I used to have what I would regard as ‘normal’ periods of illness - mostly colds and the occasional sickness bug picked up from the children.
Now when I get ill I invariably get a fever and am completely wiped out. I’m on my 5th or 6th instance of this in the last 18 months. Currently have cough, headache, vomiting and fever. Multiple covid tests negative. I’ve had blood tests recently at the GP for something else and nothing unusual was flagged.
Is it normal to be a person who doesn’t get fevers and then does? Are there more of these bugs around since covid? I’ve had covid once during the main outbreak and test every time I have these symptoms but have never had another positive test. I have had boosters as well as the main vax as my DH is vulnerable.
I am breastfeeding so I wonder whether that’s depleting my immunity. Or has covid knocked my immune system long term? Or is it getting older?
It’s so frustrating. Has anyone experienced something like this?
