Why do I keep getting ill? ☹️

[Pineappleandcheese]

As of September onwards I’ve had a bad cold, a sickness bug, a chest infection and now an extremely sore throat. Done PCRs and LFTs every time and always negative.
My partner works in a secondary school and my son goes to nursery, I also take him to playgroups.
But I take vitamin D, slow release vitamin C and. Multi vitamin with a probiotic everyday.

Where am I going wrong?!

Is it not because of the nursery/play group thing? Are ypu breastfeeding? I caught everything under the sun while breastfeeding. I think it does something to your immune system.

Take zinc too. Eat plenty fruit and veg. Get a Nutri Ninja to make healthy fruit drinks etc if need be.

Annoyingly, I seem more susceptible to the bugs DS brings home from nursery than he does. Small children are gross.

My son and I were repeatedly sick when he started nursery for about 6 months. I got the point of the first sign of the slightest sniffle, I would get the dettol spray out and sanitise everything in the house, light switches, hand rails, door handles, the sofas, everything!!

Also are sleeping well? Eating well?

More sleep maybe is what you need?

I'm the same I teach in a secondary school and just seem to have had one bug after another since Sept.

All pcr/lft negative.

Currently sat in bed shivering like mad - haven't been able to get warm all day despite heating being on/fire being lit.

Not sure what the answer is

What are you eating? Why are you taking vitamin c - don’t you get enough in your diet?

We were constantly sick when our DCs were in nursery. However, is it keeps up ask your gp to check your ANA levels. I have auto immune problems and get sick a lot. Boosting my immune system with lots of vitamins is the worse thing for me. It’s worth getting it checked out.
