I've been ravaged by he most unholy viral infection for the past 6 days.

Fever, night sweats, unrelenting cough, and a complete cessation of appetite.

I'm a reasonably fit and healthy person and gym 3x a week and have a good diet. I have not been able to get out of my bed for this period and I have not had a single solid meal for 5 days.

Pain...

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Get well

 

[Pakoe]

Get well soon, it sucks but youll get over and be in the gym in no time

 

[Trilobit]

Listen to the dialogue in Dragon Age: Veilguard and what you're going through won't feel as bad anymore.

Get well! <3

 

[Trunx81]

When you start to think about the last time you´ve felt well, that´s when it hits you the hardest.

Get well soon!

 

[MilkyJoe]

I think being slowly lowered into a wood chipper might smart a little more...

I haven't been sick since my last encounter with Covid over three years ago. Then I made the mistake of bragging about it up at work, and was immediately struck down with bronchitis a week ago.

Yeah, it sucks. I tried to tough it out but finally relented and went to a walk-in.

I've had COVID but it felt like child's play compared to this.

I've had COVID but it felt like child's play compared to this.

Any respiratory issue hits me like a Mack truck. I had pretty bad asthma as a kid, and I'm a smoker (aka retard).
Covid was worse with the flu like stuff, aches and pains, but this bronchitis was way worse in my chest, felt like I was gripped in a vice trying to breath.
Foreshadowing for my emphysema I suspect. I really need to quit smoking.

 

[AJUMP23]

I bet torture feels worse. I reject your premise.

 

[p_xavier]

I had tripped into my staircase and landed on my side with my head into the drywall, knocked out two teeth. My side still hurts much after 8 months. Getting older sucks.

Man flu right ?

 

[ReasonBeing]

Dang that is no fun. I have a viral infection as well; no physical symptoms other than these damn red rings all over my ass and thigh, that they say will take months to go away. It has been an extremely bizarre experience and I'm glad I'm already married. In saying that, I still wouldn't trade places with you, having your ass look like a leopard is preferable to feeling like you're on the verge of death.

 

[Days like these...]

I had shingles a few years ago and didn't miss a day of work.

 

[SJRB]

I stepped on a lego like two months ago.

 

[Darchaos]

Thats life, we get sick sometime, dont understand what diet and training has to do with it. Get well!

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Get well! <3

He forgot to gender the illness.
He needs to do a fucking barv.

Also, may you recover quickly. I wonder what compromised your immune system?

A real man.

 

[Paltheos]

Sorry to hear, man.

I haven't been horribly ill since my first bout with covid, which put me down for a few days and had only a single night of "I've woken up from the sweat/fever - I'll move to the other side of the bed because that's better than changing the sheets again."

I've never had anything for close to a week. Feel better

 

[ReBurn]

Hope you feel better soon

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I thought I knew pain until I recently threw out my back. Never experienced anything like that. Getting old sucks.

Hope you feel better soon.

When I was in my late 20s, a fit 6'5" 200 pounds I once got some awful infection that nearly killed me. A month later I weight 167 pounds. I legit did not eat solid food for that month.

That's awful. I fear I'm going to look anorexic by the time I recover.

I've been averaging 500 calories a day for the past 7 days.

 

[KrakenIPA]

Get well friend, you are always in my thoughts.

 

[Zathalus]

I beg to differ sir. The kidney stone I had last year wants a word.

"Health is an invisible crown you wear that only the unhealthy can see on your head and appreciate."

Get well soon, and get that crown back King.

 

[sono]

Get well soon

There are those poor souls with chronic long term pain so it's relative

Rest and hot drinks and pain killers and tv

 

[Roni]

Sounds like Dengue Fever. Been checking your platelets?

 

[GigaBowser]

i wars in the hospital tonight with trinie i coughs a lot at nights time might bee copd pray my friends

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

On the plus side I feel better today. Was given antibiotics 2 days ago. Nasty lower respiratory tract infection.

Appetite and energy levels are slowly returning. Able to actually work without feeling like complete death.

Antibiotics for a viral infection? Did they run a respiratory panel or somehow collect cultures?

Glad to hear you're starting to feel better, in any case.

Continued fever + crackles on exam.

I think it started as a viral illness followed with a superimposed bacterial infection.

My personal policy is not to take antibiotics unless absolutely necessary - my first course in more than 10 years.

Hopefully everyone at work has already had chicken pox...

 

[mopspear]

Get well brother.

You've obviously never tried to vanquish a rogue coffee table at 2AM using naught but your baby toe.

Make sure to take care of yourself. Try and not push yourself too much and when you find yourself struggling try to do deep steady breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.

 

[ClanOfNone]

I'm going back to the doc after I drop off the girls this morning. I've finished the med regimen they gave me, but I'm still feeling mighty crappy, I want to make sure this is nipped in the bud cause I have to work all weekend.
My advice to young people: don't get old. It takes forever to get over shit.
