Surely it's better to get checked out while you are ill?!Thanks, it was wishful thinking that all these issues I've been having was due to this Flu, but more likely been caused by being rundown anyway like you say. Certainly will be getting checked out when feeling better!
As unpleasant as this is, i think it's just typical Flu, plus Drs aren't to keen on seeing you being contagious, I'm sure its peaked now so I'll endure it for a few days and see how it goes, if it hasn't improved in a few days I'll make an appointment.
But I'll be getting checked out for feeling rubbish the past few months anyway (when better from this Flu).

Proper flu and you cannot get out of bed for a P, you will know it if that is what it was.
Yeah pretty sure its the Flu, been in bed all day unable to get up, went downstairs to get a drink of water and almost fainted and throw up the same time!
unable to sit downstairs so back to bed! Good stuff! 
I think alot depends on other factors in you life .
From what i have read you seem to have gone from unfit to pretty fit . If you have a full time job also then you are adding extra load to your life and its going to be a shock to your system . now you're ill , not surprising really as you're run down .
Look at it another way , you have taken on another job so your body needs the extra fuel . Ditch the sport food and look at what you are eating to fuel the rides and if you feel tired have a nap . Nothing wrong with falling asleep on the sofa for an hour after 30-40 miles . Its the law in my house

Paracetamol and plenty of rest and fluids then. And don't go back to work until you are properly recovered, not fair on you and importantly your colleagues!Yeah pretty sure its the Flu, been in bed all day unable to get up, went downstairs to get a drink of water and almost fainted and throw up the same time!
Thanks will do! Definitely not the type to go into work/college with the lurgy! (selfish exposing others, hate those people!) Luckily off for another week anyway!

Thanks for your advice, will definitely be taking nutrition more seriously after this! And maybe not so full on with the mileage/intensity.
Nothing wrong with the mileage/intensity you just need to teach yourself how to deal with it . That may mean going to bed earlier and changing your lifestyle a bit but its all up to you .Thanks for your advice, will definitely be taking nutrition more seriously after this! And maybe not so full on with the mileage/intensity.
