Ill, Ill and ill some more.....

Does anyone else out there seem to get ill sooooo much more than they did before having children? DS is now 2, I've been a single parent since his birth (H left me at 40 weeks pregnant!). I work full time and can just about manage all the demands as I have a supportive family nearby but what I'm really struggling with is illness. I just seem to be ill so often these days.

For example, 4 weeks ago I had a really bad cold that last for 2 weeks, 2 weeks ago I had a cyst - ahem - down there. Last weekend I started with some nasty virus which I'm now getting over after being in bed for 3 days. DS doesn't even seem to get ill as often as I do anymore. Just want my old (fantastic) immune system back.

Any recommendations??

you sound run down and perhaps stressed? multivitamins, healthy eating, exercise the usual....
you have a lot of demands on you and sometimes i think our bodies let us know that..
