Is anyone else catching bug after bug?

Since having covid twice I seem to be catching something every few weeks, it’s driving me mad! I feel like I’m coming down with something then I seem to fight it off but a few weeks later I feel off colour again. Is it just me or does anyone else feel their immune system is weaker this winter?

You really are going through it :(

I’ve been sick on and off since October but not as bad as you describe. If I had taken the Covid vaccines I would put it down to their effect on the immune system but I didn’t so in my case I think it was being indoors during the lockdown that weakened our immune systems. I also had Covid in the summer so could be to do with that.

I hope we all start to feel better soon!

The idea that the immune system needs constant exposure to disease has been debunked.

No, it hasn't. How do you think vaccines actually work?!
