Still feeling like a truck ran me over. Yesterday, my left nostril ran like a leaky faucet, and I coughed and sneezed all day. At least this morning, the left nostril has stopped leaking, but the right one seems to have taken up the banner.
I wasn't really hungry at all, but I did want comfort food. I had bought some high protein spaghetti a while back, and decided to make a carbonara sauce the traditional way. It came out good, but I was done after 5 bites.
Even after a nap in the afternoon, I was in bed by 9 PM last night, so of course, I was wide awake at 3 AM. Ugh. I may crawl back into bed in a while.
For some reason, on the rare occasions that I get sick, the one thing that really makes me feel better is always sparkling mineral water. I went through 2 liters of it yesterday, and will probably do the same today. At least I have today and tomorrow off work, and possibly won't have to go in until Friday. So, ample time to get over this crud.
I hope your week goes better than mine!

Dear Mskestrela: Do you mind if I let you inspire me? While I've been off in the land of stress-eating and weight-gaining you've been busy sticking to plan and remodeling yourself. It's wonderful to see what you have accomplished and how great you look! Back to work for me, but thank you for making yourself proud and holding up a shining beacon for this struggling recidivist. And P.S. - get well soon!

So sorry you feel so rough, Kes. I get the flu jab every year. I know some people don't agree with them but I seemed very susceptible to picking up every bug going until I started having them. Now, I rarely even get a cold. My mum was the same. One of my friends, who also noticed the same difference, wondered if somehow the jab boosted the immune system. Never read anything about that but it does make you wonder.

Thanks, everyone. The mineral water cure seems to be working. Only a few sneezes today, much less coughing, and the nose drips finally dried up. I've been taking it very easy today, watching historical documentaries and drinking glass after glass of mineral water. I'm wondering if my recent bowel flush from the MCT oil has anything to do with getting this bug. I mean, we know that a healthy gut biome is essential to a healthy immune system. I'm thinking I might have flushed the whole biome right out! Time to take some probiotics, methinks!

I hope you feel better soon. Have you used ginger extract/lemon juice/ honey mixture? It works well for me and/or anyone of my family in times like these.
