Wtf is a man cold? I just have colds.
If I’m genuinely feeling that bad, then I’m going to load up on some nose spray, put a documentary series on the TV, and try to sleep it off.
I like to gather or otherwise grind professions
Akshully, immune system responses differ between men and women and the reason men seem to handle minor illnesses much worse is because a man’s immune system subscribes to the philosophy of no kill like overkill. This results in the immune system causing harm to everything around it, making fevers higher, aches and pains more prominent, stiff muscles stiffer, and sinuses more clogged.
A woman’s immune system needs to use a much more measured and mellow response because said immune system sees any fetus growing in the womb as a foreign body. If a woman’s body responded to illness the way a man’s did while she was pregnant, it’s more than likely that she would have her pregnancy involuntarily and prematurely terminated.
Yeah, I have a site that I check before leaving the house.
It’s normally at moderate quality, but at night…phew, it’s bad.
But thanks for the suggestion.

I can’t say. Last time I felt like I was at death door I was in the hospital and on life support while being fresh out of a coma. All thanks to a distracted driver running a read light while I was crossing the street in the crosswalk. But I would have rather been playing WOW in my hospital bed rather then watching day time tv during the few times I was awake. Because day time tv and tv in general sucks.
Nice bowl of chicken soup fix you right up. Home made, chicken bone broth base, with lots of celery, onion, parsley, little bit of carrot and some rice mixed in. Black coffee.

A woman giving birth is the closest she will ever feel to the pain and suffering of a man with a cold.

I don’t know, but as a man, this sounds about right.
Colds are like batting slumps. They take two weeks to run their course no matter what you do.
Drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest.
When the man finally admits he needs to stop.

That’s funny.
I’m actually dealing with a sick hubby. Oh my goodness, it’s not fun.
But I love him, so I spoil him. He totally deserves it. He takes awesome care of me and his folks.
That’s what a “man cold” is? 
Yes.
8 medications, an entire kleenex box, and 2 hours of sleep later, the man cold is as bad as it’s made out to be.

I mean, I only ever have woman colds, so I just take some aspirin and nasal decongestant and go on about my day.
No, but seriously, when I’m actually feeling ill, I don’t play WoW. I lay up in the bed listening to audiobooks.
You need a steam vaporizer with something medicinal in the steam, like camphor based products (Vicks comes to mind for people in the US). It helps. A lot.
Nah endometriosis, passing a kidney stone, and cluster headaches are all worse pain than childbirth. 2-10% of women in the US between the ages of 25-40 have endometriosis and regularly have more pain than childbirth.

Man colds are cured by binge watching several seasons of Archer and beef jerky.
I nearly died from severe pneumonia last year. If your man flu is bad, go get it checked out. Better to be safe than sorry. I know someone who was too late, sepsis, coma, gone. All in a few days. Was crazy.
Not to scare anyone. But sometimes a man flu should be investigated.

Pretty sure that might be dependent on the birth. That’s a bold blanket claim.
