Constantly sick

Symptoms & Treatments
1

Hey everyone,

so I am making this discussion because I would LOVE to hear any recommendations on how to avoid getting sick. I have caught yet another virus and my immune system never seems to have the chance to recover, which makes being productive in life and work very difficult.

Are there any vitamins or supplements that help? I just want to feel better again.

Thank you in advance.

Blessings and prayers

Hello Ahava31,

I am sorry to hear this, sadly I don't know the answer, p'raps you should consult your Doc. Leading as healthy a lifestyle as you can, which I am sure you are doing! Amazingly, I rarely get coughs colds or viruses, since I have had Fibro. I don't know why, I was a school teacher for many years, p'raps I built up immuniity that way! I wish you well

Take care, Anne

Thank you, Anne.
I wish my doctor was more supportive but he barely comes in the room before he leaves it again, I feel like I can’t even tell him new symptoms that concern me because his answer to everything is more activity (I’m sweating just to walk most of the time), or more medication which won’t help me. I think it is time to start my tedious search for a new doc.
I appreciate your support. Thank you.

Hello Ahava31,
I know what you mean about ‘more activity’, standard reply from people who think you are being lazy! Of course we would if we could. I do very gentle exercise, stretches mainly, and I have found I can tolerate Tai Chi, I know some find swimming ok on here. Just a few suggestions, you may well have tried them! Ultimately I think you have to find a new Doc, I think that is the key to managing this, as if we don’t have that support it is tricky. Anyway, you know you have our support on here, wish you well.
Take care, Anne

Thank you, Anne. Right now my exercise is very limited especially with my hands being the way they are. I appreciate the advice though, hopefully sooner than later I will be more physical again. I am glad you have found a routine that works for you, I feel like that is half the battle!

Appreciate the support.

Blessings and prayers
