    Shit dawg, I missed the gym and cardio for 10 days thanks to this shit.

    Still not feeling 100% yet either. Pound vitamin C, but I broke down and went to urgent care and got a Z Pack. They said my infection was quite severe. No need to push to pneumonia status is what they said.

    Antibiotics wont do shit for the flu. Get plenty of bed rest, water and food. Best thing you can do is wait it out. I had the flu over the weekend. Last night was my first night back in the gym since getting sick.

    I feel your pain man. I got sick last week. Started with a sore throat that was just an annoyance, but it got reall bad. That got better after 3 days and then the goddamned stuffy nose set in. Long story short; I am now on my vacation nursing a nasty upper respiratory infection. Antiobiotics give me the shits too..

    What I usually do is get more than enough sleep. Take NyQuil or whatever you can to make sure you sleep through the night and I also take that emergen-C stuff and few times a day. Unless you're full blown sick that should work

    Its just starting so if I hammer everything hard the first couple days I might be able to beat it before it goes full blown and wrecks me

    I just started that nyc stack yesterday hope that has nothing to do with it..im gonna discontinue it for now. Don't need any muscle wasting weaker and I'm gonna bump the gh up to 15iu ed till its gone

    Seems everyone is getting sick lately ... My wife got the bug last week, and I know a few others work related that have it. This is like 2 months early for this sort of stuff! We might be in for a long run this season!

    Razor, hope you feel better!

    Vitamin C won't do much. It's more preventative than anything else and your body will only absorb so much C and the rest is excreted through the kidneys. In fact, the more C you take, the more you'll pee. Get some zinc, A, and magnesium. The three will work synergistically to boost your immune response. When I'm sick, I take up to 20 mg of zinc per day for 7 days straight. Don't take this dose for more than 7 days because zinc is toxic at high doses for extended periods. If you have any GI issues, keep your diet as bland as possible for 72 hours. Rest, hydrate, and yes, sweat it out!!!!!

    Zinc not vitamin C will work better for this? I had a horrible night last night.
