Fuck I hope not, and it’s just some standard cold instead. Don’t have any fever, aches, pains or nausea so far which is a good sign. Pretty sure it’s just the culmination of that iffy tonsil I had since Friday last week. Usually with me if when the first day of congestion and feeling shit hits I rest I come good pretty fast.

This bullshit is getting old though. Wasn’t a month ago even I had that sinus crap, then a month or so before that more sinus crap and in between that my back. It’s mostly the cold and sinus bullshit that pisses me off though, because I can’t seem to do much about it.

I did some reading though and it does look like apnea can cause a reduction in your immune system’s ability to work. Assuming I do have apnea, that would explain a fair bit along the lines of what I speculated when I was having a good old whinge. Should hear from the sleep clinic quite soon, so hopefully I get to a point where I can do something.

There have been a shitload of lurgies getting around this year, everyone I know has been sick. My class has had flu, colds, chickenpox, gastro amongst other things kicking about.
Grab a tongue retainer for sleeping, it feels and looks weird, but made a massive difference in sleep quality and snoring for me.

You’ll look like an idiot with it, but it helps, my Mrs calls it my dummy, haha. I need to start using it again as it made a massive difference to sleep quality and how I felt during the day. I’ve used the mouthpiece things with half ok success, they pull your lower jaw forward though, so ya wake up with a sore jaw. If you can get away with it, do it. Better than sleeping with the snorkel down the track

Woke at 260.1 lbs, looking similar to the usual. Night was rough as guts so I’m heading to the GP later

Doc gave me until at least tomorrow off and some antibiotics. Still feel like dogshit.

Incoming whinge.

It’s Wednesday, so I should be back to normal(ish) by Monday. Thank fuck this week is deload. Which I’ve said before. Actually, also thank fuck my back has held up from all the sitting.

Maybe not incoming whinge.

Not good mate. Hope you asked for the strong stuff

I’ll take whatever he tells me to. It should work, I don’t normally take them. Except a couple of weeks ago, but he made sure they were different ones.

Rest up big fella. Some time away from work laying on the couch does wonders sometimes

Woke at 261.9 lbs, looking barely any different. A little more bloated, but not by much. So there’s a win. Still feeling much less than great though.

I think I might be on the mend, because I’m definitely not worse than yesterday but still around 60 per cent at best. Did manage a long nap midway through the day though, which hopefully will help. Still focusing on being good to go on Monday and being thankful AF this happened during deload.

Ok so my sinuses have upped their pain game and I’m rating this as the worst pain I’ve felt in around five years. It’s fucked, it feels like my eyebrows are going to burst.
