Folks,
Perhaps you might be able to help.
4 years ago, during a holiday on the content, I picked up a flu-like viral infection.
In effect, for six months, I was kaput with flu-like symptoms.
Aching muscles, nasal congestion, sore eyes, headache, sweating/shivering : basically feeling dreadful.
I underwent a series of medical tests (blood tests, lymph tests etc, chest x-rays).
Nothing irregular showed up.
My local doctor and the hospital, diagnosed anti-biotics to cure the ailmentn and rest.
In time, these symptoms passed.
However, since then I have picked up very bad colds several times per year : I'm not talking about regular 1 - 2 day colds.
The colds that I manage to pick up are 7 - 8 day affairs : in effect they feel like mild flu.
I've tried every type of concoction to boost my immune system to prevent me from getting colds.
I have ingested vitamin C each day (1000mgs per day) : I've made sure to eat a balanced diet : made sure I get plenty of rest.
Yet each year my system succmbs to catching very heavy colds.
Does anyone else get heavy colds?
What do you do fight them?
Or what do you do to help prevent picking up colds?
All advice appreciated.
