| 85 | Name : Ruthie Added : July 2010 Comments : I heard of your site today from a colleague, a brave survivor or Man Flu. What a relief to have the veil lifted from my eyes on the illness which so recently struck down my hubby in his prime. How regretful I now feel about continuing the business of working, kid-wrangling, cooking, cleaning, groceries and being the school taxi with so little empathy for his brave struggle.Reform, girls! |
| 84 | Name : Jane Added : July 2010 Comments : When will they come up with a vaccine? If not we could loose all our men in a black plague re-run! |
| 83 | Name : man flu widow Added : July 2010 Comments : For the last week, my husband has been warning me of an oncoming illness and sadly, today the man flu entered the building with such force that our 3 young children were rendered speechless at their father's insistence at collapsing on the couch in a heap while they were watching Disney channel. Two hours later and he's still asleep on the couch, with a box of comfort tissues by his side and Foxtel on the TV. Yet, when I go to turn the TV off, he's miraculously cured, if only for a split second. No doubt, such is the nature of this epidemic. Can anyone tell me if the standard life insurance policy covers man flu because he really looks like he's on his last legs and I need to up the payout value accordingly. If the flu doesn't kill him, I just might. |
| 82 | Name : Chris Added : July 2010 Comments : I appreciate the word you are spreading about man flu. The symptoms are as described, and I thought that women could catch man flu, but the symptoms were barely noticable. Thanks for the education. |
| 81 | Name : jason Added : July 2010 Comments : I wanted to leave a message on here congratulating you on such a fantastic site, but i found i was just too damn weak and ill to do so :( |
| 80 | Name : Sheree Added : July 2010 Comments : apparently my husband is light sensitive when he has man flu, therefore it is not ok to open the blinds in the morning. |
| 80 | Name : Morgan Added : July 2010 Comments : I have had the man flu for almost 5 days now. I went to sleep on Thursday night and didnt get out of bed til Sunday Arvo. People at work pick on me but do not understand the severity of my illness. I am a dying man and all they care about is more invoicing. Im glad that there are other men out there who understand what im going through! |
| 79 | Name : Michael Added : July 2010 Comments : Awesome site - finally the acknowledgement us men so sorely deserve!! these woman dont understand the pains of man flu!! my girlfriend has now been schooled in the art of the foot massage.....i think i feel stage 1 man flu coming on....stay well gentlemen! |
| 78 | Name : Emma Added : July 2010 Comments : This is not just an affliction that affects full-grownmen, I currently have a 10 year old son that is experiencing 'Pre-pubescent juvenile man-flu' I am giving him an old family remedy for his ailment - regular spoonfuls of 'Harden-Up-Princess' It seems to be working! :) |
| 77 | Name : Sal Added : July 2010 Comments : My (as I now know) misunderstood bloke sent me a link to this site. I was shocked! For all these years I have been telling him to HTFU - or words to that effect and NOW I realise how cruel and uncaring I have been. I can recognise myself as being one of those sarcastic, cold unfeeling women, but no more! From now on I will be following the wonderful informative advice you have given us women on your site. Thank you Man Flu, you have opened my eyes to the hardships that you poor men have had to endure. |
| 76 | Name : Steph Added : June 2010 Comments : There is a common variant of the Man Flu which affect the gastro enteric system. It is contagious from women but transforms in men to a life threatening illness. It happens monthly when a women mentions she has a "tummy ache". Despite the absence of a uterus, any men in close proximity can catch the "ache" and subsequently suffer for days. You have been warned. |

| 74 | Name : Adam Added : June 2010 Comments : My friend Richard came to visit me today, he has the man flu. He is incredibly sick. He told my wife, and as expected, she openly mocked him and said it was not real. This of course as we know, caused a rapid deterioration in his condition. I found your site, but, having been a sufferer of man flu in the past, knew Richard needed time to r ecooperate if the gods deem him willing to survive. We are going to see if the Big Arnie marathon of DVD's help to alleviate his critical symptoms. |

