I spend most of my weekend sleeping, literally. I don't think I've ever slept like that since I was a child. It was nice, and today I feel as if I'm over 80% of my illness. I'm particularly fond of Saturday night.
before getting sick I had bought tickets for an ecstatic dance event, so after sleeping through most of the morning I dragged myself out of bed to go. On my way there I thought "there is no way I will enjoy myself if I don't take medication", so I went to the pharmacy to buy some flu medication. I generally avoid taking medication to mask symptoms (because the symptoms are there for a reason, and you can patently see my lack of wisdom in overriding what my body was asking for).
I was already running late to the event and I took a train to the wrong metro station (I'm guessing my brain was not operating at 100% either), so when I emerged from the underground and realized my mistake, I considered my options. I decided to forgo my ticket and rest again.
I went to bed at 7:30pm and woke up at 4:00am, I took a second packet of that expensive cocktail that the pharmacist recommended and promptly went back to sleep and woke up at noon. I woke up feeling utterly strange, I had excess energy and I even did some pushups to see if it was real. My muscles were springy and eager, but my brain still hurt, like having brain fog yet body clarity.
Later in the day I went to the gym, and then to yoga. Other than sweating much more than normal, I didn't notice anything out of the norm in my practice. It's like I have brain fog, yet body clarity. I guess it's a matter of a couple of days so that everything falls back into place.
