    it's more like struggling to form sentences and losing your train of thought y'know

    honestly i had this the whole time with the flu and as a diabetic my sugars were always high and i had blurry version and struggling to concentrate directly with people even when i was sick too and a lot of brain fog

    is it normal to have brain fog when your sick ?

    I think so man, well at least in my personal experience.

    I can't even listen to music or watch movies the same when i'm physically ill.

    cool avi btw. I wanted to meet Trish at my local comic-con but she had to cancel. It was a bummer

    Whatchu doing with ya throat so often that u came up with this strategy

  • Dec 31, 2025

    you have 2 choices, succumb to your mucus-y stuffy, shivering hell & maybe have your partner nurse you back to health like a little baby bird or jack yourself full of every remedy at your disposal & vapor rub the s*** out of your chest & power through it, nah for whatever its worth being proactive feels mentally better idk if you can’t prevent some of the viruses going around out here though

    agreed with the ill part

  • Yes I also get super deflated and defeated. I stay in bed and don't even want to eat or get up to drink water even though you are supposed to in order to recover.

    Last year I got sick like 5 times in the first 7 months. Then I started taking zinc and vitamin c and have not gotten sick since. I just got the flu shot today. My mission is to go a full year without getting sick

    It’s not pleasant but it’s common. Dealing with various types of colds ain’t nothing new. Sometimes it’s a rough one that knocks you out and other times it’s just a little teaser. Happens to everyone a few times a year and it can be annoying when it happens but we always bounce back so I just stick it out. I got type 1 diabetes just like you OP so I can relate to that struggle as well @Rampage_Adam

    For insulin I use insulin pens (Apidra and Lantus) and I have a Freestyle Libre 3 for a CGM. My nurse/doctor been pushing for me to start using an insulin pump but I haven’t felt ready for that. What about yourself?
