Sick of you and I following foreign article line by line (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unwell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sick' is the definition.
('unwell' can be similar in meaning to 'sick')

'you and i following foreign article line by line' is the wordplay.
'you and i' becomes 'we'.
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'foreign article' becomes 'un'.
'line by' becomes 'l' (I am not sure about the 'by' bit.**).
'line' becomes 'l'.
'we' put after 'un' is 'unwe'.
'unwe'+'l'+'l'='UNWELL'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
