    Last night I was really cranky, couldn’t fall asleep, kept waking up through the night… Woke up with puffy red itchy eyes, sneezing and congested… I guess I have a head cold… Will this set me back on RRARF? Should I do anything differently until I feel better?

    Still sick and would appreciate some input… Temps have dropped back down into the 96s…

    Hi Islandsneezer

    Are you better yet?

    I had a cold also about 2 weeks into RRARFing. I continued eating as I was but got more rest, actually, there was one day where I slept 9 hours in the night, and then had a sleep during the day for another 5 hours, then had another 9+ hours sleep the next night! I got over the cold more quickly than usual, and I think it was the extra sleep that did it. I also took ibuprofen, I don’t know how this is metabolically as it is anti inflammatory, blood thinning and supposed to reduce fever.

    My Dad always used to say “feed a cold, starve a fever” and I think there is some benefit to that piece of “folk wisdom”.
