Everytime I exercise, I get the flu and am down for a month.?

I am eating healthy, I'm not on a diet. Whether I lift, or do cardio, if I exert myself, the same night or next morning I have a sore throat and flu like symptoms and I am down for a couple of weeks. I know it is directly related to working out because in the last three months, its happened 3 times right after I worked out. Anybody had this happen to them?

Chad, I think you may have hit the nail on the head.

do some research on cronic fatigue also known as cfs that is what it sounds like to me..
hope this helps

Nope. Whenever I sense a cold coming, I exercise and the feeling goes away.
Maybe it's because you keep wear your sweaty clothes on after you exercise. Try taking a shower right after you exercise and change into dry clothes.

The flu is a virus. Unless your working out in a place where everyone has the flu thats not the cause. Exercise cannot create a flu virus.

no not really

Try taking vitamin C. I use to get sick about every 3-4 months. My colds would last forever when I got one. I started taking C about a year ago and have been sick once. I didn't get sick all this winter. Try C,D and E.
