Up all night sneezing - so done being immunosuppressed

[alpenguin]

I’ve been so careful these past two weeks. Had an awful infection end of November so stayed away from public places since so I wouldn’t be ill over Christmas. My partner is working over Christmas so it’s just me and the kids. I haven’t resumed immunosuppressants since the infection to give me half a chance to recover.

Now thanks to my snotty offspring being unable to cover coughs and sneezes, I have yet another cold. I haven’t slept all night as my nose won’t stop running and I can’t stop sneezing. It’ll be a chest infection by Christmas Day. I have so much to do in the next few days including a huge deadline for work. I don’t have enough liquid left in me to cry, it’s all tumbling down my snout.

I’m so sick of being sick. It’s been constant since august. Every week a new cold or infection. I just wish people would stay home when ill to stop the spread
of viruses. It seems like since lockdowns people are desperate to go to work or socialise when ill.

im so sorry OP that sound difficult and a nightmare. Try to not stress as much as possible (harder said than done) I find stress levels make me sicker.

Can you get any meds in advance for over Christmas/ Boxing Day just incase you do need antibiotics etc.

You must have been up all night too which sucks and is rubbish! I hope you can get some sleep / rest today. You have got this, delegate what you can, make a plan for things you can only do.

Thanks. My GP don’t give out just in case antibiotics. They don’t even give them easily when I have an infection so I usually have to go a few times to show it’s not just viral and not going away.

I’ve barley had an hours sleep combined but can’t catch up until later tonight now. Wish me luck. Today is going to be hellish
