On Tuesday when I found out I had strep, I still felt relatively OK. I was getting out of the house a bit, although I felt pretty tired and slow. I skipped my night at the gym and was taking it easy, but I thought I'd be back at work the next day.
Then came Wednesday and the Flu.
Yep. I couldn't just get strep. Folks - if this is the flu bug going around for this year, take precautions now! I get my annual flu shot, but I hadn't even had a chance to get it yet! They just came out with it a week ago or so. I may still go get one, since there are more than one strain, and I don't want to get hit again.
Today I'm feeling better, but still extremely run down. I was able to get myself showered and dressed, which was a big step up from yesterday. I took the kids into school and tried not to touch anything. Usually it's the kids getting me sick, but this time I'm the first one to come down with this. Which of course means we're likely in for a month or more of virus-spread in this house.
Or maybe not. Maybe I'm the only one with this crappy immune system that can't seem to fight off a single bacteria that comes within a mile of me. I eat more than 5 serving of fruits and veggies every day. I take vitamins. I even exercise, which is complete torture for me. Have you tried acai juice yet? It's the new "super-food" that's supposed to be 10x's more powerful than pomegranate for fighting disease. I drink that too. Yet if there's a single flu bug in a room of 1000 people, I'm the one who is going to get sick.
Any more suggestions?
