I always get Test Flu!!! WTF?

[fatsuperman]

I rarely get the flu or the cold, normally!

But, Irregardless of whether I've had a flu shot or not. Nearly every time I do test, come week 4 or 5 of the cycle I will come down with some BS, Flu like crap.

It really irritates me because I can't work out for days, (typically 5 days) and I feel like my cycle is blown!!!!

Obviously my immunity gets screwed up and my little kids bring home every thing from school. Does anyone have any advice for this. No crazy punk kid advice, realistic stuff?

Benadryl.

I just sip a little children's benadryl every morning. I think if you search you'll find it works for others.

Obviously it's not a case of influenza, it's a systemic response to the drug(s) your taking. Anti-histamines seem to prevent it.

If you look through older logs, you'll see that people used to supplement with extra vitamin C. The drug(s) people take plus the stress on the body from more intense workouts take a toll on the body.

I'm no doctor, just sharing what I've read circa 2004 and before.