| 70 | Name : Nurse Jacinta Added : June 2010 Comments : In March of this year I wrote seeking advice on how to deal with the three cases of man flu in my house. Sadly today - Mothers day - it has struck again. I have spent all day assisting my dear husband to the toilet and to the couch and then back to bed again. I do feel as though I understand more now. It is definately in giving that receive girls. Don't let your man suffer in agony. Try hard to make their lives as happy as you wish yours was. |
| 69 | Name : Pete Added : June 2010 Comments : It's with out question that a fully fit male will take a canning from the MF. We are not a depressed species and the effects of MF effect our happy go lucky attitude. A few shots of Rum at your local or at home offsets the pain. |
| 68 | Name : Ged Added : May 2010 Comments : At last - the proof! I knew I was ill! Wives just don't understand how close to death men can get before summoning the strength that only men have to beat this plague known as Man Flu. Good job women are immune and that they are able to nurse us back to health to make sure the species does not die. I showing this proof to my wife straight away! |
| 67 | Name : Karim Added : May 2010 Comments : It does not mention on your site that fever is NOT NECESSARILY a symptom of Man flu. All females around me claim that if there is no fever, then it is not serious. I have been suffering from type III relapsing-remitting MF since I was a day old without a temperature. people need to be educated so that they can approve more government funded research into MF and hopefully, a vaccine will be discovered one day. Keep up the good work. |
| 66 | Name : Kerry Added : May 2010 Comments : Great site and such relief that women can now read and fully understand the pain we men go through with Man Flu. I must say the best advise I can give to other sufferers is that although you may be unable to work, after a few days recuperating on the couch, a couple of days of fly fishing will get you back on your feet. Be cautious though and keep your fluids up. A hipflask work best for medicinal purposes only. |
| 65 | Name : Neil Added : May 2010 Comments : I am dying of Man-Flu. Thank you for informing me of my last desperate hours on the planet. My wife has left me for at least and hour.....I will die a crumpled wreck on the sofa. |
| 64 | Name : Steve Added : May 2010 Comments : At last some scientific data to support what many of us have known all along! Man-flu is not only a threat to mankind but to the whole human race, after all, how will the wheels of industry turn without our mighty shoulders against them. Be strong, and suffer in silence no more. |
| 63 | Name : Andrew Added : April 2010 Comments : I am 30 and i have flu at the moment along with my 22 month old son. I would love to spend more time with my wife and 4 yr old daughter. I am only in stage 1 along with my son and feel that the end for us could be sooner than i think. And it hurts me to write this with a tear in my eye thinking we might not see the year out. must go now as throat is terribly sore and my aches are getting more frequent. Be well my fellow men and be strong. |
| 62 | Name : Starsky Added : March 2010 Comments : Thank god for this informative site... This information should be in the school curriculum. |
| 61 | Name : Mr Atkins Added : March 2010 Comments : I'm a teacher and suffering with stage two of man flu. Due to my commitment to the job I'm soldiering on. What does get me down is the lack of empathy yes empathy, I'm not looking for sympathy I just want understanding. The boys totally understand, the girls just mock me. I'm hoping that through education such as this website that more female members of the population get to understand what we have to go through. A big up for Man Flu.info. Your doing a great job lads! |
| 60 | Name : Nurse Jacinta Added : March 2010 Comments : I am currently dealing with three cases of man flu in my household. The eldest being 50 and the youngest is just 4. I have symptoms similar but obviously less debilitating and am in need of some advice. I am trying so hard to please the XY's but need some moral support. |
| 59 | Name : Jon Boy Added : March 2010 Comments : Your website is both an informative tool as well as education tool to women out there. they just don't understand what us men go through. I am currently suffering from the flu and it's taking its toll on me as I write so I have to go now... |
| 58 | Name : Bobby C Added : March 2010 Comments : Just got over the dreaded man-flu myself, but i have been one of the lucky ones, hopefully thats it for another 12 months |
