So I've been sick for the past week with some unknown illness that I can't seem to shake. It started off with extreme exhaustion and a sore throat on Monday, and has since then progressed to excessive sleepiness/overall weakness, to a brief and (pump fake) recovery on Wednesday and Thursday, to a congested head cold/possible upper respiratory infection through the weekend. I woke up from a nap this afternoon and my ears were throbbing they hurt so bad! I'm hoping this is the last final punch before this cold finally leaves me alone.
I've been doping up on 1,000 mg vitamin C pills and Walgreens Severe Cold Medicine to try and fight through this on my own. I really don't believe in going to the doctor unless it's absolutely necessary, in order to prevent my body from becoming resistant to antibiotics. I believe that trying to fight through certain illnesses can help your body grow stronger. Of course, I'm no doctor so I have no proof of this, but I'd like to believe it's true. We live in an over-medicated society, so I try to use medicine only when necessary.
I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow so I can start working out again!
