Must have been a 24-hour flu thing

Tags: ,

Most odd. By about 5pm today, I was feeling a lot better. All the aches and pains have gone, and my appetite has returned. Had some nice sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice, and a couple of glasses of wine.[1]

Looks like I’ll be fine for work tomorrow, which is not a Bad Thing

    Scientists say that there is no such thing as the 24 hour flu, but ive had all the symptoms of a flu, and its only lasted 24hrs, nearly precisely…explain that one to me then ? huh ?? !!!!!

    Ooh, that’s an easy one. The scientists in question were lying weasels. :shock:

    Either that, or these nasty things that knock you flat for 24 hours[1] aren’t flu, but some other kind of virus thingy. Something like that, anyway.

    The symptoms of food poisoning are nothing like what I was referring to…

    Perhaps this is one of those linguistic differences between the UK and the US, but I’ve never known anyone refer to food poisoning as “24 hour flu”. The former tends to be rather messy, the latter is more likely to involve general weakness and inability to actually move all that much.
