Want to perk my health up a bit

[BoffinMum]

I thought I would ask you all for suggestions as to how to perk myself up a bit in health terms. I am just run down, I think. I feel knackered a lot of the time, have thrush, cystitis, mouth ulcers, dry eyes, get nosebleeds a lot and my nose is sore on the inside, stiff shoulder, and stiff neck. I am doing yoga, and I have just started taking zinc, taking vitamin D, and I have just used lavender oil and Canesten on the thrush, and taken some Boots cystitis remedy. However I would welcome general support and advice as to what else I might do as I am a bit fed up of feeling like this. Ta.

oh poor you

just some ideas maybe...

probiotic taken daily to give you good gut bacteria
cut out refined carbs and sugar & increase fruit, veg and lean protein.
exercise- can you manage a 30 min quick walk daily?
massage maybe for yor neck? get a properly qual. massage therapist not a beautician.
put aside an hour for yourself every day to chill- read, bit of personal grooming, listen to music?

sounds like you need to relax and feed your soul a bit .

I hadn't thought of a probiotic. That would seem sensible. I have not been great about getting myself outside (I've got a disability and my Blue Badge seems to be taking an age to renew, which means I am home a lot more) but I could certainly do a little bit more. And I like the idea of the personal grooming time. Thank you.

If you can afford it, I'd suggest a few sessions of acupuncture. If you are in/near London and want a recommendation for a practitioner, please shout and I'll happily give you details.
Hope you feel better soon.

That's also a good idea but I am very short of money at the moment, so I will have to pass on the acupuncture, sadly.

I just wanted to say that I have tried all the main things you all suggested, and I am feeling a lot better - more fruit and veg, zinc and vitamin D supplements, more walking, loose fitting trousers and I was treated to two spa days. It's made a big difference. Thanks for all your support.
