I had it two years ago. I had 3 of the six strains. Was feeling very tiered and usually after 2-3hr training sessions ended with mild flu/colds. Not great when training for Iroman or Comrades. Was out of action for 8 months. Can get very nasty and effect the heart. My doc put me on a cortisone based tab for a month and prescribed a schedule 5 multi-vit for the tieredness (Geri-Complex). Also dosed myself with Moducare as per his advice. ( All athletes that uses Moducare must get them from the local HIV Aids centers, pharmacies ± R30-R50 more expensive) Was told that it always stays with us and that most endurance athletes have this with-out knowing. All you can do is eat right and know when to back off a bit. I got back into training with the usual unfit feeling but for the last two years all fine. Ran Comrades last year again. Half -Ironman this year and Cape-Epic soon. Best advice is get your doc to asses the situation. Did you have blood tests to confirm this? Hope all goes well.
