First day back in gym after battling flu for a week. Lost 12lbs, and still coughing. I was making nice gains lately, and BAM!

The flu has been tough world wide this year,,dealt with a bout at the end of '17. Mucinex is good for that cough.

That 12lbs will be water and glyco mostly so keep the faith.

My kids are walking petri dishes
Crèches/daycare are custom built incubators

This is a bad year for sure

Its been BAD this year! Knocked me out of commission for awhile a few weeks backs. I was REALLY sick for about 3 days,,and took about 2 full weeks to 95-99% recover. Still got a mild cough left.

I don’t have the flu but I do have pneumonia and I am 1700 miles from home for a few more days

That is like one of the worst things to be sick and away from home. I got the flu one time and was away from home and stuck in hotel puking my guts up. It sucks enough being at home doing that, but is magnitudes worse when away from home.
Get well soon.

Last night I was finally able to sleep some and it seems to have helped. I felt quite a bit better today and so far no more bloody flem today so I am happy for that. I won’t lie I was honestly getting a little nervous about how bad I was. Once the fever started I was like “oh fuck”...

The flu has gone through the rough locally, all over the news that they don't have the rooms for the patients. I think the flu shot is total bull shit. I used to get the flu every year, real bad. One week of hell. When I got out the military I stopped getting them, haven't had the flu since.

Get to feeling better big dog, add vitC to your daily regimen if you haven't already. 4000mg

First time in life needed a antibiotic. Spent the night o n my toilet seat cause as soon I got back in bed it returned. Like a bad gf that just won't leave

I despise antibiotics. They have their place though. The problem is they kill all the good bacteria too. Eating yogurt helps put good bacteria back in your gut. Also probiotics will help too.

Ty. I'm good at giving them to patients but first time I needed so now I know what why people do not like them. Drank a large dd hot chocolate and coffee mix. Came out just like I drank it!

I picked up one hell of a cough. Ended up on antibiotics, prednisone and an inhaler.

Ah snap. Been off a week now. Second course of antibiotics half done. You would have to be literally dying here before they would give you prednisone though which isn’t a bad thing in my view. Self medicating with some oral albuterol which is definitely helping. Hope to get back to the gym next week. Sucks big time!

I was knocked out of the gym for a good week. Toughest thing to do is not go to the gym but I think recovery is a lot quicker when you aren't taxing your body by working out. Plus I hate it when other people are coughing shit all over the place so I didn't want to be one of those guys either.

Dacky's picture

I hear you. I can barely walk up one flight of stairs to my bedroom without being out of breath and/or coughing up a lung so gym is 100% out for me. Weird thing is I am constantly hungry when normally I don’t have an appetite l....go figure it would be like that when I am trying to drop 10kg in fat :-p! Hope you fell better soon Mak!

It’s a friggin epidemic this year. Every state is in the red . So far I’ve been lucky. You guys that train in a gym don’t have a chance.
