I thought I ate something wrong, but I’ve been sick for more than 3 days now. Sneezing, nose completely blocked, coughing, vomiting, terrible sleep, muscle pain, stomachache and sharp headaches.

It seems like my partner also got infected, because they started sneezing a day later.

But I don’t even really mind all this physical pain and discomfort. The thing that bothers me the most is that I’m completely useless. Unable to think properly apart from a few moments during the day. Sometimes even unable to talk or properly understand my partner.

I can’t even read or play a game or something because it quickly gives me a painful headache, and I don’t enjoy anything at the moment anyway.

Anyone have some strategies to cope with this? Seems to happen frequently when I get sick and I don’t really know how to deal with it. And it seems like it also drags on quite long because I forget to eat enough, I don’t seem to have enough energy to take care of myself (brushing, showering)

    I tend to eat muesli, yoghurt, banana and sugar mixed together when I’m ill, it gets the job done.

      During the past year, my favorite food has become greek yoghurt with cruesli (and sometimes jam or honey). It’s so easy to prepare and (I feel) still relatively healthy.
