Conditioning Extreme Fatigue

[Trabaho]

Do you ever get this ? So I got sick last monday evening. Had fever till the weekend. Cough. Than on thuesday got a call from a friend to help him carry wood. I'm in Herzegovina now. Only ate a burek which is a meat pastry and had 1.5 liter water. Carried logs for 5 hours straight, ran out of water the last 2 hours. Smoked cigarettes. As we leave I felt sick. At home couldn't really eat. Just the veggies and some potatoe. Could not get any chicken down. Felt better when I ate some candy. Just layed down. Next day I'm still exhausted, went out of town to see a movie. Just sitting got me sick and tired. Today feeling better but not recovered. Wtf is this. Why am I so tired. Usually I don't really get sick. Post fever the work destroyed me. Anyone else experienced this ever ? Might try to hit the bag a bit today. Feeling unmotivated to do anything. Came here on New Years. Also at first kind of slugish sickish. Then started working out everyday. Looking forward to it. Felt good, motivated. Now kind of desperate. I def won't shower and go out again that's how I got sick. Trained last monday with the headache and got a fever. Zaped my motivation. Like why did my immmune system and energy crash. Usually I never get fevers. I also had been taking paracetamol for 4-5 days for the fever. If I can't train I feel useless. After training I always have more energy. After the wood work I was so tired and exhausted. Even sitting was hard. Just wanted to share and see if you experienced anything like this. Am feeling better today but still not good energy. I hope I get fit quick and can do daily workouts. Small city life also kind of bores me.

It could be food poisoning. As much as I love all this type of food, I don't eat it often and the greasiness of it makes me sick. I don't know exactly how you make your Chebureki but if it's like the ones made in the former Soviet republics/Poland then it's too greasy for me. I'm popping calcium tabs afterwards for indigestion and suffering through it.

It could be flu/cold. There are several strains of flus and colds going around. Your immune system is probably more adjusted for the area where you spend most of your time.

It could be heat exhaustion(lack of hydration). You said you carried logs for 5 hours? That's quite a strenuous activity. It's possible 1.5 L of water just wasn't enough for such level of exertion.

Eat some chicken/beef broth. Drink lots of water. Continue taking acetaminophen as you have been.

I am a big proponent of high dose melatonin(so I'd take at a minimum 50-100mg per day- --I have taken upwards of 2-3g which seemed to do the trick in a day or so) to treat URI but since you're not a fan and it may be restricted/prohibited in your country anyway then disregard.

Take Airborne supplement if you can get it in your city. Or you can also just take separate vitamins and supplements like Vit D(10-20k IU), vit C(3-5g), zinc picolinate/gluconate(15-25mg), white willow bark, elderberry extract, etc .

If this persists, then go get bloodwork done to see if you're deficient in anything (vit D, iron, B vitamins etc) and speak to a doctor. Some people got chronic fatigue symptoms after covid but I highly doubt that you got that since it onset so quickly.

Anyways feel better.

Sounds like you simply got sick, then overdid it too early, got sick again. It happens - we probably all have our stories about that, I know I do. Just take it easy for a while and take your time to heal up.
As for what you caught - could be anything, really. From the top of my head: the new and improved flu subvariant k, the current Covid strain, a systemic staph infection... All of these can cause long-lasting fatigue. A number of people I know who claim to "never get sick" had the flu over Christmas, and it hit some of them pretty hard. I had it too, but for me it was more like a cold. Though in early January, I did feel pretty fatigued... but I wrote it off on skipping cardio for a month and huge amounts of stress at work.

Weird how when the fever went away, I waited 3 days on the 4th helped the friend, massive overload 5 hours heavy work and dehydrated on little food. I didn't get sick again but totally fatigued. Never had this. Complete fatigue. I think tomorrow I can do a workout. Worst is it got me depressed. I legit love training and the fatigue is so weird I don't even feel like sitting at a cafee or anything. Like a small downward spiral. Weird never had pure tiredness as syndrom.
Im Bosnia I also smoke a lot. In Germany I buy 2 cigs, like 8 a day. Here ir's almost a pack. And it disgusts me entirely. Smoking is so trash should be abandoned, tobacco production. Totally useless plant.

You're also poisoning yourself with cigarettes. It's not helping you that's for sure. You know what it does to your lungs and other organs.

Try taking NAC supplement. It helps with addictive behaviors. It's also very good for asthma/allergies. 1-2g per day.

Some biohackers do use small amounts of nicotine (patches, etc) which some use to counter symptoms of fatigue /long covid but I am not completely sold on it.

I highly recommend trying methylene blue for energy. You can buy pill form 20mg per pill for 10$ on Amazon(at least here in the States).

Cigarettes are trash. Only smoking them to avoid withdrawl and cravings.

Edit ; I didn't smoke the first 30 years of my life. So what is stopping me

I think I suddenly feel normal. I'll update tomorrow if workout worked. I am sure it will.

I just trained and energy is at 1/3. Could do little but don't feel sick. Just energy less. But hey an improvement.
