Been sick - need advice

[Juice Authority]

I started my cycle last week and the very next day came down with a cold, then a swore throat, then a cough and now congestion. This has been dragging on and on. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the cycle I just started or if it's just a coincidence. The strange thing is that the exact same thing happened on my last cycle.

Are there any supps or magical potions I can take to speed up the recovery process?

 

[DepressiveJuice]

vitamin C and any OTC sore throat syrups work for me

 

[granby140]

Vit C, zinc and eccinachea

 

[ViperHMS]

Don't forget, adequate sleep!!

hahaha! lol. i take shitloads of vitamin C (take 4 grams a day anyway) and never get sick (knock on wood). but i usually down a half bottle of nyquil and go into a coma for a day or so, then i'm over it by the time i wake up.

I'm a recovering alcoholic so Nyquil is not a good option for me otherwise I'll be back in the nutward again - 5150! We wouldn't want that now would we?

You immune system is probably slightly suppressed. You should take in adequate Vitamin C and drink plenty of fluids. Try Chicken Noodle Soup - really, New England Journal of Medicine has shown in studies for it to help get over the common cold quicker. Best soup is: Chicken Breast (cut), carrots (cut), celery (cut), Ramen Frozen Egg Noodles (freezer section), and Chicken Broth. The broth is what is helpful.

Remember:
1) High fluid intake
2) Sleep/Rest
3) Vitamin C

Vitamin C is more for preventive; The Soup, Fluids, and Rest is what will be needed. More than likely it is viral.

One other thing, ALWAYS wash your hand after going to the gym or even better, right after working out. Do you know how many people touch the weights, bars, etc.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

PS: Karma is always welcome here!

Good stuff - thanks...karma to you.

unless you make the soup yourself it's loaded with sodium and MSG. look at the fat in ramen noodles...not good. if you do vitamin c then go with a buffered version and do mega doses, otherwise it's not worth it imo

i believe Active Hexose Correlate Compound (AHCC) is THE most potent immune stimulating substance available otc.

if my cycles are too much in quantity i seem to get sick easilly, but when i taper down a bit it seems to help, a lot.

good luck, i hate being sick so i know what you're going through.

i've always got mine from www.pureprescriptions.com. i did a search one time and they were definitely the cheapest i could find. btw, the only brand i've ever used is Quality Of Life Brand, they now carry their own version but i've never used it.

good luck with it bro.

damn, my plan backfired. your too smart for me....almost had you back in the mental ward again. best plan is preventative as usual though like most have agreed here....take megadose vitamin C every day and never forget to do it. 2000mg timed release morning and night is what i do, total of 4 grams daily. echinacea root is supposed to help also, cut down the symptoms and duration once you are already sick if no one mentioned it yet.

What kindof gear? D-bols giving the shits and now this, that sucks. It's like you're allergic or something.

I find the best thing that works for a sore throat is gargling several times per day with warm/hot salt water. I also agree with the chicken soup advice. Amazingly this has been demonstrated in the medical literature. The other thing is lots of sleep and drink lots of fluids.

 

[babbabuee]

I drink a bunch of tea as well when I'm sick, non-caffenieted(sp?) with zinc and echinaccea. And lots of fluids and rest. Ok, I'm just repeating what the other bros said. get well soon.

 

[Nelson Montana]

All that, and Beta Glucan. 500 mgs 2X's a day.

And Vicks Vapo Rub.
