I'm ill

This morning I woke and immediately knew that there was something wrong. There was a tightness in my chest and pain racked my whole body. It was clear that all was not well. I asked my wife to call an ambulance and then waited for the paramedics to arrive.

I was right to summon help as the paramedics agreed with my diagnosis… I do indeed have man flu. Yes, I know what you’re going to say… what a cruel irony after all I’ve been through this past year for me finally to be struck down by one of the most virulent and debilitating illnesses known to man.

Of course, there are a few people who dismiss man flu as some sort of psychosomatic disorder. Well, they used to say the same about ME. What I’d like to know is what is the World Health Organisation doing to eradicate this vicious ailment? It’s all very well fighting AIDS, TB and malaria but there are people suffering every day with man flu. If women got man flu there would be huge pressure to increase research and spending in order to combat the disease. I mean, women complain about childbirth and period pains but these things are nothing compared to what we men go through when we get a cold. If you don’t believe me then watch this… UPDATE: Proof at last
