Am I overtraining or just getting sick?

ad

Right now on week 8 of a 12 week cycle, and I had to stop going to the gym because the glands on the back of my throat got swollen, and I was feeling feverish yesterday.

Thought it might be strep, but I'm feeling better today and will hopefully be able to hit the gym back in 2-3 days from now.

Right now just taking a lot of warm baths/showers, gargling with salt water and eating as much as I can but not overdoing it.

Have you ever gotten a bad cold, or strep, sore throat while on a cycle? Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Sounds like you have the same shit I just got rid of. Upper respiratory infection. You'll be alright. Go get you a shot of solestone and some antibiotics and you'll be okay in a few days. DON'T train!

High intensity training will decrease your immune system. Especially if you're cutting back on fats that bind vitamins (C) in your body.
Swollen glands indicate your immune system is fighting a bacteria or a virus atm.
