Sick.... Again.

I don't get sick very often (knock on wood). I always intend to take vitamins but rarely actually remember to take them

I drink lots of water, drink tea (usually white or black) whenever I feel a little run down/tired/sniffly, etc. I also eat a of fruit and veg to get my nutrients.

A couple of years ago, I seemed to be getting sick more often than usual.. and this seemed to coincide with coughing/sneezing noises from co-workers. Since then, I've started washing my hands/using anti-bacterial gel anytime I leave my desk and touch anything that others would touch (water fountain, printer, etc). I also make sure to not touch the handle of the door when leaving the restroom (I wash MY hands, of course, but who knows if all of the other ladies do! ).

Usually when I do get sick, it's quite mild. I can't say for sure which of these tings is the reason, but I am going to stick with doing all of these things! Good luck

Are you eating enough? Overexercising? Not drinking enough? Do you get enough sleep? So many factors affect our immune system. I know for me personally when I don't eat well and I overexercise I get sick frequently. Take a look at those things and see what you find.

I used to be you! Sick 3-4 times a year. Like REALLY SICK! Do you still have your tonsils? Other than that Idk what else to tell you. As soon as i had mine taken out, I hardly get sick now. If I do its just the cold. But other than that, good luck!

Vitamins, vitamins, vitamins!!

I take a multivitamin, calcium and fish oil every day. What kind of magical vitamins are you taking? Share them with me. :frown:

I guess this "flu" that hit during the winter/spring is a real nasty one. :grumble: I have two friends that got it and have had recurring bouts for the past 3 months. Not fun. Just try to build your immune system up to help fight it and get plenty of rest.:yawn:

Sounds gross but try spraying your home and the surfaces with Lysol. I also make sure I wipe the shopping carts with the anti bacterial wipes at the markets too.


Probiotic's and Digestive Enzymes are great to help keep you healthy. They put good bacteria in your tummy. I even give my dogs Probtiotic's and Digestive Enzymes to help keep them healthy. I also use Airborne when I feel a cold coming on.

Hang in there. This too will pass and you'll feel better. :flowerforyou:

for sinus probs I STRONGLY recommend the netti pot or sinus rinse. At the FIRST sign of congestion, rinse your sinuses - ALWAYS use distilled water, DON'T use tap water (this can lead to worse infections)
I've had allergies & sinus infections ALL MY LIFE - MUCH better now since I rinse. I seldom ever have one (knock wood)
I know it sounds gross & uncomfortable but it's better than a sinus infection.

With Neil Med - do NOT use tap water - use distilled ONLY.
