FLU

Another day without training...
I don't usually get sick, it's rare to catch a cold... I've always thought that a good diet and physical activity prevent you from catching viruses and bacteria...
However, I have been feeling slightly unwell for almost a week.
Mild sore throat, headache, some nasal congestion, mild muscle and bone pain, mild fever...
I take an ibuprofen (400mg) and, magically, everything disappears... although it only lasts about 4 hours, then the discomfort returns again without having asked for it...
I should have gone to the doctor a few days ago...but I'm very lazy.

I'm not used to doing it, but just having to ask for an appointment already stresses me out.

I have requested an appointment.

But it hasn't been in person since my private medical insurance only "insured" me an in-person appointment within 2 days...

However, I was offered a phone appointment.

Seriously?

Obviously, it couldn't be with my primary care doctor...it seems that some random general doctor is going to call me on my mobile phone...

I'm almost sure it's the flu...but, I don't know...I hope to confirm it by means of a 5-minute telephone diagnosis.

In fact, I think that ChatGPT already knows what I have with the symptoms I have described to you, everything seems to indicate that I have the FLU... in other words, that the most likely thing is that I will be prescribed paracetamol or ibuprofen and rest...

We'll see, for now, even though I brought my sports equipment to go for a run, I don't think I'm going to "punish myself" for today, I've had enough of coming to work at the office...

I hope to be better for the next 4 days of Easter...
