I have been in bed since Wed pm
My brain bounces off the inside of my skull
I have hot & cold sweats (again since Wed)
I have a cough
I have terrible diarrhoea
I can 't stand up - I collapse
I am so tired

It must be manflu - I thought it was a cold, but no it's manflu

it actually sounds like woman flu if it's at the point you can't stand up.

I can manage about 15 steps then I must sit down (ie to loo - then rest before I come back)

I can't stand for more than about 30 secs
