Could spending too much time in a sauna and steam shower bring on the flu
l do not know if l am coming down with the flu or if I am still just
incredibly jet lagged from an insanely long international flight l took on
Dec. 30, but l feel miserable and I am worried that maybe spending too much
time in our home sauna and steam shower is making things even worse. I've
been staying in the sauna for like an hour in the morning after yoga &
walking the dog and then taking a really long eucalyptus steam shower, and
then at night repeating the process. I've been setting the sauna & the steam shower at 120 degrees. l drink tons of water, orange juice and EmergenC packets. l seem to be getting worse rather than better!!!! l feel really tired and achey and cold and l could not even run tonight and my throat hurts too much to talk. I am 17 and normally really healthy. Will the sauna and steam help or hurt? Please give advice. The rents and my boyfriend are not here this weekend. Idk what to do. Oh wait! Doh! I am a fool.... First of all, l dont sleep that much nor do l eat properly so my immune system is already comprimised. l have set the dials of my immune system to minimum. So l should expect that l get infected by bugs more easily, and that whatever stupid medications l take are next to futile. Secondly, l spend that long amount of time in dry heat and alternate between moist heat, which only serves to dehydrate me and further more weaken my immune system. The heat also means that l am burning more energy, in sweating and maintaining a stable internal body temperature, so l end up even more hypoglycemic than an anorexic! (because you combine this with lack of proper eating) environment for bacteria in my airways to breed and multiply... YUM! l should expect a sore throat or a chesty cough, or inflamed sinuses, or a combination of all of these... tsk tsk tsk! Once again my naivety is shining through. Man! How many lessons do l need to learn before l finally have the guts and the responsibility to make amends, change my ways, think about it more, be more responsible, HEED...If only l heeded! Then perhaps my parents would treat me with more than the respect that a big child deserves... l can see how I've still got a long way to go before l become an actual responsible adult who has the discipline to look after themselves properly. It is funny how l attribute flu to spending too much time in the sauna and steam shower!!! When the root cause of it is probably due to a weakened immune system due to malnourishment, lack of sleep and lack of taking proper care of my health. Hey Mazzy Babe!!!! that is what happens when l let some 17 year old teeny bopper into my head! If you like l can let you into my head!!! If you wanna know how to get into the head of Methoozelah then email me!!!! l am so, so, so annoying, are not I? Oh yes l am. l act like a total know-it-all when I am actually totally wrong. k, so if anyone is actually reading could you please only pay attention to the original question and not the added details? l have no clue what got into me then. Thx.
ROTFLMFAO!!!
You seriously are my most entertaining contact!! hahaha!!!
Might I suggest that while mummy and daddy and the boyfriend are away, you
keep well stocked up with echinacea and vitamin C tablets..and plenty of
bed rest of course.
LOL.you are hysterical! I honestly cant get over some of the stuff that
comes out of your mind sometimes!! Funny boy!!
yea tha person above me sounds a bit right.. ii have never
heard of that
The ONLY way you can get a cold or the flu is you have to be
exposed to the virus. Sitting in a sauna, taking a flight, etc. wont do
anything.
If you are coughing up any color other than white phlegm, then you have an
infection and can see a doctor and get an antibiotic.
If you do not have an infection there is not a lot you can do
