I went to the doctor last week regarding my allergies. My insurance was refusing to fill one part of the prescription so I took the nasal spray and went on a century yesterday. By the end of the ride I was having tons of watery drainage and a raw feeling in my throat. By last night my ears had so much pressure I spent much of the time I should have been sleeping crying. By today I was a full blown mess. Left work after 1 hour because my concentration level was 0! Got home and found I had a fever, so I got an appointment with my doctor.

When he said he was hoping I would avoid this full blown sinus infection, I told him I felt fine yesterday and did a 100 mile bike ride. He commented he thinks depleting my already tired body of energy triggered this very nasty sinus infection.

Long story short, I am on antibiotics and really want to be back on the bike soon. Anyway to refuel my exhausted little body quicker? He recommended lots of Tylenol, fluids and rest. I wonder if there are foods to help recharge my immune system or something that will be better than others?
