Men: When you are sick, do you get the 'man-flu'?

Imagine for a moment that a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, hardened by four overseas deployments, has endured broken limbs and other serious injuries. Yet, at the first sign of a cold, this trained soldier collapses into a pathetic and helpless pile. Such a situation is nothing new for Leanne, who preferred that her last name not be disclosed. She said she is fascinated by how, at the first sign of a cold, her husband can turn from warrior to what she calls "wimp." "My husband's been to war four times, and a simple head cold takes him down for the count," she said. She says many women agree that what is regarded as a common cold for women is no simple ailment to men. In fact, it even has its own name: "man-flu."
