sick of being SICK?!

[taurushead]

AAAAAAAAAaaa.
i want to run, walk, lift. ive had this chest thing for like...3 weeks now. or something crazy like that. someone's advice re: exercise and illness on here was to just guess whether you felt up to it. my chest doesn't, it goes all icy and coughy and achy when i even walk to the shops but my LEGS and arms do.
any advice on what i can do? couldn't sleep last night (its like 5am now) coz i just hadn't MOVED all day .
rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Have you been to a doc? - three weeks is a long time to have a chest thing. You don't want to get broncitis or something worse...

Try stretching and yoga to get the blood flowing in your extremities - it may help you sleep.

:hug: poor thing!

oo! i didn't even think of yoga! great idea! its just driving me nuts. because i no longer have the f everish bit, my limbs dont ache. they want to move. its just that my chest hurts even when im still. when i move its a gazillion times worse plus its hard to breathe when you're coughing that hard. GRRR. i have loads of time coz im on holidays. i could be running. i could be doing aerobics. having fun. getting fit. but NO. (sorry. in whiney mode here) and i miss that exhausted feeling.
haven't been to doctor because i feel like a hypochondriac. been there lots lately!

I've been not able to excersize for about 3 weeks as well. I sprained my ankle in a car accident and my back, neck, and body was sore from the accident for a week or two. Right after I felt up to excersizing again, I got SICK for another week.

Uh... I know how you feel.

have you thought about whether you could be one? you do seem overly concerned about your body.

rainbow- that sucks!!! i hope you feel better asap!!

pixelle- yeah. finally went to the doctor though :) so proud. got bloods done and everything. my iron and what not are great!! really didn't expect that. but the platelets (is there such a thing? im bad with remembering what doctors say..) or something say that something is awry. sigh. so ive had a whole bunch more tests because they want to know what it is.
still haven't really excersised. but my body has stopped craving it. i used to get antsy sitting still. now i sit for entire days, then walk for like 5 mins and am worn out. so unfit.
just a MONTH ago i was a turbo! less than previously but still boxing and stuff. its terrible..
oh well..
at least hte panic over it has stopped. im totally ok with sitting around in the warm indoors now. meant to walk into the city just before but..well. didn't. i hope its not doing me long term damage is all. i was quite proud of where i was at. i haven't gained weight but itwas never about weight.
