Sounds like the flu
As with all other health problems, this requires a cuppa tea.

Nonsense, Dr Eyes.
It sounds like a COLD. A COMMON COLD. Not FLU. A COLD.

A simple COLD that people everywhere get every day and DON'T FUCKING MOAN ABOUT IT.

A COLD.

/hates it when people moan about having a cold, call it "flu" or even take time off because of it.

Isn't the flu like a cold but worse?
If I were shivery and achy and snotty and probably contagious I'd stay at home. Staying at home is ace.

I think there's vomming
and a fever.

Damion mentioned high temperature
Has he been vomming?

If it lasts for a fortnight and he's unable to get out of bed
for 95% of that time, THEN I'd say it was Flu.

I only said flu, Dr Catfish
because of the achey joints and high temperature. I didn't think you get those symptoms with a common cold.
I agree about taking time off with a cold, also with headaches. Take painkillers and get over it I say!

A temperature and feeling achey are also symptoms of a COMMON COLD, Dr Eyes.
This article should explain more. i.e:

"Sometimes confused with the common cold, influenza is a much more severe disease and is caused by a different type of virus."

I see Dr Catfish
In that case, I recommend a cuppa tea.
