Do you guys still ride when sick?

[Possegal]

Oakleaf - I have that problem too. I blame it on my asthma. When I'm a good girl and taking my meds regularly, that doesn't happen. I had a dr tell me that there was no way that had any impact. I told her I was an N of 1 in my own research project, and I believe my data. * I have years of data! Any time I'm not on the singulair and advair when I get a cold, it goes to my chest and then takes about 1-2 months to go away. And there is no way I can workout when I'm coughing constantly. It is a hideous time, and I had it last year and it took me out for all of February and part of March. Not fun! Because of the fear of it going to my chest though, I don't workout when I've got a headcold. Not worth the risk of being down and out for weeks. (just in case my research study is flawed)

*I'm a research scientist, and a dr of pharmacology, so I tend to believe my data.

I pretty much am the same way. I also have mild asthma, not on any regular meds because I have been pretty much symptom free for years, except when I get sick. I just do not get a "cold." It always ends up in my chest. I've had years of being sick from November to February, even in AZ. Then miraculously, when I stopped teaching this stopped. Except for last March, when I was subbing and all the kids had some horrible virus/flu. After I had been working about a month, I thought I had been lucky enough to beat it, but I got horribly sick with a 102 temp., a real cold, and wheezing. I had to miss 2 days of work and they had to get a sub for the sub.
I'm certainly still around people, but just not lots of snotty nosed teens!

My head cold was considerably worse today. I had to take the day off from work and hang out semi comatose, coughing & wheezing. Yeah, it's gone into my chest. Crud.

I honestly don't know if the short easy rides I did on Saturday & Sunday made any difference (the ride I did on Sunday was a lot shorter than I originally planned).

But in the interests of full disclosure I thought I'd let ya's know.

Feel better soon!

[jobob]

How about you - are you feeling better, I hope?

[Fujichants]

Nope, still sick

It's been in my chest area since day 1 and I just can't seem to get rid of it!

But I know I have to take it easy, because i've had it develop into a sinus infection/tonsilitis/bronchitis/pneumonia (not all at the same time!) before.

Jobob and Fuji - sorry to hear you are both still under the weather, but since misery loves company, I figured I'd let you know that I am calling the doctor today - I think my cold has turned into bronchitis. Of course, I have no one to blame but myself for this...

Hope everyone feels better soon.
