Illness. Why is it that..

[jnevin]

Whenever I get a cold, flu, etc., the whole world seems to stop and I turn into the biggest baby? When I break a bone, have a bad cut, concussion, etc. I'm almost happy about it. Most of my friends (guys) are like this as well. I love the soreness after a workout that lasts a few days, but bitch about the body aches when I'm sick. Why is this?

cuz it's not hypertrophy.

Cause we lean on our SOs for help?

i am sick of being sick....

Oddly, kind of. I ususally end up doing it by pushing myself and trying something crazy, mountain biking, snowboarding, whatever. Unless it's a rib or my right hand I can go on as usual. A bad cold makes me feel like a baby that wants its pacifier.

So if you slipped on some ice and broke something, you'd say "YEEAAAHHH!"

I'd most likely say Doh! I'd also be a bit put off because it would be my ass that was broken and would be carrying a donut to sit on. It isn't usually those kind of things that have me laid up as I have decent muscle mass and it tends to protect my frame. I did break my clavicle this summer mountain biking and that was a bit of a nuisance. It didn't bug me too much though. I'm a little odd in the sense that I like pain. I'm not a freak about it, but that may be a part of it.

I know what you mean, and Im sorta the same way.

I think its the accompanying feeling of weakness that gets me down, like you couldnt punch your way out of a paperbag.

I can't imagine what its like for BigDawg feeling that way 24/7

You can normally punch your way out of a paper bag? WTF? I need another cycle. I don't think I could punch through wet tissue today. Aside from vitamin C, Zicam, and a ton of fluids, anyone know of a way to get this shit done faster? Like they came out with a miracle cure in the last week. *sigh*