| 57 | Name : Ria G Eldon Added : March 2010 Comments : OMG! BRILLIANT. |
| 56 | Name : Greg Added : March 2010 Comments : I have this affliction, and can tell these will be some of my last words. The energy to type is fleeting. My last wishes are a hot cup of coffee and spicy wings, or maybe pizza and playstation. Either way, it's just delaying of the inevitable. Be well fellow men... |
| 55 | Name : Steve Added : March 2010 Comments : As a man flu sufferer, I found the information on this site to be 100% accurate. I have forwarded the link to my girlfriend so she can recognise this misunderstood illness. Thanks! |
| 54 | Name : Concerned Mrs Added : March 2010 Comments : Man Flu is real and cannot be ignored. My other half is suffering terribly and i know it's a serious case of MF due to the fact he is never ill, never close to tears and never uses a hot water bottle. As a concerned Mrs i urge other girlfiends and wives to 'Man Up', play the carer because let's face it our boys don't normally moan and groan about the sniflles so when they do you know it's serious! |
| 53 | Name : Jim Perren Added : March 2010 Comments : I would like to propose a (snot) green ribbon. I, for one, would be proud to wear it, to acknowledge my support for sufferers and to support further medical research into Man Flu. |
| 52 | Name : mattruskin Added : March 2010 Comments : There is hope! I have just got over man flu - it took four weeks of almost constant mollycoddling, 154 tins of chicken soup and associate crusty rolls, a complete re-watch of the whole of The Wire (even Season 5) and nearly 2 hous off work... Be brave and you can beat it. |
| 51 | Name : Jamie Wright (Barrow) Added : December 2009 Comments : Man Flu is deadly, it can kill! More women should be made aware of this website. A TV Advertising campaign is in need. |
| 50 | Name : Annoyed gf Added : December 2009 Comments : I am sick of man flu right, apparently its the end of the world for bf yet im the one on antibiotics and numbing stuff for ear and thrat infection... garr |
| 49 | Name : Carl Added : December 2009 Comments : I currently have the early stages of man flu. My nose is blocked and i have a ore throat with that horrible dull ache. I'm too young to die! :( |
| 48 | Name : Andy Added : December 2009 Comments : I have man flu at the moment, doubt I'll survive the night.....goodbye world |
| 47 | Name : Richie-Rich Added : December 2009 Comments : Possibly the most hillarious (sorry, I mean serious) site I have seen this year! |
| 46 | Name : Greg Added : December 2009 Comments : As difficult as it is to concentrate and to overcome the terrible muscular pain in my fingers right now I feel I have to show my encouragement and support for all male sufferers everywhere. These people who get Ebola don't know how lucky they are! |
| 45 | Name : Vonni Added : December 2009 Comments : you didn't mention the degree of severity my friend had type 3 MF but just before he went on holiday it became type 2 which meant with support he was able to go off and recoop in the sun, ah!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 44 | Name : worried wife Added : December 2009 Comments : thank you soo much for the site. thought my hubby just had a sniffle, if i hadn't found this site i dread to think what could of happenend. It was touch and go for a while but i think he might just pull through. thankyou x |
| 43 | Name : Earl-Ray Added : December 2009 I am currently in full blown stage two man-flu as I write this. Delirious and doped up on Tylenol Sinus. Unable to concentrate. I haven't slept in hours! Misery, oh misery! I lament the poor wretch that suffers what I have suffered! Please keep me in your thoughts. Earl-Ray |
| 42 | Name : Nick Glover Added : December 2009 Comments : Thank God for this site. Without it I would surely have succumbed to the ravishes of this spiteful illness and, rather than retiring home at lunch time to cower beneath the duvet with only The Wire to keep me from heading into The Light, would surely have perished mid-conference call. Not only that, but finally there is a useful and practical reference guide for my girlfriend, allowing her to help herself to help me through these dark days. Thank-you, gents; thank-you. |
| 41 | Name : Jen Added : September 27th 2009 Comments : OMG this is so correct... I didn't realise how deadly it was! pmsl |
| 40 | Name : Allison Young Added : September 27th 2009 Comments : Are male vampires and zombies affected by Man Flu too? My vampire boyfriend says he has Man Flu, but I thought vampires never got sick. |
