Now i'm gaining, i ahve a surplus of calories only weight train 3 days a week with 2 cardio sessions and about 10g of glutamine a day. It's the same kind of sick feeling everytime. Achy all over first in my knees then my whole leg then to my upper back and a little dizzy. I've had and have been contimplating giving up lifting if this contues. I have taken several days off and took a week oof before going in to my bulk. Any idea?:(

Get some standard tests to see if anything is out of whack, especially blood sugar levels since I seem to remember an earlier post where you mentioned NO sugar in your diet. Might be a connection. Just a thought though.

Your description doesn't sound like a cold, with the pain in your legs, back, etc. Do you live in an area with Lyme disease? It almost sounds like joint inflammation. Or muscle fascia inflammation. Are you allergic to anything? Foods or meds? -------------- \"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.\" Marcel Proust

But that's a last resort and will give another 2 weeks or so with trying to relieve my stress. I get plenty of sleep 8 to 8 1/2 hours a night my diet and training regime are down pat that is really all i do is workout and eat healthy sleep good, pretty much create the perfect enviroment for my body to build muscle. I live in San Diego, don't think there's any Lime Disease out here but who knows. I really do think it has been stress related. Thanks for all the concerns and help guy, I appreciate it:big_smile:
