Cycotic Posted May 23, 2016 Share For the now 3rd week I have been trying to fight off my nasal drip, sneezing, runny nose, not feeling too good on rides (heart rate thing too) with eating nartjies etc. The last 3 days my dieet has been terrible (no veg etc) and I fear this morning my voice started going funny too and I have a head ache. I also do not wish it will fully get the hang of me, it should just clear up now.Small consolation to hear I'm not the only one. Had laryngitis and sinusitis about 2 weeks ago, which cleared up with antibiotics, but the post nasal drip and general lack of energy just isn't going away. HR much higher than normal, even in the gym (on the positive side I'm earning more Discovery points than normal). Was supposed to ride the Magalies Monster this weekend but just felt too rotten. So sat at the finish line and watched everybody come in. Which made me feel more depressed. I think it's safe to say I'm not the best person to be around when I'm off the bike.

Ranga Posted May 23, 2016 Share I've been off the bike since the end of April.I was fighting flu like symptoms since the beginning of April and had to pull out of Joberg2C halfway through day 7.My blood results show that I have glandular fever.Not sure how long it's going to take to recover which really sucks because I was the fittest that I have ever been.

I had a friend with it and it lasted literally years on and off. Long periods of being ok followed by a week in bed barely able to open their eyes. Treat it with much respect mate. Good luck.

The more I read up on it the more depressed I get. Washing the car is a huge effort at the moment. Hopefully i will feel good enough to get in an easy ride sometime soon.

Hopefully i will feel good enough to get in an easy ride sometime soon.I hope you are using recycled bath water to wash the car. It is a drought remember! (Just teasing) I hope you get better soon. I have also been fighting the same bugs as bonus for the last 4 to 5 weeks. They seem to be very persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted May 23, 2016 Share Not me, got a flu shot a few weeks back and it seemed to have work - this year at least. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon2trade Posted May 24, 2016 Share How much commission do you earn from these products? Sorry Stevie I did not disclose that I'm the Western Cape distributor for Re-Gen Peptides. The BioBalance product is available at Dischem, of which I do not get enriched but support the UCT Patent on Fulvic Acid derived from carbohydrates, also have no claims there. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk StevieL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted May 24, 2016 Share Started a head cold on the way down to Sani2c with a blocked sinuses and scratchy throat. Then developed a cough in time for the last day. Sinuses have cleared up, but the cough is still lingering, which is keeping me off the bike. At least the coaches at my gym are happy to see me a lot more than usual...

NotSoBigBen Posted May 24, 2016 Share A cold/flu 'arrives on horseback and leaves on foot' as my GP tells me ..... I have had the flu vaccine the last few years and must say besides mild colds I have not had any issues since then ... before that I almost always got serious flu at least once a year. Anecdotal at best but find it worth it for me! nonky and Bonus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anecdotal at best but find it worth it for me! My pulmonologist insists that all his patients have the flu shot annually and the pneumonia vaccine/shot (the new one - there are 2 - is good for 5 years, apparently).
