Any one can share theier experience. Does riding hurt or help if you have just staretd with a yucky cough??
There is a reason why being sick makes you feel like a
, it's the bodies way of telling you that you need to let it rest to fight off the infection. So make a nice cup of tea, add some lemon and honey
(some people prefer a nice brandy), then go into hibernation mode. Often if you invest a day or two to get better, you recover much quicker, then if you try to be superman (or superwoman), and the stupid illness hangs on for weeks.
I've known people who firmly believe that if they don't go to work every day, the universe will end, A month later they are still driving everyone nuts with their honking and barking.
BTW These are the same people who will walk the 40 miles to work after a blizzard drops a half a metre of snow on the ground, while everyone else takes the day off to let the nice folks at the local snow camp to take their graders and plows and front end loaders to nicely move it out of the way.
