Just received this from my mother and thought I had better warn people.

Thank goodness – a diagnosis at last for my recurrent flu-like symptoms!

I’m so glad it’s finally been recognized… I’ve been knocked around by this flu so many times over the years, it’s one of those ones that just hits you suddenly and for some reason it’s more infectious on a weekend…  bizarre I know!

I went to a dinner party last night, where I and other guests enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol.  I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes etc.

From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested positive for what experts are now calling Wine Flu.  This debilitating condition is very serious and it appears this is not an isolated case.

Reports are flooding in from all around the neighbourhood of others diagnosed with Wine Flu.

To anyone that starts to exhibit the aforementioned tell-tale signs, experts are recommending a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down.

However, should your condition worsen, you should immediately hire a DVD and take some Nurofen [Nurofen seems to be the only drug available that has been proven to help combat this unusual type of flu].  Others are reporting a McDonald’s Happy Meal can also help in some cases, but I’m not so sure about that one.

Wine Flu does not need to be life threatening, and if treated early can be eradicated within a 24-48 hour period.  If not, then further application of the original liquid in similar quantities to the original dose has been shown to do the trick
