Low immunity/repeated viruses and colds

6 replies

gottaloveascamhun · 25/09/2016 10:58

Background: I'm a part time teacher and have 2 young children. In the last 3 weeks I've had 3 heavy cold viruses back to back. Very fatigued with temperature and fuzzy head, runny nose etc. I haven't taken any time off work and have managed by going to bed really early. Am now totally exhausted and tearful. I don't drink any alcohol, do lots of walking outside, eat home cooked meals and take a multivitamin but still am getting ill constantly. Wanted to take the children out today but can't do it as I feel too unwell again. Any ideas for how to break the cycle and get better? Maybe I'm just making a big deal out of nothing but it's making me feel really low.

It will be because youre back at work and children are full of germs. Rest

Thanks for quick reply CalleighDoodle. You are right. Nursery, work and school gems are to blame. I feel I should be able to breeze past it all and get on with things like everyone else does. Can't stop crying.

You are not alone OP - I could have written your post, except l don't work in education so I can't blame the germs on kids.

I'm so fed up and it's not even winter yet Sad

Well I feel a bit more rational now. DH got freaked by the crying and took the kids to the park all afternoon bless him. Peace and quiet was blissful. I had a nap and made a leisurely roast. Really trying to eat properly. Hope to get a bit of immunity soon, so run down and tired. Early night tonight.
