Thread: Is It The Flu....

or do i feel so exhausted because i went back to induction level program... i have had a rotten cold/cough/lack of energy for over a week... now its getting to the point that i feel like just sitting here is exhausting....i feel awful...

water tastes awful.. am sick of broth... and they didnt have the lo carb splashes at my store in this hick town... i did find sugarless cranberry juice with splenda... but i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly didnt want to go that route...:-(
even my favorite hot tea tastes lousey...

more likely cause i havent had my ACV for two days... the thought of that burning of vinegar in my throat was more than i could bear...:-(

Kim,

It sounds as if you have some kind of virus, so do the usual things, stay well hydrated and see a dr. if if gets worse or doesn't clear up.

Sorry you're feeling so bad, boo. Make sure you get you water in, you need to flush out whatever has invaded your body. Make a soup with these ingredients:
a package of chicken legs or thighs (or a combination)
a can of chicken stock (check for high fructose corn syrup--why some brands include it is a mystery to me!)
veggies--carrots, bok choy, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, snow peas, etc.
just a dash of cayanne (will clear sinuses)
and other seasoning you like

Make a big pot and eat this all day! Keep drinking your tea and add some lemon or lime.

And finally, feel better!

Sorry you are feeling so lousy. I'm in my second induction right now and am experiencing the usual ascent fatigue and general malaise but I don't have any other cold symptoms. Sounds like you may have a combination going on - induction + cold or flu. Hope you feel better soon!

Kim,

i too just got over one -- nastiest sore throat, achy, bad head ache -- and just that run down feeling. my son is on the downward end of it.

seems to last about a week -- so something is going around
(i picked it up in AZ, not at home)
