I'm about 3 days into a cold and I'm waiting to see if it's going to develop into a chest infection, I REALLY hope it doesn't, they suck so bad..
I've gone wayyy off track. You'd think the fact that I can't taste much of anything would stop me from gorging on fatty foods, but no, haha. Actually I think I'm using the cold as an excuse to eat more. I haven't been able to exercise properly either because I'm wheezing like a MF. I just cannot wait to get back to normal.. I hear high doses of Vitamin C is good for helping reduce the length of a cold, though it's disputed.. Maybe worth a look into though? Zinc is good for the immune system too
Anyways, as someone said above, don't be too hard on yourself, chest infections are horrible, it's no wonder you're struggling. Take some time out to get better and get back on it!
