Has anyone found recovery from bugs slower while using weight loss injections?

Just wondering if people have experienced similar? We’ve had a Covid/flu bug in our house recently, 3 out of 4 of us have it.

But whereas my husband and daughter have had it and recovered in a week, I’ve been ill for over 2 weeks. It’s mainly a respiratory illness but everyone’s had a touch of diarrhoea too.

I was just wondering if other people have experienced it taking longer to recover from the usual illnesses of life - maybe the delayed gastric emptying reduces your capacity to get rid of viruses?

Are you eating properly and taking supplements?

No, in fact I’m healthier and have gotten less illnesses since being on the jab. Been on it 2 years and haven’t caught a cold since even when everyone else around me has. Are you tracking calories, protein, are you getting your 5 a day in?

Same as above. Much healthier overall and not caught anything in the last year or so.

However, it’s common for respiratory infections to take a while to recover from. Easily 2-3 weeks in many cases.
