Sick

its a savage winter this year,i have gotten sick twice and now have got a throat infection,its not fun i must admit..

Well went back to the doc, apparently i was supposed to do 10 days of klacid antibiotic instead of 5 , started taking again yesterday and today i wake up and im feeling 100%, fucking doctors.... lol.......
I definitely recommend animal pak, its expensive but do yourselves a favour,
Ill also get a flu shot next year just incase,
My daily regime of vitamins now :
1x Animal Pak
1 x 1g Vit c
2 x Fiberelle tabs(probiotic&fibre)
1 X 1g Omega 3
1 X Cranberry
1 X Hawthorne berry

My fiance thinks im fucking crazy but for me its a routine...the hawthorne and cranberry ill usually use more when on cycle.

Just be careful with antibiotics. Most bacteria have developed resistance to them and no new antibiotics are being developed. Its not good that you did five days and not ten as starting the course again is key to resistance development but even though u feel 100% be sure to complete the course, dont for a minute think its fine to stop cos its not. Hope they work for u.

Yeah,
Not taking the full course of antibiotics is the worst thing you can do toward combating bacteria. This is how MDR and XDR tuberculosis came around for instance. There is a serious shortage of effective antibiotics on the market right now because of all the resistant strains that have emerged from antibiotic misuse. PLEASE always complete your antibiotic course even if you are feeling better!!

In addition do not take antibiotics if you have a flu or cold as these are predominantly caused by viruses (flu is exclusively viral). Only if you get a secondary bacterial infection do you take antibiotics. I can't tell you the amount of times I've had to tell my doctors not to subscribe antibiotics to me, its like they use it as a super duper cure all. This is part of modern misuse. If you have a flu and the doc prescribes antibiotics JUST SAY NO.

On a third and final point if you cycle regulary ALWAYS get your flu vaccination. As Beesting said low estrogen and upset hormonal balance leads to a suboptimal immune response. I'm always weary when I do a winter bulk (especially so this year since I work in close proximity to H1N1) since I always same some kind of estrogen depressor and thus have slightly lower immune function. Just remember to always get your vaccine before you cycle. Since it's a subunit vaccine if you get it while on cycle your low immune response will possibly lead to poor antibody titers and a resulting low level of protection.

Dont feel bad bro... i also been sick and off gym for 2 weeks now, tired of it now, i'm going back to gym on monday no matter what!!

Thanks bud, Im also going to start again on Monday, im going to do like 3 sets very light and then use the steamroom, i can feel that its almost gone..
Really the colds/flu this year are terrible, alot of my colleagues also starting to get it..... could this be the start of a pandemic? lol.....
