Constant colds since Sept- low immunity

[DiscoSplasher]

I have had colds and viruses nearly fortnightly since September. Just as I get over one I have a week clear and then the next thing comes along. I finally got covid in December. Was then clear over Christmas and now seem to be back to constantly battling non-covid viruses.

Done all the 'right' things that we do for covid- masks, hand washing, distance where can- plus lots of fruit and veg, vitamin tablets, exercise where I can (between the illnesses). I do feel constantly run down from the week of illness though and only just get better before the next thing comes along. I work in a setting where children and coming in and out along with lots of different adults.

Anyone else had this and managed to break the cycle?

Yes, I had this last winter/spring and it was shit. I seem to have broken the cycle this winter, though I say that while touching wood! What I have done is:

High dose vitamin D (4000 IU) daily
Vit B complex daily (I'm veggie so probably need it)
Actimel daily
Echinacea and vitamin c+ zinc whenever anyone in the household has cold symptoms
More sleep - no burning the candle at both ends

Fairly simple and affordable, I feel more energetic and much less fed up with winter than usual.

Our whole house is like this! We seem to pass bugs around us all constantly and then the youngest one brings another bloody bug home from school and the merry go round starts again as it gets passed between the 4 of us. We have had so many PCR tests from all of the bugs, youngest had covid in the summer and we didn't catch it but this morning ended up with another fucking PCR test as she woke up with a temp of 38.5. Now will be another day off school tomorrow while waiting for the results.

My work have so far been patient, but that will end as one of us is constantly ill. I don't know when it will end!
