Question About Being Sick

[Nonerz]

not to "man-bash" or anything, but why are guys typically such babies when they are sick? really, is it something in the testosterone that does it?

I've gotta agree here. I'm a little bitch when I'm sick. Probably just because it threatens my progress in the gym and that gets me depressed, or at least worried. It makes me wonder if its nothing or something thats going to sap my strength and Jeopardize my training for the next week or so.

...wait a minute, I just coughed.....uhoh

its the suppressed production of testosterone, lets the estrogen take over.

i agree thaibox...
becoming sick makes me very angry and depressed. months of hard work seem to disappear with a 1-2 week long illness.

Being in a state of overtraining did cross my mind, but I had the shits and a fever for 9 weeks. I think that overtraining may have allowed me to catch whatever it was that I had, but I've never heard of being overtrained causing a high fever and the shits.
I don't go to the doctor unless I'm on my deathbed, so I don't really know what the fuck I had.

Well it's good to know that I'm not imagining things...maybe it's a lack of control issue for you guys?

I train through sickness...in an intelligent, careful manner.

The times that call for immediate action don't ask you if you're feeling well, nor do they postpone themselves for when you're better. The come whenever they so choose, and you are either able or you are not.

I am able.
