Constantly unwell help please!

[Pavolvaa]

I pick up every single thing going, it’s gotten to the point now where life is not worth living as I am unwell more days every month. I seem to get everything my family / work colleagues get x 100.

How’s your sleep? So you exercise, take supplements? How’s your diet? Are you under stress?

I hear you, I was the same when my kids were little. It got better.

That doesn't sound right. I think you should have a chat with your GP. You might need a blood test to make sure everything is ok.

Metatone tonic is great when you're run down.

I’m the same currently. Since Jan I have had Pnemonia, sickness bug, trapped nerve in shoulder and now the flu! Don’t think I can hope anymore either. What’s your symptoms? X

Research high dose vitamin D. It helps boost the immune system and a lot of people are deficient.

How you feeling? I feel rotton and currently in bed!! X

I think it’s the flu at this point never known anything like it.

I am determined to try focus on improving immunity, I don’t get enough sleep as I have young children and I’m not a very good sleeper anyway. Diet needs to improve and have less processed with 3 set meals and then cut on the booze also I think.

What’s your weekly alcohol intake?

Sorry- I’m the same and have decided to give up alcohol completely.

Drink No alcohol

Eat the Mediterranean diet exclusively

Drink 2 litres of water a day

Take a really good broad spectrum multi vit (Lamberts or Cytoplan)

Try to exercise (raise your heart rate for 30 mins) 4 times a week

Take Magnesium glycinate before bed (I take 3 x what it says on the bottle)

Do the above for 3 months and see how you feel then.

Do not take more magnesium than it says on the bottle. While useful for many things, it can also cause irregular heartbeat and cardiac arrest!

That must be really horrible. Aside from catching so many bugs, how are you feeling in general?

I would say I drink 2 large glasses of wine in the week and half a bottle at the weekend, sometimes a couple of mixer cans also.

I have had quite a lot of stress from work and I think I need to get signed off for a couple of weeks.

a lot of people have lack of sleep young kids etc and don’t seem to have so many bugs!!??

Two large glasses is 2/3 of a bottle. Is that every night? It won’t be helping, as nice as it probably feels at the time.

Sugar (although I have whooping cough) but since giving up sugar I am much healthier....

How you feeling now? I’m still no better! Currently in bed with a stomach bug!! It’s never ending!! X

Hi - I gave up alcohol for a month and felt better. Slid back to it over Easter week so am planning to cut out again from Monday. Overall I think it’s the stress - GP has done checks and seems ok, I think not enough sleep and too much work stress has made me unwell for most of winter. I also did a couple of weeks of no processed food which helped so I am going to try To reduce that also

Thanks for the update. Well done on giving up the booze, even though you’ve gone back to it, it’s still a big achievement.
