I think I am catching a cold.

[AAP]

You know how you wake up and your throat is sore and all scratchy. And you didn't even have a date last night......

Thing is, I had a better one of my chest workouts last night. Anyone ever find that they are stronger and train better the day before they get sick? Weird.

Same here....my daughter decided to share a massive head cold.

My nose feels like it weighs 5 pounds.

I've had some really strong work outs while I had a cold. I've had some really awsome sneezes too, the kind that feels like someone pulled a ball and chain up through your chest and throat tearing out everything on it's way out.

Those suck.

feel stronger= overtraining= immunocompromisation= cold/flu

i get mouth ulcers and/or sick if i train too hard or dont eat enough

Or when you sneeze it feels like you are actually going to crack a rib. (especially when you have low bodyfat.)

i caught a cold last month, right before Christmas. it hung around and woudn't leave, much like my current temporary roommate, (j/k!) and became a "massive sinus infection"quoting my doctor. my doc said my nose and throat looked like a package of ground turkey meat. a shor in each glute and some massive, stomach churning anti-biotics and i am slowly feeling better, finally.

damn that is too long to feel miserable. 6 weeks.

 

[gonelifting]

As soon as I feel it coming on now, I pop 5-1000mg of vitamin C and agin another 2 or 3 every few hours with multi`s and it seems to be working. Whether it`s that or not...I have no idea but I`m not arguing.

I used to really get sick EVERY year and knock on wood... Nothing these past couple of years.

 

[CipherLock]

6 weeks is horrendous. See a doc. (professionaly)

 

[rnch]

yes, that's what FINALLY got me to the doctor's office......told myslef that a cold should not last for 5 weeks, that something else was wrong with me. i went to an awesome new year's eve party wired on OTC cold medicine....3 drinks and i was wiped out. i was a cheap date that night!!!!

 

[AAP]

I rarely get colds, but when I do, they stick with me about 3 days. And they are ALWAYS accompanied by a excellent training day prior. dunno why. But right now, my chest is sore as shit and cramping up everytime I move my arm(s) horizontally.

 

[CipherLock]

How does your lower back feel?

 

[rnch]

did you and AAP hook up last night?

 

[CipherLock]

did you and AAP hook up last night?

nah, just wondering if it could be his lungs suggesting an aggravated cold via asthma.

 

[AAP]

my lower back is fine. just my head and nose. I cough every now and then. sniffing mostly

 

[glennds]

the worst part of a bad cold is the final stage of dry coughing. i must be doing something right since i dodged a cold and the flu this winter so far.

Sure fire way to tell if I am getting sick, is a sneeze that I can feel in my veins..........

 

[hardrock]

I have had a cold that started with the flu since Christmas.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

drink some lemon-ginseng green tea. the aroma alone makes you feel better

 

[chewyxrage]

sleep for 20 hours.

Hmmm....so she was throwing a cold?

Which leads a girl to wonder if you can throw a cold to more than one person at a time? And if so does it do sort of a mid air mitosis thing and then the new multiple colds are caught by 2 or more catchers?

And if your nose is smaller are you less likely to catch it?

And if we throw a cold and someone catches it then why do we still have it too?

sleep for 20 hours.

the absolute best remedy.

Probably just by touching everything. Door knobs, TV remote, computer, etc.

Maybe I should just quit picking my nose altogether.......

green tea sweetened with some honey and lemon helps a throat, zinc losenges help too.

 

[Wynn]

AAP I figure you're due. Enjoy.

It seems the longer one goes without getting sick the harder it hits when it does.
