    The sheer bravery it took to come out and speak openly about this debilitating illness..... Joe, you're nothing less than a Hero!

    Such an important message. My heart goes out to you both. Stay strong. As a fellow survivor I know the strain it can put on a marriage. Try to forgive her as I try to forgive my feckless uncaring wife.

    I swear every time I get man flu and I think I'm overreacting I come back to this video and I'm reminded how serious it is ❤

    @stormotron 11 місяців тому +2

    As I sit here suffering from this awful affliction, I can't help but feel hopeful that maybe one day, I might be as strong as Joe. I've gotten over the worst of it now and am in recovery. Thank you for this inspiring video, it came at a time of great need for me.

    It makes me mad that women just can not grasp the seriousness of this illness, more education on the long term affects is needed.

    I think I just stood in front of Joe in Aldi now, to say I was star struck wouldn't cover it! Great to see him doing well in his recovery . 👏

    I have Man-flu. But I'm going to fight it. This video is so so instructive and helps women understand better the silent pain we go through.

  • @paulhyland7645
    @paulhyland7645 10 років тому +15

    I so relate to this. I have a dose of it myself right now. I just don't understand how my wife was so negligent to let me get this!

  • @psyickphuk
    @psyickphuk 13 років тому +2

    I'm suffering from manflu right now, it really helps to know there are others out there who have got through it & aren't afraid to speak about it. Truly inspiring, thank you.

  • @Vrex622
    @Vrex622 6 років тому +7

    I would not wish the terrible affliction of man flu on anyone, no matter how much I might hate them.
    Sometimes it's so hard to bear everything we men have to go through. WHY haven't NHS set up a priority department in A&E for this horrifying disease already??

    • @Manwith3buttocks
      @Manwith3buttocks  6 років тому +4

      Vrex622 The sad thing is, people laugh it off. Even when the evidence is blatantly shown to them like this. Hopefully one day there will be an awakening and a movement which finally leads to us men being heard.
      In the meantime, please, stay strong.

    Classic in the making here folks. Well done on this account of manflu.
    I'm gonna watch this over and over again, and I might, now only MIGHT, show the wife. I'll have to make sure she'll be strong enough to watch it. She will be devastated.

  • @johngrant4670
    @johngrant4670 2 роки тому

    This just has the tears rolling down my cheeks everytime. A tremendous bit of acting by Johnny but how Deirdre manages to keep a straight face is worth an oscar. I wonder how many takes this took to make. :)

  • @DelTangBrav
    @DelTangBrav 11 років тому +1

    No it isn't just an Irish thing - men worldwide are seriously affected by it. This man is very lucky having such an understanding partner, many of us are scoffed at when we get it - Often by female partners who themselves make a such a fuss over a natural thing like childbirth - and get quite annoyed when we remind them that we didn't carry on like they're doing when we did our bit nine months previously. It's sometimes very difficult being a man.

  • @ThePoppydee
    @ThePoppydee 13 років тому +1

    Very Informative..... sorry got to rush now as my man appears to have Manflu he is lying on sofa and cant reach the remote for tv... Best get it for him. Bless him.

    A warning to all - this video is highly contagious, I only watched this once and have caught the deadly manflu

  • @MarkPoppinPringlesleaf
    @MarkPoppinPringlesleaf 13 років тому

    Brilliant. Its video's like this that gives us all hope and puts the pint over on how serious man flu is. I had a bout not long ago. I was put on anti biotics and bed rest.

  • @brendanhegarty5098
    @brendanhegarty5098 13 років тому

  • @PadhraicinN
    @PadhraicinN 13 років тому

    Thanks for sharing this invaluable health information. I actually thought a few Lempsip would shake it off in 2 or 3 days, but the recovery rate is obviously much longer. I have certainly learned to be more sympathetic to men who are going through this.

  • @MrCoops5uk
    @MrCoops5uk 12 років тому

    I just hope I'm as lucky.

    No..,Mary said there was no need. LOL. (jaysus!, what more hints do you need) This had me in stitches.

  • @jubil4300
    @jubil4300 10 місяців тому

    Could we erect a monument to all man flu survivors. It would act as a reminder of the suffering generations of men have gone through and not all made it out the other side.

  • @47bayley
    @47bayley 13 років тому

    @LavishCreative Yes the word needs to be spread about this, I have found from my own experience that watching football in front of a nice fire, with a pint and a bacon sandwich tends to mitigate the worst effects of manflu. However, the danger of relapse by doing something like housework is a real danger.

    @kevfreeflight1 13 років тому

    Please tell all women about how serious this condition is for us men. Its so serious that noe female will ever understand just how bad this is and gets to us that have this terrible and debilitating illness. It lasts for weeks and can flare up at any time that we are asked to do something and we will have to sit and rest and recover as the thought of doing the job can be disastrous. Good luck my friend... Achhhhhhooooooo

    I to have contracted the man flu, the symptoms came on rapidly through the early hours , the sad thing is I to survived it 4 years back but the marriage didn't make it as my ex wife was of the same carefree attitude as Mary in this video !!
    So fighting it alone this time , my nose looks like Ronald McDonald and I just hope I can make it through this time ... 🙏

    @Shmulvey Thanks very much! We appreciate the comment. You're right, if we had done it in any other way than completely straight and serious, it wouldn't have had the same results, Johnny Graham and his wife played the couple and they were brilliant, nearly each shot was done in one take, makes the work easy!
