how do you feel mentally and physically?

does it bother you that you cant do the things you enjoy

been sick with the flu and i cant go to the gym i hate having that lack of energy feel too and that tired feeling plus i am diabetic type 1 and having the flu has effected my blood sugars so much that it has been high for a very long time and plus always being on top of my diabetes is another stress in its self

sorry just venting a bit

I don’t get sick.

Horrible

was sick last week my legs felt weak but felt fine after laying down for 6 hours and then ran 5K the next day

Sometimes it feels like a much needed soft reboot, sometimes it’s a total drag.

this is true like if work is stressing you out and you dont want to be there your better off getting sick lol

currently have a cold or flue right now. IM weak af rn and feel really cold. Also cant breath

My condolences

yes I can't tolerate it at all and take vitamin c & zinc to avoid it. if i do i instantly go get the real sudafed with pseudoephedrine from the pharmacy, it's cheap especially the generic and it's a miracle cure when you're sick. especially for opening sinuses

BLAST ZINC

Type 2 or Type 1? @op

the influence on yr mental is massive tbh.

I've actually found it one of the most sure-fire signs that I'm getting sick again when I'm suddenly rly depressed for no reason, that's usually the day before I have any actual cold symptoms.

also I think getting Cov at least 7x (only tested, prob at least double if not triple) most def f***ed my immune long term. even taking B, C, D etc vits every day it's been getting easier to count the days I'm not sick rather than vice versa in winter...

spent most of Nov and Dec filling tissues

feels incredibly self defeating, particularly post covid and especially with how isolating winter already tends to be.

just got over one and spent days in bed on some full body sore s*** cus i didnt want to spread anything

also frustrating when u did everything for prevention (fluids, rest, supplements) and it still happens. only silver lining is {falsely?} thinking im invincible against getting infected by anything else while dealing w it

i dont usually call out; just show up w a mask and social distance. this was the only time i did cus i dont have a full time job anymore so the fear of getting fired/infracted wasnt as prominent

Men fever aint no joke fr better be hit by a truck

i hate that my brain seems like it's operating at a lower level than usual and people look at me like i got steaming turds hanging out of my mouth.

I had this during my bout with covid last year.

I ain't talking about discussing subjects to a extensive degree, it's more like struggling to form sentences and losing your train of thought y'know

1

all the best

ya i hear you i take a whole bunch of vitamins take ginger turmeric and still got sick you can prevent it as much so but you will still get it

Just now getting over a bad cold. I can handle being sick for like a day. When its like 3 days thats when I go stir crazy

it's more like struggling to form sentences and losing your train of thought y'know

honestly i had this the whole time with the flu and as a diabetic my sugars were always high and i had blurry version and struggling to concentrate directly with people even when i was sick too and a lot of brain fog

is it normal to have brain fog when your sick ?

Don't think I got sick this entire year

Still took about 6 sick days off work tho

5 days and counting started friday 1st two days were hell on earth f*** even the third but now its day 5 and going away plus being diabetic makes it worse

i got a friend with T1 and it sounds like hell compared to my T2, stay strong dawg

ima keep it real bro, it is my motivator lol. I’ll max only let it take me out for a day or 2, but then i gotta get back to moving. my mom got T2 and she was back day 3 from bed ridden not moving, she’s 63, so guess it’s just in me lol
