Why I Believe "Man-Flu" Could be Real.
I've spent the last four days ill! A sore throat that felt like razor blades was passing through as I swallowed water or food. A cough that burns my chest and brings up some questionable Mucus. A bright red nose from blowing it every 10 minutes. It hasn't been an easy week, that's for sure. But as most women do, I've got up and still carried on, still needed to get those school runs done, take my daughter to a birthday party, clean the house and feed the family. It's what we do, no matter how we are feeling. But it made me think. When my partner is ill, he is really ill. He gets a high fever, chills, sweats constantly, coughs and can barely move from the bed. No way could he continue to do the things I've had to do the past week. But I can see its real, he isn't being dramatic or craving attention, truth be told he would rather be left alone when he's in that state, so it made me wonder, Is the old saying of "Man-Flu" a real thing? Or are women just more resilient?