| 39 | Name : Kevin Added : September 27th 2009 Comments : I am a paramedic and have been doing some research into man flu being a severe suffered of it myself. It has been diagnosed medically and has a proper name (acute viral rhinopharyngitis). Hopefully one day there will be a cure for this debilitating and discriminatory illness. |
| 38 | Name : Snot master Added : September 27th 2009 Comments : Ive been dieing of this male affliction for a week, thankyou for the advice...I will be calling a preist today the end is nie for me lads. |
| 37 | Name : Beverley Added : July 11th 2009 Comments : Hi, I came to New Zealand from Canada hoping to get away from the Man Flu. It's starting to spread Global by the sounds of it. My question? My husband is telling me that Hot brandy at night, and "pure blondes" (beer, I think)seems to be the only thing that is helping him feel better. Should I be giving him these? |
| 36 | Name : Richard Hinxy Added : July 11th 2009 Comments : I have either MF or swine flu. Though I think it may be swine flu as I have come out in nasty rashers... |
| 35 | Name : Keryn Added : July 6th 2009 Comments : Thankyou for this most valuable public service; my man is currently suffering from this debilitating disease. I have a cold and I am managing to pull through virtually unscathed, but thanks to you I now understand why my husband (and my brother where it originated) have been suffering so badly. I feel such shame for my sneers and asides and evil, evil thoughts; I don't know how I could have been so selfish. I am about to go and rub my husband's feet and do a Snotometer(c) check. Thankyou again. |
| 34 | Name : simon Added : July 2nd 2009 Comments : Now I know this web-site is a fake. Every man who has had man-flu knows that in the last 3 stages of severity, the snot colour becomes distinctively more yellow. |
| 33 | Name : Bill Oliver Added : July 2nd 2009 Comments : I now live in New Zealand and left the UK to escape the threat of MF, but I fear due to the influx of visitors to this Island if MF was to take hold then there will be no wear else to hide. |
| 32 | Name : Brian Added : July 2nd 2009 Comments : I checked against you snotometer, and my snot has a definite streak of brownish yellow running thru it. Also, if I sneeze violently, I get a discharge from other bodily orifices at the same time - is this normal? My wife is refusing to come closer lately, even tho' I have been here on the couch helpless for the last 6 days. The cat has disappeared. The dog (thank goodness for best mates!) is still there, lying at the foot of my feet (or should that be at the feet of my foots?), and hasn't moved a muscle for the last few days either. Can dogs get Man Flu from men? Send me the nurse on your website! Quick! before I fade into oblivion! |
| 31 | Name : Brian Added : July 2nd 2009 Comments : I can feel the sniffles coming on already! I had better head on home NOW! (I'll phone ahead tho' to make sure everything is ready for my arrival.) S'not good! |
| 30 | Name : Sir Added : June 28th 2009 Comments : Further to your informative article on the vexing issue of Man Flu. Genetic predisposition aside, men are on average also larger than females and hence offer much greater area for bugs, in general to hide, multiply and produce their respective toxins. More bugs means more toxins, more toxins mean greater intensity of symptoms. So in the case of Man Flu men get a double dose! Its a testiment to our resiliance that most of us survive any Man Flu infection. |
| 29 | Name : Ali Mac Added : June 26th 2009 Comments : I guess you're right... I've just compared my girl snot to the snotometer chart and it's not even the right shade... guess it really must be a man thing...! |
| 28 | Name : Mark Bang Added : June 25th 2009 Comments : Have you noticed how the person leading the response to the current Flu Pandemic is a woman? It realy makes you wonder... |
| 27 | Name : Warren Added : June 24th 2009 Comments : The snotometer colour guides need more yellow introduced into the green although this may be a particular mutation of New Zealand man-flu. |
| 26 | Name : Jude Added : June 22nd 2009 Comments : What an awesome site. Well done and Ooooooooh!! so true. Thanks for the laughs...Q;-) |
| 25 | Name : Julie Added : June 20th 2009 Comments : Although I have never caught it I have been suffering from MF for years! |
| 24 | Name : Ian Added : June 10th 2009 Comments : I think the snotometer is a long overdue guide and should be widely available on the NHS. Does it operate on the litmus test principle I wonder? |
