I've woken up with a headcold and flu today. So I'm searching the forums for some helpful advice. I did 2 lots of circuit training today, one with a group of women and the other was day 8 of the 30DS. While I was exercising, the symptoms seem to go away, but they come back within two hours after I stop. Any suggestions to help it would be great.

btw - I am already drinking heaps of water. Having at least 8 glasses a day. Feel free to check out my diary too, if that helps.

    Go to the pharmacy! They have loads of very effective meds there to help your symptoms. Ask the pharmacist what they recommend for your symptoms. It's best if you can get a medication that is specific for your symptoms, instead of a catch-all does everything medication. You really only want to treat symptoms that you actually have. Also make sure to tell the pharmacist if you have any other medical conditions (high blood pressure, etc) as some cold medications can often make these other conditions worse.

    If you're very congested, generic Afrin is effective- just don't use it more than 3 days as it can have a "rebound" effect and actually CAUSE congestion. Weird, huh?

    Would it be bad if I kept up the 30DS?

    Emergen-C

    it's a packet of 1000mg vitamin C to dissolve in water

    there are different flavors but the Immune Defense {RubyLemon&Honey} has added Zinc....great for 'the sickies'

    feel better soon
