I have strep throat - my throat is on fire and I sound like a seal when I cough. I don't want to eat anything at all. I have been living on low sodium chicken broth and V8 juice for two days now. Interestingly, I've gained a pound! I'm guessing from sodium, or from my metabolism getting screwy? I don't know, but I am sick and frustrated, and don't know how to get through this healthfully. Because all I reeeeeally want is ice cream - but I am resisting.
I actually went to the gym yesterday to see if that would help any, but I barely made it through weight lifting, and then I tried the treadmill and immediately began hacking and decided to clean the machine and leave before I was asked to! I feel even worse today, and I know I can't go today.
How do you guys deal with this?
