Loaded with the cold again!

[cazscot]

I am totally fed up my bs are good and under control, I am loosing lots of weight and I am at my fittest in years but... I keep on getting colds and they floor me every time! Woke up yesterday morning with a sniffle and today my head feels as if it is going to expload... Is this what it is going to be like for me now? Am I just going to be more prone to getting colds? Is there anything I can do to protect myself? Sorry for the moan - I just feel really rotten just now.

Other Half and I joined the legion of sufferers last Monday and still feel like s**t today. We've had both jabs so I know it's not 'flu but I'm absolutely whacked out by it and keep retiring to bed during the day - unheard of !

My Dr said last Thursday there are a couple of nasties around - keep warm, drink lots (had to explain to OH that did not mean whiskey!) and take paracetamols. My BS levels are bouncing around like mad and I keep wondering when will it go ?

It's somewhat comforting to know I'm in good company.....but I DO feel sorry for myself ! (whimp that I am).

Google Vitamin D, I take high levels of it during the winter to avoid colds, etc.

Thanks everybody. Just gonna take it easy over the next couple of days... My step-mother swears by echinacea (sp?) and vit C as well so I might start taking them.

I hope you feel better soon. Take parecetmol to reduce temperature and have plenty of sugar free fluids. Rest as much as possible, and if you can manage a light meal, try to eat.
