Is coming true!
I am officially getting sick! and I am freaking out. I have 2 weeks from Sunday, going to the Dr. today.
Last night was my running day and I wasn't up to going. So I went to bed at 8pm, woke up at 4:10 and tried to run at 4:30. I got in two miles, barely and had to stop.
I feel like someone punched me in the chest. I also am getting feverish.
This sucks!

Matt, from what I have read, this is normal. Here's a paragraph, which might help you. "If you're planning to do a lot of exercise in the next few months, probiotics can help you keep on your training program. While moderate exercise improves your resistance to disease, extremely intense exercise can weaken your immune system. Particularly susceptible: marathon runners who push their bodies to the limit so they can race more than 26 miles. For these athletes, probiotics may help keep them on the road and out of a sickbed. When researchers in Finland gave probiotics to runners training for a road race, they found the supplements significantly reduced their sick days and lessened their intestinal problems (a frequent complaint among long distance runners) by about 25 percent."

More.... "How do probiotics bacteria work their immunity magic? One method appears to be by triggering the release of proteins (TLRs). These proteins help maintain the health of epithelial cells and activate the body's machinery that repairs injury. (Epithelial cells line the intestinal tract as well as the mouth and esophagus.) When probiotics bacteria are missing, as occurs when antibiotics kill them off, TLRs cannot perform their repair work. That lack of repair makes the body more vulnerable to invasion by pathogens, which can breach the body's protective membranes.
