I got the flu on sept 10th and then i got a cold after that. work's been really busy. i got a massage, because my knee was troubling me - turns out that my very tight adductors were pulling on my knee, so i've been studiously stretching those muscles after working out. trouble is, i wasn't working out. i flew to detroit on sunday - got in 2 hours before my meeting - so i worked out!! (i was proud of myself for packing my workout clothes). got on the treadmill and after a few minutes realized how ill i still was - my lungs really hurt and i got that sick feeling. totally sucks, but i thought i was well enough to get some exercise anyway, so i stopped after a mile and then walked for another 20 min. felt good, and i'm glad i did! late flight back yesterday so i'm really tired now, but <
hope everyone is doing well.
take care!

So at this point it sounds like you are on your way back to health. Slow and steady, and nurture your whole system. So.... that means:
*SLEEP - best thing you can do
*water
*emergen-c
*healthy food - lots of veggies and protein, and cause you're having lung stuff, maybe avoid dairy or anything that makes you phlegmy or allergenic
*start the workouts again but go easy - maybe try long walking workouts and then ease into running - don't overtax your lungs, but don't UNDERtax them either.
You know all this stuff, but just keep supporting your overall health - focus on lessening the stresses to your system. Thank you for posting!
I really like a good bowl of pho when I'm under the weather. That basil and raw chile really helps me feel better. :)
Also, I really like zinc drops. That and echinacea always seem to help speed up my recovery.
Get well soon, friend.
Thanks for the advice guys -
too bad i was working too late to get pho - i just got home at 9:30 pm.
i should get back on the c and echinacea - btw - i got a psychic flash about basil... i have some basil essential oil - maybe some steam aromatherapy...
