Discussion: Illness....

Perhaps the reason it didn't develop into a proper illness was precisely because you took it easy, rested and allowed your body the time to fight the illness? So you did the right thing, and now should proceed cautiously, starting with a short session of some gentle exercise and see how your body reacts. I know it's annoying, but it's better than being ill & knocking yourself back.

Agree! Resting really hard at the first sign of illness is surely even better than masses of vitamin C and zinc and voodoo dolls.
