I work out about 3 hours a day (well, since I became semi-retired --I work part time:applaud:) I started with the dreaded scratchy throat/tickle 9 days ago and AM STILL SICK! Normally, I would try an swm through it (unless I have a fever) but this "virus" has me flattened:bed:. I have NO energy and if I do any type of cardio, I am exhausted afterwards. I've had a barking cough for days, headaches so bad I want to blow my head off, and am very weak. I finally went to the dr. and he gave me antibiotics and a DX of sinus infection. I swam 3000 today, felt pretty good (not 100%) and am pretty tired right now, but that's it. anyone else get this nasty virus? I hear it lasts up to a month!
At the risk of perhaps seeming a little self promotional, you can watch--in real time--a fellow swimmer slowly disintegrating into the depths of near microbial madness then, ever so slowly, re-emerging over the subsequent weeks into a shell of his former self.
A good place to start this chronicle of woe is with this episode of my video vlog in the blog section of this very web site: forums.usms.org/blog.php
The episode above, entitled, "Soul MRSA or something worse?" picks up my unusual case of cold viruses gone wild on the morning I discovered two prominent and itchy buboes on my finger and abdomen, respectively.
Feel free to follow the whole lengthy recuperation as you find yourself sick MUCH LONGER THAN YOU THINK IS FAIR OR NATURAL!
Thus it has become with today's modern SuperColds.
God have mercy on all of our miserable souls!
