Multiple colds

[vilamoura2003]

Has anyone else had one after the other 🤷‍♀️ I am literally feeling terrible again, that is my 4th cold in 12 weeks, I seem to have had one every 3 weeks. I feel so low today I could cry and have made an appointment at the doctor. My MIL said I am wasting their time for a cold, but I think surely this can't be normal?

I'm taking vitamin C, have tried Vicks First Defence, usual drugs for blocked nose, paracetamol etc.

And I seem to have put weight on - I'm wondering whether it could be maybe a vitamin D deficiency 🤷‍♀️

I have exactly the same.. it feels like a vicious cycle; just as you think you've thrown one off, another one comes around! Do you have going DC?

Go to the GP and get your bloods checked.

I was like this last winter. I had constant colds and sore throats that resulted in me losing my voice every time. I worked on the phones as well! Ended up with bad tonsillitis. Turns out I was very badly anemic, also had vitamin D deficiency.

I've been much better this winter after getting on top of it all. Changing to a less stressful job has helped as well.

Me! I started mid-December, felt more human by Christmas Eve, then on Christmas Day got a new dose. Bit better, then another one at the end of January, and now in a fresh cold. I was off work a few days in December, and have pretty much not felt right since. I actually did go to the doctor who said it had gone into my sinuses (that was the end of Jan) but I think I am just really run down.

No young DC here, but I teach, so germ central.

Same, since mid December and now I finally feel a bit better I've been left with a blocked right ear and high pitched tinnitus which is driving me crazy

Nurse said to just keep on the anti congestants, steam etc. I've always shook off colds in a week so this has been a shocker. I do have DC who started nursery (aka germ pit) around the same time though!
