Good afternoon, everyone...
Yesterday I had what you might call a "flashback". Since I returned from my weekend runaway to Porto, to be with some friends, I started to feel fatigue, and with intense muscular soreness.
I thought that a good relaxing shower and a good night sleep could solve it... but unfortunately, it didn't.
In fact, the muscular soreness got together with some low intensity fever and mind fogness... Since I've worked in the morning shift on Monday, I still thought that if I took some anti piretic and relax a little bit in a dark room, could help it...
But once again, even the good names couldn't helped... and I had to cancel out my presence in a very important dinner.
No, it was not a dinner with a girl, or even a business mam... but a good by dinner for two good friends that are moving out of Lisbon.
Since I didn't went for the dinner with them, I've decided to go to bed a little earlier that night.
On Tuesday morning, adding to the muscular soreness, fatigue, headache, and low intensity fever, the soar throat appeared! OMG!
Random thoughts about times that I thought that were buried appeared ahead of me!
Went to work... dragged my self around the entire shift, counting the hours to leave...
When I got home, and since I was almost sure that I would have to fail the birthday celebration of a friend, I just passed by the Pharmacy and bought a auto Covid test. And surprisingly I tested negative...
Well, the thing is, no matter what the result came out, the decision of maintaining physically appart to protect others, was paramount.
On the other hand, having this f***** virus to mess with me, made the stay more focused in what really matters, even that the good things that I had planned for Monday and Tuesday were screwed!
Well, I don't know if this is A flu, or another stupid virus, but the results on the gym that I have been recording daily for the last 3 months are about to be gone by a fifth for sure. Bummer!
Thank you for reading this piece of writen rant for a old baldy guy!
Stay safe!

Get better soon, Óscar! 🙏
Thank you, Oleg! ...and sorry for such a long rant themed post 😅
No need to apologise, it was good to get an update from you. Please let me know next time you're visiting Porto and Angela and I will be happy to see you! 🤗 (we were away from Portugal last weekend though 😅)
Sorry for not saying that I was passing the weekend in Porto, more precisely Lavra, but you know how it is when you are visiting a big group of friends with their children... It's is like a mini event! Ahahah
I hope that you both had a great week too :)
Hopefully you feel better now!
One of the most important things to do is keep some supplies on hand for these things.
Vitamin D
Vitamin C
Zinc
Fresh, raw garlic
Keep consuming that stuff every day, multiple times a day for C and garlic and you’ll kick it to the curb in no time! Plus those supplies are SO cheap you can easily get them.
Yes!
Today, I can say that I'm practically almost 99%!
I have 1 gram of Vitamin C per day. Vitamin D, I have to take it, since I have deficit on the bloodstream... So I take 10 drops per day of Vigantol, garlic I have a lot on the meals that I cook at home, but not on the fresh presentation... I have to change that!
Zinc, I had couple of months ago. I try to cycle them with Magnesium. One month Zn, another Mg... I don't know if I'm doing it right... LMAO.
I remember one homemade "medicine" that my grandmother used to make when I was a kid. Syrup of carrot and sugar! Memories... Hmm.... And also puting my head over a fresh picked Eucalyptus leaves on a boiling water pan, with a towel over my head... Ahaha
Thank you so much for your advises, @cmplxty !
Have a great week, my friend!
Ah eucalyptus is wonderful for these things, though it’s more effective for coughs it certainly helps for any type of colds!
Yeah with vitamin D you should take it with magnesium, I’ve learned. The way it’s processed in the body, it’s best because it increases uptake of calcium and magnesium offsets that. Health professionals recommend the combo of vitamin D, K-2, With magnesium and calcium if you can do it. The way vitamin D is absorbed into the body best, it’s with those as a combo.
I love the old world remedies because they were really smart on most of them. I wouldn’t say sugar as something beneficial for illness but definitely carrots.
Glad you’re feeling better!
Next time don't be a p***y, swallow an nsaid, and come have dinner! :P As melhoras! !BEER
Cheira-me que amanhã já consiga ir ao ginásio e pegar devagarinho... Está deu-me com força
Força nisso moço!
...a pouco e pouco já me sinto mais "eu"! Obrigado, moço!
É esse o espírito! ;)
Neste caso é bom voltar para o que eu era! Ahah
