I saw the NBC Nightly News for today.
It turns out that testosterone makes cold and flu symptoms worse...
and estrogen makes those symptoms better. 
So far my cold isn't too bad.
Tylenol and Sudafed are doing their job.
Get well!!
Yesterday that subject was also on dutch TV: the man-cold or the man-flu.
Testosterone makes us strong at the outside, but weakens our inner defenses.
Of course you (I - we) could take estrogen, but that makes us feel better once a year.
And make us feel worse every month.
BTW when TV-adds mention the one-week-a-month cyclus I often think:
dang, I must have missed out on her good week again!
want to try one of these?
"Seriously considering buying some illegal drugs to try to turn them back into cold medicine."
Nice music video! 
Get well soon, bro.
I also only get sick a few times a year (only once, if the going is good) and I don’t like it one bit! I’ve been sick since Saturday night. It started with a bad scratchy throat. Then, it went on to runny nose and head congestion, then added chest congestion. Coughing and sneezing has been frequent. Mostly the coughing. General tiredness, achiness, and brain fog to top it all off! Here’s hoping you and I both get well soon! :confounded:
Well, it must be that time of year.
I think I'm coming down with something.
I feel moderately miserable and have a sore throat.
I'm out of orange juice, so I'll have to get some in the coming days.
I think I'm sick, and not just in the head!
Speaking of my head, it feels kinda plugged up.
(I hate being sick.)
I used to get colds and flu's and killer migraines all the time until my wife finally convinced me to change my diet. I miss the potato chips, ice cream, cookies, fatty foods and junk food in general but not enough to ever go back. Just an occasional cheat once in a while with no harm done. The real downer was the headaches and I'm glad they are gone for good as they basically crippled me every time they came along.
About half of the food I eat is healthy.
The other half is junk.
And I get miserable sick once or twice a year...
So I'm doing pretty well the vast majority of the time. 
When I lived down South and UK. winter was a blight. Shit weather. shit health.
last 46 yrs in Tropics. Suntan and sweat 10 months of yr. Perfect.
We NEVER get crook up here.
When I got “rotten” with the winter weather,
I found that a good night sweating it out overnight.
Normally did the trick.
Active wife fixed me every time. Sometimes a girlfriend (shhh) too.
Eat lots of banana’s. the potassium. fibre, and sugars do you the world of good.
I’ve been a vegeterian, as far as red meat and chicken concerned for 50 odd yrs.
Keeps you healthy.
Did you try to hire a nurse ?
Get well soon
Look at it from the bright side.
At this very moment your body is modding last year’s anti-bodies.
That is a works of a normal (I did not say healthy) body.
But it is a lot better than hearing the hazmat guy say: our pathologist found blood in your goo.
Blood in my goo...
That paints a pretty picture! 
what’s goo
do you mean mucus or poo
Stop eating out of trash cans
dang raccooons
Them's good eatin'! 
Sorry guys :person_facepalming:
I tried a (lame) variation on what Dino Crocetti supposedly was told the last time he had a physical:
“I am afraid we found traces of what we think is blood in your alcohol”.
What about me? I am so full of anti-bodies that I wonder what the f… happened to all the bodies.
