I hate allergies!

[Deciever]

i dunno if its just me, but it seems im getting my allergies earlier than usual, and a bit worse... today was hell for me. had glazed over eyes, teary eyes, tired as hell, the shivers, runny nose...etc

i tried to trian today but when ever i get sick only my bench seems to drop .. i only got 175 x 2, and couldnt really push myself..

in sldl, i got 255 x 4 with a slightly rounded back with no belt or anything (im going to be feeling those tomorrow)

what medicines are good that i can take.. i heard sudafed and benedryl, but im not sure, i've never had allergies that lasted more than a few hours at a time!

Allegra works good,but you need a script from the doc though.

None of the over the counter stuff worked for me.My allergies are seasonal and can last for a couple of months or more.

I took allegra and hated it. I think it gave me more headaches than anything ever has. I find that tylenol allergy/sinus helps me. Right now I have the flu or a cold or allegeries actin up. I know i'm allergic to ALOT of things since birth but I just don't know what and last week my bro had the flu and I think he gave it too me and it doesn't help either that half my fuckin school is sick, soo for about another 3 days or more I'm gonna be restin my ass off. Man I have a meet in JUNE and I just had one saturday it's better to take a week off of lifting then lift while your sick b/c it could lead to overtraining and you'll be sick longer. Just think of it as a rest period.

yeah ,i took today off, just sat at home, drank a bunch of water.. i had claritin in my house so i just took one of those.. turns out i have a mild fever (101-102 maybe).. this sucks.. i was almost done with my bench cycle too

YEA it does suck and trust me I'm in the same position as you my fever reached 101.6 last night and I've dropped 4lbs since sunday I know this b/c at the meet I weighed in friday at 176 and of course gained weight after but today I weighed 172lbs not a good thing since I'm trying to gain weight. Either way just take more fluids than normal force yourself to eat, I should talk b/c I can't eat and I know ginger ale is good when your sick just don't overdo it like drink one every hour or anything and rest. On monday I went to sleep at 5 p.m. and woke up at 6 a.m. for school that's a record for me 13 hours of sleep. yesterday I went to sleep at 7 p.m. and woke up today again at 6 a.m. for school and slept in two classes our classes are 100 minutes long and tonight I plan on going to sleep soon and maybe not even going to school tomm depends on how I feel in the mornin.

yesterday i felt so bad, fell asleep in 4 of my classes, really weak (i only benched 175 x 2) i hope i feel better soon

 

[Cubanito17]

My body feels week but since I had that meet saturday the guys said they normally take off a week before the meet and after. So i'll get back to my training monday if I feel better. If I don't then I'll force myself to train just not go so heavy do everything light and hope that on thursday my ME bench day I feel better to go all out heavy. I'm going to be doing all my ME lifts week 1&2 a 2 board press weeks 3&4 3 board press weeks 4&5 4 board press then week6 I'll do another max at 2 board press and see where I stand for that meet in JUNE if I do it up in Daytona. This one is gonna be a lil different it's a whole new fed. and it's a 3 lift not just a push/pull meet. I like those better I'm not to fond of squatting don't know why.

To be honest nothing has ever helped me. I have tried everything over the counter and prescribed. I don't know what else to do but just try to live with it!!! If worse comes to worse, go to the doc!!!

 

[Deciever]

yeah all of this sucks! i had 3 days left on my bench program, i missed one yesterday cause i didnt feel good, i stayed home from school today soi probably wont lift..

YUP I'M VISITIN THE OL DOC TOMM the thing that sucks is I can't understand a DAMN thing this guy tells me when he talks the reason is( I swear about this) he really is a french guy from france but He's BLACK. now I don't have a problem with french people or blacks but when u put them together you got a slang talkin frenchie which no one understands. I swear this dude repeats himself then thinks about what the fuck he just said. So I always go with mom or pops to see if they can understand the parts that I didn't catch.
