Im starting to get one ( again )
Any ideas on how i can nip it in the bud before i become totally full of snot? Im at the sneezing, slightly runny nose stage  :(

Really hot curry.

Chloraseptic Spray always works for me,It supposed to be for sore throats but i use it when i get cold to,and it seems to work for me,It kills the bacteria in your throat.

Hot Toddy!

Hot milk with some scotch!

If you've got the symptoms then you are already infected. Sorry.

I got a cold 7 weeks ago and I still have it now.It seems to have fucked my lungs up as well and given me asthma.Im on the same steroids as my dog. 8)

yes that man.

put in a mug:

juice of at least half a lemon
a shot of whiskey
decent dollop of honey
fresh grated ginger - as much as you can handle
top up with hot water

that'll blow the cobwebs away. tastes lovely too.

Sounds like pleuresi Yeovil!

 :-X

wrap up warm, exercise and sweat it out.

Oh dear. Can i get rid of it quicker by following some of these top tips? And would it help if i stopped taking immune suppressants aswell for a couple of days?

Im gonna get some scotch n ginger tomo cheers people! Im being a proper girl cos its our xmas party saturday night, i brought a lovely dress weeks ago and have been dieting for forever to make sure i fit in it and now i get a flipping cold so may aswell go out in a bloody bin bag if at all!

Hope you feel better soon Yeovil, 7 weeks sucks i feel bad complaining

Ive just looked that up and it does seem a bit like that.

Not having a GP has probably hindered a proper diagnosis the walk in centres are a bit naff.Finally signed up to a GP yesterday and still cant make an appointment till next week.Working nights doesn't help with recovering either.

I was healthy till i gave up the fags.

Echinchea capsules. You get them from Boots and similar places. Absolute wonder drug, better than any other cold remedy. Get it down you early tho as once it develops, your fucked!!!

I got a cold the back end of last week. Pissed me off a bit because I thought I was going to be a sniffly mess in my exam today.

Sudafed works best for me. It's a decongestant. I took it this weekend and I was fine today.

I was laid up with this at the weekend. echinacea, rest and loads of water. If that fails, get fucked on guinness.

So if I hypothetically and in reality get continually pissed on Guiness ( wine, beer, cider, anything ) then why do I get cold in the first placec when I'm doing everything I can to prevent it?

Step away from the lampost Yeovil (if you can without toppling over)

I've been purposefully trying to flu up over the past few days with no such luck. I just want a few days off work. My immune system used to be so weak when I was in my teens I was always the first one to come down with man flu, but these days I can't catch anything! I haven't had a day off (genuinely) sick for over two years!

Sorry but Echincea is nothing more than a placebo, its all in your head mate. There is no wonder cure for colds and flu, you just have to sit it out, drink plenty of fluids, eat sensibly and no wanking for 10 days. Next patient please!

enchinacea might cut your chances of getting the cold in the first place, but will do nothing if you already have the infection.it boosts the immune system apparantly.

I swear by Berocca when Im starting to feel a bit ming - in fact Im having a drink of it now!

Grow up. You can't get Man flu.

Yup I have it on my desk as we speak also!

Less of the man flu. My Mrs says all I have is a snuffle and a tickly cough. She's going to look pretty stupid when she realises it's  Zaire variant Ebola. I'll probably be dead by the time Fitton appoints the new man. But I still came work today.

So in answer to your question - take some Lemsip and let the cold run it's course. Better getting it out the way now than have it at Christmas.

Just tell her that most of PMS is psychological and it isn't that bad.
