Is anyone else ill ALL the time? Or is it just me?

[roslily]

Since Jan i have had 3 stomach bugs, two chest infections and almost continuous sinisitus. I am just recovering from stomach bug which hit me suddenly yesterday, after being off work last week with horrific sinisitus and weird dizzy, nausea, feelings.

I am so sick of being ill. Is it just me?

If you're weakened by an illness it can make you more susceptible to the next virus doing the rounds. If you're prescribed antibiotics too often that can end up being counter-productive. Taking decongestants for too long ditto.

You can try to strengthen your immune system by increasing your intake of nourishing foods... particular those rich in iron and vitamin C.... getting plenty of good quality sleep, taking a multivitamin with iron, finding ways to de-stress, spending time in the fresh air each day, avoiding nasties like alcohol, cigarettes etc.

And, of course, if it's been going on for a long time then you should see your doctor and get their expert opinion. Five months of ill-health is really not normal
