Wyatt Earp Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Me ;( been doing well this winter with just the common cold, yesterday afternoon, boom I feel like I've run over by a truck. Everything hurts. Thinking of you Uni, get well :thumbup: Uni 1
bclark Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) My sons Paediatrition (who happens to be a Professor), put me on Zithromax and an antihistamine called Fexo.I then take almost every day:1 x Multivitamin1x Dolomite1 x Omega tablet1 x Iron1 x ModucareAnd then 1 x Raw Garlic clove. Much like you guys, I was almost always sick, and struggled to shake it.I find my recovery time has improved tremendously since I have been taking Zithromax and Fexo, and im hardly ever sick now days.

twin rings Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 well thanks, i started thinking i was going off my head! I've been sick with cold and flu for 4 weeks. Just when i think its gone and getting ready to ride it hits again. I haven't been on the bike since Sani. Done the anti biotics, no result. Think i will get vitamin posioning with all the gumph i'm taking. So, anyone, what's the magic cure?
GrantRH Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I have succumbed. At least I managed to squeeze in the Sondela before, but it looks like I will have to bow out of the Nissan Hakahana.
fandacious Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I had flu shot last year and I was sick the entire winter. No to be perturbed I went and had flu shot in april this year, and touch wood, I havent even had a sniffle yet this year.
HowellingWulf Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Sick dude over heres. Should make it a vote enabled site. Easier for us sick buggers EDIT: Not "sick" as in "gnarly, bru" but sick as in <cough><cough> Edited June 30, 2014 by HowellingWulf
Vangar Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Have an irritating cough that comes and goes, and my chest feels tight. If I get on the bike I can't breathe in 5 minutes flat. Sucks a bit.

I'm allergic to penicillin and longer course anti biotics don't work. Only thing that got me sorted last year.

Only thing that got me sorted last year.As good as Zithromax is, it is supposed to be used for bacterial infections. Not going to be much use for viral infections such as cold or flu.Having said that, it worked a treat on an ear infection I had earlier this year. Edited June 30, 2014 by StevieL
Rob K Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Guys, What's the advice when just getting over a cold. Should we wait it out until completely clear or start light indoor work? Will starting too soon after being sick jeopardise the recovery? Rob Edited July 2, 2014 by Rob K
bclark Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Guys, What's the advice when just getting over a cold. Should we wait it out until completely clear or start light indoor work? Will starting too soon after being sick jeopardise the recovery? Rob Hiya In my opinion its best to just rest.No point in flogging a sick horse. If you sick you sick.
IdeJongh Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Guys, What's the advice when just getting over a cold. Should we wait it out until completely clear or start light indoor work? Will starting too soon after being sick jeopardise the recovery? Rob Neck and up, light exercise still ok. Below the neck.....rest up totally before getting back into it. Here breaking the body down with exercise reduces recovery time and puts you at risk for other complications. Just recovered from a cold, viral so nothing I could do but trying to manage the symptoms to limit the chance for secondary infections. Corenza C, vitamins, tea, sleep.
Uni Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Neck and up, light exercise still ok. I followed this 2 weeks ago with a cold, went for a ride, 2 weeks later I'm worse off. Have a whole bunch of secondary infections now. My GP says no. Rest till 100%
IdeJongh Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I followed this 2 weeks ago with a cold, went for a ride, 2 weeks later I'm worse off. Have a whole bunch of secondary infections now. My GP says no. Rest till 100% A cold normally causes body aches as well, that's not neck and up. What that normally refers to is sinus infections, I've done many a ride with a bad sinus infection, recovered quicker as a result. But I try and stay logical, if in doubt, rest up and recover.
Rob K Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Offcourse you guys are100% right. One always just hopes for that elusive piece of advice we know is never coming? It's also hard to decide when you actually clear. Rob
