OK firstly I'm brai fogged to hell so pardon me if this jumps around.
I have been feeling really good for the past 3~4 weeks, putting that down to a combination of mushrooms, mitoq, a beta blocker and probably some placebo effects or just plain good luck.
Yes, I increased exercise, I really want to exercise and I honestly feel it helps me, especially in the short term.
I found taking an panadol (paracetamol 500mg) really really helped with how hot I got and my post exertion headaches vanished. Taking panadol after did nothing, so I took 1 hr before,
However (you knew this was coming didn't you?)
Suddenly, very suddenly, I did too much in one day, I developed slightly swollen but very sore glands under jaw and side of neck,
back of throat is red,
producing yellow phlegm,
night time temp up 1.6 degrees (celcius) ,
Heart rate up, Hrv down (8ms rmssd)
mild headaches
Snuffly nose
and it feels like someone is driving molten metal through my bones.
If this happened 5 years ago I would have said, yep I have caught a bad flu.
But it's weird my symptoms are mainly at night, right now it 4.30 in the afternoon and OK I'm not wonderful but I feel a lot better than I will tonight.
This isn't the first time this has happened, it happened about 6 months ago, and a couple of times last year. But literally for 3~4 days
How do I tell if this is an epstein barr reactivation?
Is that useful to know?
Is there something I can do ( I'm just resting and drinking fluids)
There's definitely a change in my symptoms and I'm thinking if the virus has come out of hiding can I hit it with a hammer? I'm kidding about the hammer, I'd use something much bigger than that
