sick again :(

[leatherface]

I'm sick again!!! This is the 5th time this year i've been horribly sick, and prier to this year I might have got sick like once every 2 years. Maybe my immune system is really worn out from all of my activities i have no idea... but damn does this suck. I can't get anything to stay down today either, so ill be getting 0 grams of protein today Ok im sorry, this was pointless but I had to rant.

 

[The Red Dragon]

Maybe you're overtraining? Working out can have an immune supressing effect when your cortisol goes through the homeostatic roof. Why can't you get protein?

 

[Chris Benoit]

Do you take alot of supplements like creatine, ephedra, caffeine, or anything else? Some people's bodies just can't handle these substances and it makes them sick. I know, I'm one of them.

 

[Serea]

Can you get a protein shake to stay down? You've probably tried that, but I thought I'd mention it.

 

[JollyRogers]

creatine, I just started takeing creatine about 5 days ago, I've been intching all over like a mofo from it, and it made my gut hurt for the first couple days, now Today I get a chest cold, it feels like its not that bad and will only stay for about 3-4 days, but still ... this sucks, oh well

Two questions:

Are you getting enough sleep?

What's your diet like?

 

[JollyRogers]

blah .. it left my chest now, its in my nose !!! lmao ..huff

 

[molnii]

yeah buddy it's maybe overtraining or u just don't get enough rest to recover!maybe take a few days off...

 

[Devastation]

More than likely nutrition and not enough rest. Get more than enough of both. and stay away from sick people. I don't even like leaving the house becuz of this reason.

hope its not the hiv

"Two questions:

I get about 8-9 hours of sleep each night.

My diet is pretty good, I get tons of carbs, not sure how many but 500g i'd guess, probably like 70-100g of fat each day and 225-275g of protein a day. Lately i've been getting alot more sugar than i normally do, but thats the only change I guess.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I was in bed all day yesterday

 

[molnii]

it seams that your diet is fine and u get enough sleep also....so how is your training look like??
hope u getting better now!

Get tested for AIDS... if it isn't AIDS start taking mega doses of Vitamin C. You need to kick start your immune system.

 

[leatherface]

It definetly isn't AIDS. I do take multivitamins, but I guess I'll have to start taking some extra Vitamin C pills. As for overtraining, it might be im not sure, I follow WS training on monday tuesday thursday and friday, do plyo on tuesday and thursday right after the WS stuff, and have martial arts classes on monday/wednesday. I'm usually atleast playing bball or something 1 day a week also, or doing something strenuous.

 

[Typhoid]

Dude... Zicam. I shit you not. I have an uber pathetic immune system, especially during allergy season and this stuff rocks nads. As soon as you feel it coming on, use it for a day or two and VOILA. I have avoided a a couple colds so far. I hope I never have to miss gym time to a cold again.

 

[leatherface]

Nonetheless im still overtraining though and need to change my routine around. But I'll keep that in mind.

Are you getting enough vegetables?

And have you considered adding a liquid multi vitamin?

 

[leatherface]

As for the vegetables...no way , I don't like any veggies except for potatoes. I try to get my fiber from other sources, but i think that may be lacking lately also. I get a liquid multivitamin somehow about once a week as well.
