I'm always bleedin' sick

[RedRalph]

I never used to be sick but now I'm always gettin colds and things. Do you reckon it's because I live with three people who spend the day in rooms fulla kids? Anyone else get this?

 

[Kyriakos]

Maybe. Then again perhaps you are more depressed than before, which is known to cause the immune system to struggle a bit. Anyway i hope you recover

Saw the thread title and was going to say it was because groups of kids are disease factories. Mrs Tonic teaches and it's just part of the job description. How are the little comrades?

 

[Yoda Power]

Do you eat varied and get your 600g of vegetables (not counting potatoes) a day?

 

[timtofly]

Do you still have your wisdom teeth?

They caused me to have worse bouts with the changing of the seasons, than I did after they were out.

Yeah she's a teacher too. You get this as well?Oh, and I actually have a very healthy lifestyle

Do you have mold in your home?

Actually I've been getting more colds than usual so far this Autumn. They're never bad enough to actually feel miserable, just a little blocked nose and an occasional throat clear, but far more frequent than I usually get them. I don't know if some variety of relatively harmless but extremely fast mutating cold is going around the the Isles...

 

[Berzerker]

a real cold is pretty nasty, maybe you got an allergy. My sinuses clog up a bit after I eat so I figure I got a food allergy

go figure

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Have you tried building an aqueduct?

Never thought of that, that could be it. Thanks!

 

[IglooDame]

Dust allergies have been doing that to me over the past few years. Ralph, do your eyes ever suddenly water and get stingy for no apparent reason (like if you're watching tv in bed or the like)?

 

[Lillefix]

This year's cold is particularly bad I've heard. I'm suffering from it.

 

[Berzerker]

I used to think I had colds constantly but it was mainly just sinus problems. I've been using nasal spray (oxymet^*$##^&* or something) and it works great, but I'm "addicted" and its probably burning holes into my brain If I stop using the spray my sinuses will clog up badly for 2-3 days (they call it rebound I think) and then stabilize.

Sounds like I used to be. I read this old BBC article and got this stuff. Took it once a day and it's never been a problem since.

 

[Quackers]

Are you getting enough sleep?

 

[SerriaFox]

As a person who was born with a borderline immune system I fell you pain. And yes children are little germ factories.

Wash your hands frequently. Use separated towels. Eat a balanced diet and get plenty of sleep. Avoid physical contact with others unless you're getting laid.
