Like Most, I Hate Getting Sick!
But really not now please.
I’m 4 weeks away from The North Face 100km race in Thailand. I have to keep training!
I have been training for 11 months for this race, so rather than just take Modafinil and push through. I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t make things worse.
Off to my local doctor I went.
Modafinil and Sickness
A Few Years Back Now, I Came Clean With My Doctor!
Doc I need to be honest with you about what I’m putting in my body.
My doctor, Ok that’s a good start. But why now?
Because I have started using Modafinil to help me stay awake on nightshift.
My doctor, When did you start and how much do you take and how often are you taking it?
About 6 months and I stick to the recommended dose and I use it 14 days every month. 2 lots of 7 days matching my nightshift roster.
My doctor, any un-wanted side effects?
No everything is fine!
My doctor, that shouldn’t be a problem. But let’s run a few test’s and see what’s going on behind the scene.
And that was that. Now I’m open about everything with my doctor. Nothing new for some.
Modafinil and Sickness
Not wanting to make my flu like symptoms any worse. I went to see my doctor about using ‘Modafinil when sick’.
I will spare you the doctor, and patient conversation this time!
Doctor Visit Results
Keep training and pay extra attention to hydration. Listen to your body and pull back rather than push through any discomfort. If the Modafinil helps you get through the day then keep taking it.
I was also put on a Vitamin C schedule for 7 days.
- 1000mg every hour for 6 hours, on the first day.
- then 1000mg 3 times a day for the next 6 days.
Taking Modafinil When Sick
I was only at the doctors yesterday so I will update everyday with the results here.
As prescribed I took 1000mgs every hour for 6 hours yesterday. And Feel better today. Coincidence? Maybe. But I still have all the symptoms.
- Runny nose
- Headache
- Coughing etc..
I normally exercise first thing in the morning. But not today.
Quick note, I normally take Artvigil. But because I’m feeling very lazy today, I took Waklert this morning. Which is slightly stronger than Artvigil.
So far so good, I’m off to train now. 14:00.
- Bike 40mins 90kw
- Sauna 20 minutes
- Easy swim for the cool down
Modafinil worked, I got through the day and finished with a workout.

Exercise and the Flu
What does the research say?
Having a high temperature draws moisture from your body and so does exercise. Don’t push yourself and stay hydrated. Pushing too hard could lead to the flu lasting longer.
Skipping 1 or 2 workouts to rest might be better than pushing through. Give your body a chance to recover.
Remember the flu is contagious so stay away from the gym or wear a medical mask.