| 23 | Name : Naomi Added : June 1st 2009 Comments : Did you know that the ManFlu has now mutated together with the SWINEFLU??? Yes! It's when a victim of ManFlu goes into shock, resulting in hyper panic of it being SWINEFLU. The result SWI-MAN FLU! Watch out!!! It's spreading! |
| 22 | Name : Danny Added : May 18th 2009 Comments : It's all very well women sneering at man flu and saying it's "just a cold". It's all a fix - they bang on about how painful periods and childbirth are, but we have no evidence whatsoever that it hurts at all. Man flu is evil. Fact. |
| 21 | Name : Richard Added : May 18th 2009 Comments : Thanks guys, I'm suffering through a bout of Man Flu at the moment. If not for a sympathetic wife and her Macca's run's I dont't know if I'd still be around. |
| 20 | Name : Bes Added : April 28th 2009 Comments : Men are such wussies. please, just get over yourselves ;P |
| 19 | Name : Milford Cubicle Added : April 28th 2009 Comments : OMG. If Man Flu combines with Swine Flu then we'll end up with a whole load of potential fatalities. How will the human race survive? Perhaps we should isolate all men now, just to be safe? |
| 18 | Name : Kirsty Ende Added : April 28th 2009 Comments : My poor husband has just discovered he has this disease! Unfortunately for him, I'm a bitter twisted old bag so he'll probably die from it whilst I look after my own cold... oops! ;P |
| 17 | Name : Dr Gav Ina MD Added : April 28th 2009 Comments : Being a medical proffessional I am appalled that this site is helping men understand that they are really sick. It has taken years for women to get to the point where they can kick a man when he is down and make fun of him when he's dying. I will take this website down just you watch! |
| 16 | Name : Lar Currid Added : April 24th 2009 - 01:47 PM Comments : Thank god someone is out there that cares and understands. After a paticularly bad bout of MF your web site was a lifesaver after i had forwarded the link to every woman i know. They now understand the severity of this condition and will be well prepared to manage it in future. Thank You |
| 15 | Name : Richard Added : April 20th 2009 - 06:07 AM Comments : Women the world over don't realise how lucky they are to be imune to this dibilitating affliction. They will only ever be able to imagine the horrendous suffering involved. |
| 14 | Name : Gav Added : April 16th 2009 - 10:21 AM Comments : My friend Jonny is currently suffering. I'm really worried for him, I hope he can get through this. I've had it and got through it several times I just hope he's strong enough. |
| 13 | Name : Murkster-Dubez Added : April 11th 2009 - 01:17 AM Comments : Thank god there is a helpsite for this deadly illness. most people just dont understand it, thankfully manflu.info is here to teach and inform others. Ive currently been hit hard by this illness and recovery isnt looking to great, hopefully i can pull through |
| 12 | Name : Big Jim Added : July 15th 2009 Comments : It's about time man flu got the recognition that it warrants! This is a serious condition and having a resource like this is invaluable in educating our partners. |
| 11 | Name : Don Tocher Added : April 2nd 2009 - 10:21 AM Comments : Great site, full of practical help and advice for this chronic, debilitating illness - wot I am suffering from now... |
| 10 | Name : Dave Added : March 26th 2009 - 12:08 PM Comments : An excellent site full of useful types for surviving this life threatening illness. I am currently seeking treatment for a particularly nasty bout and the information on this site has been invaluable. Well done folks! |
| 9 | Name : Bastien Added : March 19, 2009 - 10:10 AM Comments : Hey ! Your site is Great !! Well done guys ! |
| 8 | Name : Man Flu wimp Added : March 13, 2009 - 12:46 AM Comments : Very true, ladies read and learn! Cough cough cough.... |

| 5 | Name : David Added : February 15, 2009 - 01:51 PM Comments : Ha Ha, it all makes sense now, going to try this out next time I want the day off |
| 4 | Name : Crystal Marie Added : January 26, 2009 - 03:54 PM Comments : Thank you for this. I'm a woman that just didn't know all this information until you shared it. Thanks for making this information available to the public. I'm going to go seek out men to take care of. It's cold in DC, and I'm sure someone could use my mollycoddling. |
| 3 | Name : Nigel Fleming Added : January 23, 2009 - 02:44 PM Comments : Thank you for the information, I really should get my doctor to read this! |
| 2 | Name : David Added : January 23, 2009 - 12:41 PM Comments : LOL! |
