Constant Sickness

[ACTcrazy]

Has anyone constantly been getting sick since having covid? Ever since I had it in July of last year, maybe a month or so afterward, I have been getting sick nonstop from stomach bugs, strep, and the main kicker which is cold/allergy like symptoms with sore throat, sinus, mucus, and sometimes coughing, etc... anything and everything! Not even exaggerating, I get sick every other week and at the most two weeks if I am very lucky. I feel good for a week at a time and it's usually when I'm on antibiotics. I have taken antiboitcs 4 times this year (it's only the beginning of May) for the cold/allergy symptoms because it always seems to return then turn into a sinus infection or just a horrid sickness that I can't get rid of without treatment. Over the counter medication seems to do absolutely nothing for me.. dayquil, nyquil, claritin, zyrtec, flonase, you name it... no relief. I've tried taking womens vitamins, all kinds of immune vitamins... nothing seems to improve or help. I even ended up getting c diff and landed in the hospital for about a week due to taking so many antibiotics... last course they put me on for 3 weeks... I am so afraid to get sick again... but I already feel it coming on now that I'm toward the end of the c diff issue.. sore throat started coming on yesterday and now I have that overall sick feeling coming on today with slight stuffy nose and mucus this morning. Please HELP!!!!!! I am so depressed. I cannot keep doing this, as it is taking my entire life from me. All I have time to do now is work then alternate between being sick and then spending the time I am well cleaning and catching up on housework I couldn't do while sick then cycle repeat. All I want is to be able to take my kids places and do something fun for once.. Doctors are no help. I have an allergy test scheduled, but I keep having to reschedule due to illness. I also just ordered a genetics kit to see if that turns up any kind of beneficial results. I am so desperate. Someone please help me... :(

I wish I had the answer because the same is happening to me. I’m seeing an Allergerist Nov 1 and hope for some resolution. I hear allergies are the worst for people this year. I didn’t get c-diff this time but I did get it after a partial colon resection 5 years ago. Have you tested for autoimmune diseases? I have Hashimotos and take Synthroid and it’s not my thyroid causing these symptoms. I am at my wits end. It’s miserable. I also have been checking into epigenetics and reading Dirty Genes. I’m told diet is everything and healthy lifestyle. I completely understand where you are at. Please let me know if you learn anything. I did allergy panels and the only thing that came back was grasses. I hope you are better.

After covid, if your infections were alot, yes many are not stable in their health.. Life is NOT Like before.. Keep doing steaming. eat healthy and focus on balanced diet. Sleep well and also have supplements... All the best. I am also in the same boat. Feeling cold, sinus, allergy , cold and chills.. Getting tired. I was on Oxygen for 2 weeks..

Most people don't have vitamin deficiencies so supplements can cause problems. Get your doc to check your levels with a blood test, instead of guessing that is the problem.
