Counterproductive

Current story of my life.
I've been sick for a week or so now. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that it's, well, bronchitis.
Last Thursday, I had early signs of a slight cold, mostly in the sinus region. Except for one day, I continued my hectic work schedule.
On Sunday, my slight cold turned into uncontrollable coughing, and on Monday, I woke up with my ear bleeding, thanks to a small blood vessel popping from all the coughing. Yesterday I went to the doctor's, seeking some drugs solace. She diagnosed me with bronchitis and ordered some prescriptions cough syrup and antibacterial pills.
I was excited to get the cough syrup because the coughing is by far the worst part of this entire deal. My entire chest is achy and my throat is sore and swollen. And sometimes, I go into these uncontrollable coughing fits that rack up my entire body for minutes on end. So finding some relief was my entire hope.
Last night, I was flat out miserable. While the coughing during the day manages to stay under control, as soon as I hit the pillow, I can't stop coughing. Even if I manage to fall asleep, I tend to jolt myself awake every 30 mins or so, coughing like crazy. The only time I seem to find relief is when I am sitting up. And trying to sleep sitting up fails horribly.
My doctor also forbade me from going to work for a couple days. Not only am I contagious, but I'm also susceptible to other sicknesses, and considering my line of work, I don't want to get sick.
But sitting home all day, isn't very productive. It could be.
SWTOR
I've been working on my Sage, but for some reason, my leveling speed has incredibly slowed down. Yesterday, I literally played all day, in Balmorra, yet, I only accrued about a level and a half. Meanwhile, many of my fellow guildies have been catching up with me. I feel so unproductive!
It didn't help that I switched classes halfway through, from Commando Trooper to Sage Consular. To be honest, the main reason I decided to switch was that I wasn't very happy without a lightsaber. Yeah, I really wanted a lightsaber. Big guns were good and fun for a while, but nothing beats a lightsaber. Leveling is much more easier on my Sage, mainly because having a tank companion earlier helped me take on the harder quests.
The healing is a bit more, normal, for me, then Commando. I like having the shields and Rejuvenate. Focus is much more normalized in regen, and reminds me more of mana, which may be another thing that feels more comforting. I also like Telekinetic for leveling. Many people have compared it to an Elemental Shaman, and I agree.
Hopefully
Real life gets better. I wonder if being sick just makes me level slower, even though I feel like I am going as fast as I can. Hopefully, I can get my framerate better so I feel like everything is running smoother. No matter how many tips and stuff SWTOR Devs keep offering, it's still not quite running right.
