Has anyone else been unwell pretty much this whole year so far?

I'm on my fifth bad cold/virus thing (last one was covid), this one is just as bad but not covid.
I feel like I've been unwell on and off this whole year so far and it's exhausting and depressing, especially whilst trying to do a stressful part-time (that should be full-time) job, and the rest of the time care for an extremely energetic (and often unwell too) 2yo.

Everyone's saying it's because we didn't mix for a while now everyone's getting ill...

How are you all doing?

Hi, Sorry to hear you feel like this. I am going through very similar and have lost appetite since covid. Not so much nausea.

The things I have bought to try to help us are as follows (all fairly natural products as wanted to give that a go first). Some symptoms have eased since taking these but that might just be placebo, not sure.

Echinacea drops
Magnesium oil for legs or other body aches
Angus Castus tablets (having worse premenstrual symptoms since covid)
Sambucol
Optibac (having digestive issues since catching covid)

Only just started these last week but going to hang in there to see if things improve

We've been okay since the turn of the year, but the last three months of last year were truly awful. Not helped by my being in first trimester, but DH and I were genuinely ill from October to January, just one bug into another: colds, sinus infection, norovirus, flu, throat infection. I was so miserable.

Then it was like a switch flipped and we've had nothing since start of Jan so I guess we've exhausted the current pool of nursery germs and have to wait for new ones to evolve! Everyone is on a strict vitamin routine now too!

And the leaking has got ridiculous.

Turned into a nasty summer cold not covid but just starting to get over it now slowly.
