frequent colds

[melbidd]

Since I was young, I've always had frequent colds.  I usually have around 10-13 per year, sometimes more.  I get a cold for 1-2 weeks, then two or three weeks free, then another one.  Since I started my second year of university this september, I've had 3 colds.  One that lasted 2 weeks, I was okay for around 2 weeks, another one that lasted 1 week, then 1 week free, and now it's already been about 2 weeks and it's not going away.  
I have :
- constant sore throat (even between colds)
- I'm constantly tired, even though I get at least 8-9 hours of sleep every night
- post-nasal drip (I've had this for a few years now)
- One painful, swollen gland under my jaw (it feels a bit bigger than a bean, a bit hard).
- full body myoclonus (body jerks)
- constant cough (dry and wet, it changes), I've had this since I was very young, and I have puffers that help (asthma)
- cold sores
- frequent headaches, and migraines (I have a prescription for this)
- frequent pneumonia and bronchitis (I've had around 7-8 in 5 years)

What can I do to lower the frequency of my colds?

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) helps neutralize bacteria, viruses, and environmental toxins before they can infect and damage body cells.  A person with an IgG deficiency is likely to experience recurring respiratory infections that can cause bronchitis, pneumonia, and obstructive lung disease. Chronic sinus infections, influenza, and bacteria related skin infections are also common.

There are five major classes of antibodies: IgG (constitutes 75% of serum immunoglobulins), IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE.

The classes of immunoglobulins can de divided into subclasses.:

IgG Subclasses - IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4

IgA Subclasses: IgA1, IgA2

Myoclonus is most often associated with a wide variety of nervous system disorders however in your case most likely to be in response to infection.

To add, vitamin D is a natural antibiotic. One study found vitamin D insufficiency was linked to a 50% increase in the risk of severe asthma attacks.  Another study found people with the lowest blood vitamin D levels reported having significantly more recent colds or cases of the flu. The risks were even higher for those with chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma.  Vitamin D council recommend optimal vitamin D levels - 80ng/mL or 200nmol/L.
