How so I get my energy back after being so sick?!
Question: I was sick with Flu/Cold/Bronchitis/Asthma/Pneumonia for 7 days. I was in bed. Only got up to take the kids to school and force feed myself. I am better now, taking Prednisone. No antibiotics. I want to have my energy back again. What can I do to get it back? I've been getting soooooo tired just cooking for the kids. My muscles have nearly atrophied. (sp) Help me.

The other answerer is right that you should wait until you're not sick anymore before worrying about your energy. While you're sick, your body is using up basically all your energy to fight the sickness.... if you force yourself to do other things while you're sick, you'll just prolong the illness.
Once you're feeling better, you could try one of several natural products for energy. The most popular energy boosters are B-12, Royal Jelly (and other bee-based products), L-Carnitine, Ribose, Ginseng, Guarana and Green Tea (both are natural sources of caffeine).
Good luck in your recovery!
sleep and stay home if you are sick and eat the right foods and try the gym after
