How do you train when you're put down due to the above? Right now I either have a nasty cold, the flu (this early?), or the West Nile Virus. Without the aid of nyquile(sp?) I would be down and out, yet I am down and out.
I went out shooting this morning, and didn't do so well. Between the wiping of the nose, the trip to the "back woods", and the watering eyes, I just had a miserable morning. Came home, took some medicine, and now feeling better but "strange".
Now, as I sit here, I'm starting to think about how this affects me. Some background, cough medications affect me more then any other medications, really makes my head spin, get more lethargic, and I really could save a lot of money on alcohol if I just wanted to get "drunk" by taking a dose of medicine.
So of course I don't drive if I take but then it comes around to guns and self preservation if the need arises. Cough medications, when taken, I don't do anything (and I really shouldn't be at the computer right now). It's like an illegal drug, the affects, with me (never taken anything by MJ in my youth, but just using this analogy right now due to what I've read).
So, what does one do or think in such a situation? When I was on steroids for the muscle degeneration (and just came off of, have to wait a couple of months to go back on due to the side effects of) I had the same problem at the beginning but when one has a cold, flu, or maybe West Nile, the use of is something that needs to be done in order to quit wasting boxes of tissue for the nose and to stop feeling so badly.
Do we put aside our protection or do we leave it be if needed and just get over the side effects of the medications?
