I've been sick for what seems like 2 weeks, and I don't seem to be feeling any better. I've had a constant low fever, clogged sinuses, constant fatigue, and morning headaches. I've been doing the Benadryl/Advil/water treatment but things just don't seem to be getting any better!

Whatever this cold/flu/bug is, it's not fun. If you know/see anyone who has it STAY AWAY!! 3 people in my house have had it so far and it has taken everyone a really long time to get over.

This is the time of year when I double up on my methyl-B12 dosage to prevent this type of sh*t.

same thing here! me, my brother, and my dad all have/had it for like 2 weeks..

I have a headache every morning, mild sore throat every night, and congestion damn near all the time.. sucks so bad.

[Rumpnuts]

yep, met too... gave it to the girlfriend too, only she isn't handleing it as well and is way more sick than I ever got.

Get on the apple cider vinegar. It kills EVERYTHING!

[brandoppsx]

Yeah, whatever the hell it is it hit me hard...over and over again...and what makes it the worst of all is the fact that I WORK IN A HOSPITAL! -_-..... But it's been bouncing me back and forth like crazy...two weeks I feel like crap, one week I feel fine...rinse...repeat....

Don't know where u guys are located but i'm here in CT and I just got sick, caught it from a friend and now we're all sick, me, my bro and my friend and his g/f. It really sucks having your sinuses congested, nose running, headache, and aching muscles. Of course this has to happen during finals! I can't concentrate on studying when I have to blow my nose every 2 secs.

I had it for about a day and a half last week.

Now, I am not just a bodybuilder, but also a general health nut, and I don't preach, but I will tell you the supps/food I was using to get over it fast:

vitamin C (I take daily anyhow....bump up to 500mg at least 10 times a day when I feel sick)
selenium (50mcg twice daily)
COQ10 (60mg 3x daily)
fresh minced garlic (teaspoon w/every meal)
ACV (great idea...as someone suggested...mixed 50/50 w/ginger ale, I sip a glass of it throughout the day and gargle w/pure ACV)
astragalus (500mg twice daily)
elderberry (650mg twice daily)
reishi mushroom powder (1g twice daily)

And only at the initial onset of symptoms, I take 1/2 tsp of glycerin-based echinacea extract every few hours.

....that's basically it. What I am going for is a fairly cost-effective and proven bunch of things to fight sickness. I don't buy questionable "fad" supps and whatnot.

My wife got sick a couple weeks back and I got it the next night. We are both fighting it but I just can't seem to get rid of it. I think it is finally starting to clear up but I usually never get sick and if I do it's never as long as this time was.

[virileman44]

i got it too. missed work last friday.

[dsade]

Gut Health,. NOxidant and plenty of multivitamins has kept me right as the mail.

Sounds like the Adenovirus I had a month or so back. Low grade fever that gets worse at night and just a long, drawn out crappy cold.

I think my tonsils are shot because I have been sick a record 6 times since November which is unheard of for me. Supplements pull me out of it each time but then a few weeks later, I get knocked down again. Sucks.
