The worst stomach virus = probably no grappling for the rest of the week

[mattmania843]

I was throwing up for 3 hours this mounring, and i had nonstop dirreah. IT seems like i come down with one thing or another every week, i just started tryiong to go 5 times a week if not 4 if not 3 to jiu jitsu, but mainly 4 or 5. Am i so much more succeptible being there? I mean the mats are cleaned everynight and its a great place but damn.

I had a stomach virus around this time the last two years. Just rest up and get back when you can.

there is some research that says that heavy excersie makes you more succeptible to bugs and stuff

I had one last year that damn near kept me in the bathroom. I remember my stomache was so fucked up that I had to take a crap before i left for the doctors office, when I got there, before I left the office, when I got home, and every other 20 minutes afterwards for 3 days. I thought my ass was gonna fall off. You have my sympathy.

Yeah, I think a little excercise is good for the immune system, but excessive/heavy excercise makes it weaker. However, I'm not a doctor/scientist so don't take ANY of this as gospel...it's just something I think I read somewhere. Some of the guys you roll with may be sick at the time. In addition, I think I read on a medical website that someone is at his/her most contagious point a couple days before they even show any symptoms of being sick and when your in close-quarters like that, you're bound to pick up some nasty bugs.

Like I said, I'm not a doctor though, so I have no idea if any of that is true.

Too much exercise breaks your imune system down a bit , but just rest more or sleep @ work like me. Maybee u need to take a massive shit
