower discs... if I had proper oils I'd be all over that like white on rice. Also with snoring, my elbows don't work either so I run my hand down his face, maybe sometimes its more of a slap cos I'm half asleep but he's also asleep so he doesn't know. It shuts him up though and he rolls over ;-)

The man flu! Yep it exists I feel your pain. Whilst we are coughing, have temps of 40 degrees, throats that feel like they have been sanded with sand paper, noses dripping more than a tap, we are expected to carry on as per normal no sympathy, suck it up buttercup, yet when the shoe is on the other foot it's "but I'm dying" " no you weren't this bad" "you hardly coughed" argh not looking forward to flu season
Bex & Shaz, I sympathise completely. The last time Hubby had Man Flu, he spent 3 days in bed 'dying' because he felt so awful. He refuses to self-medicate or treat the symptoms by taking any kind of cold or flu rememdy, he says it just masks the symptoms and won't get rid of it any quicker. Personally, I'd rather treat the symptoms and feel a little better, even if I'm still sick. He then passed his germs on to me and I was still expected to cook his dinner, do household chores, go out and buy groceries and continue as if I was perfectly fine.
Man flu = the world comes to an utter standstill and all that matters is how sick he is
Wife flu = life goes on, nothing is different
Shaz, I hope your man starts to feel better soon!

Lol being single would hurt my heart so not an option. Another night of no sleep - 3am found me playing The Simpsons on my phone. Not as much snoring last night but he did make a few weird sounds, like cats fighting. That was odd.
I am lucky with the fact he will self medicate and that means eating packets upon packets of lozenges and I found cough medicine in the fridge, but otherwise he just sits there sniffling and coughing and snorting and grunting. Sounds like I live with an animal lmfao
