That was me Saturday. I woke up yesterday feeling terrific. Got up and puttered at some chores and went to the gym to work out like we do every Saturday (well, almost every Saturday – we’re not saints).
I had an excellent workout at the gym and did 4 miles on the treadmill plus nautilus. It felt like the upcoming week held some promise for making significant progress on this:
Somewhere around 8:00 pm, knitting on this:
This morning I’m running a fever and feel worse than I did last week.
Oh, and filed under “Things that would have been good to know yesterday”
Mr. CPA told me this morning that per his doctor, breaking a sweat when you have a virus can cause the virus to rebound. Has anybody else heard that? Not that it helps now but it could be useful for future reference.
Any other time would be bad enough, but I have less than 5 days to shake this off because on Friday morning I fly out to San Diego for the TNNA Winter Trade Show . I have to spend weekend manning a booth and I absolutely, positively cannot not be sick for this.
I'm ready to consider almost anything. Please send me your best tips for treating a bad virus so I don't have to resort to wearing the onion necklace!

Yeah that same bug kicked my ass too. I wish I could give you the miracle cure but it's just rest and stay well-hydrated. Feel better soon.
1. Go to the doctor! If you have the flu, there is a window where you can take meds to shorten the sick time. And you can get fabulous drugs for the symptoms that are codeine-based which don't make you really feel any better but you sort of don't care anymore...
2. Sleep until Friday. Then sleep on the plane.
Good luck!!! I hope you feel better soon.
Tea with honey and lemon, rent lots of movies, curl up on the couch till you feel better.
rest rest rest! no more exercizing for you missy!
Lots of vitamin C, lots of liquid. Some echinacea, within reason. Lots of bed. Rest. No exercise. No knitting. Nothing but lackluster reading that you'll never remember. Hot showers.
I am still fighting off the mutated crud that the professor brought home, unless I got it from your blog. This is serious crud here. Uck. Feel better soon and good luck at TNNA!
