...Back on the first day of April, I wake up with a raw throat that turns into a little cough as the day goes on. By day 2, I'm constantly coughing and call my Dr, but she can't get me in for a couple of days. By the end of that day,I make the mistake of going to an urgent care where the Dr there said it was viral and prescribed Prednisone and cough syrup, both of which didn't do shit. I get to the real Dr and she put me on antibiotics, but that cough went on full bore for the next 2 weeks. It was so bad, the longest uninterrupted stretch of sleep I had in that time was 4 hours one night, and then I would hack so bad while eating I quit halfway through every meal. I slept on the living room recliner because lying flat was impossible. By week 3, the cough was still there but subsiding and went away mid way through week 4. I went from 252 at the end of March to 235 at the beginning of May because I didn't workout, or juice, or eat much, or sleep for a month. Thanks to D-Red's test C at 500 mg/week, I'm back to 240 and my strength is now finally returning. I have never been that sick in my 52 years and have never missed a month of working out...in 30 years. That tugged hard on the suck meter.
 
Yeah...kinda curious to the diagnosis. At least your back at it though. I'm just over a case od salmonella.....lost about 10lbs....strength and staminia is way down. The only good thing....I lost alot of water weight.
 
Did they diagnose what it was or just some fucked virus?
I never learned what it was other than "something going around." I did end up with a secondary bacterial infection which is why my doc put me on the antibiotics but the virus was what held on for so long.
 
Oh that really sucks and good to see that D's gear helped you immensely.
