What are you doing to stay healthy ??

I am home with a cold/sinus infection and I feel terrible. I am on antibiotics, but I want to prevent getting any more sick than I already am.

I am sure that I caught it because I am exhausted and run down...

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to make sure my sinuses are OK - I was up half of last night cause I was in PAIN from sleeping on either side - my ears were like they were punctured with a knife!!!

The weather can't be helping from an allergy perspective. I just make sure lots of water throughout the day and take my vitamins in the morning without fail. I would try to get a good nights sleep but I've always been a bad sleeper ...

I am trying to eat right and exercise. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and make sure I get at LEAST 7 hours of sleep a night. But, I ALWAYS seem like I am tired lately. But, I know it will better in 3 weeks!!

Thanks... I have to go get some vitamins. Any suggestions? I was taking the 'one a day weight smart' but they made me feel badly. My sister had the same reaction to them.

I take GNC Womens Ultra Mega (I think that's what it's called). They are HUGE and if you don't swallow quick enough taste very yucky!!

i have to tell you girls.....i was so petrified that i would get sick for my wedding that i was taking 1000mg of vitamin C every day for 2 weeks up to the wedding that is WAY to much to take, it upsets your stomach lining. A lower dose or 1000mg every couple of days should be ok to boost your immune system.

I'm starting to feel crappy ...

So I got some echinaccea (sp?) and also got allergy & nasal spray from the dr when I had my Imitrex rx refilled.

fingers crossed

I am not feeling so great either. Feels like a cold coming on...my chest and throat have some wierd burning sensation...although it could be allergies.

I am taking echinacea and lots of vitamins!

Re: What are you doing to stay healthy ??

I am going to the doctor today...I still have a sore throat...I actually think its Post Nasal Drip...but if i need antibiotics...i rather start them and be better for Sat.

Re: What are you doing to stay healthy ??

Apparently I am doing nothing to 'stay' healthy!! My throat has started killing me and I definitely feel like I'm getting sick. I already started taking Clarinex and spraying Flonase!!! AGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Re: What are you doing to stay healthy ??

Clarinex is what the doctor gave me. I took it last night...hope I start feeling better soon. He said its definitely not an infection so no antibiotics need....
