The back is better, though I'm being careful.

Now if only I could get over the last of the Martian Death
Flu....

PS...chewable Vitamin C and Zinc lozenges. Trust me on this.

Yeah, I've got the last of it, and that was a big part of it,
the total and absolute fatigue. Combined with only getting a few hours
sleep here and there, it's kinda taken a toll, but fortunately I'm at
the tail end of the thing finally, and should be back up to snuff in a
few days.

The zinc lozenges are absolutely positively the #1 item to have
as soon as you start to feel a cold or flu coming on. Trust me, I've
learned the hard way on this one (and they can alleviate the symptoms a
bit once you've got it). You can get the cherry flavored ones, which
take some of the onus off it (the throat-candies with zinc aren't as
effective, btw). Alternate zinc lozenges (NOT the pill form, letting
the lozenge dissolve slowly in the mouth) and the vitamin C (ditto) as
often as you can, eating to counteract any acidic effect...and lemme
tell you, it makes a HUGE difference.
