Fed up - always seem to be ill!

Just a bit annoyed really because I've been feeling very tired and lightheaded these past couple of days and now I have a scratchy throat and I just know I am coming down with something.

The problem is is that I seem to catch a cold about once every three months. And when I say a cold I don't just mean a sniffle and a bit of a sore throat, I end up feeling like absolute crap; really tired, achy, just want to lie in bed and it all seems to go to my chest. This has been going on for about 2-3 year now and I'm just so fed up now. It really is ridiculous.

My DP says I should go to the GP but the last time I went they just fobbed me off and told me to 'stop being so stressed'.

But surely it's not normal for an otherwise healthy adult to be ill so often?

I'm similar and have finally been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I would take a list of symptoms and frequency to the GP and ask to be referred for auto immune testing. Don't let them fob you off - it took me ages to get them to listen!
