    I was very strong until 3 years ago. When i had cold or flu it would have gone in couple of hours. But 3 years ago we had to have the swine flu jab and after that i do get cold constantly and it makes feel like I am dying each time. I think that jab made my body weaker. I wish i could turn the clock back now:(

    Sorry to hear that it's a nasty business:mad:

    Hi, everyone:)
    As some of you know, I'm in Rochester visiting my brother. Reason is my wife and I are 'having a break' When I got here my car has been crashed into, causing a few £ hundred damage!
    But I had a lovely brilliant day on Sat with Calmspirit:A
    After our meeting, I went to sada and I apparently lost my phone, I didn't know until the police turned up at 5am to ask if i'm ok!
    Reason was that whoever found my phone sent nasty and filthy messages to my wife saying I was dead!!!
    !!!!!!! android phones.
    I've got the phone back as it was handed in to a police station near where I am and it was coincidence that i reported it, but no sim card or memory stick, so I have to start the phone from scratch.

    I thought I was going away for a 'break' but it's been a bloody nightmare.!
    Sorry for the rant, but I had to get out!!
    !!!!!!! Fuming though
    0 scamps thats terible who would do such a thing
    You are really going through it at the moment,
    just keep thinking things will get better soon.
    Ive had a really bad year myself but instead of letting things get me down ive decided to stay positive and look on the bright side, you cannot alter things that happen in life but you can change your outlook and how you percieve things
    big hugs to you.:grouphug:

    What's your diet like, is it balanced? plenty of fruit and veg? you appear to be concentrating on the cure rather than the prevention? I would take a high dose vit c supplement with zinc to ward off the lurgies!! also Echinacea a coupla times a day during the outbreak to shorten it length!:DHTH

    Thanks!

    I try my best to eat healthily but rarely do. To be honest not loads of fruit and veg, was taking the glitching boots vit c tablets and tbh didn't really see them affecting me at all, still kept coming down with colds, will look for the ones you mentioned though.;)
    To the poster who gets lots of colds:

    It might sound a bit strange, but I work in a shop on till serving customers all the time and would often come down with colds I've caught from them until I started becoming fastidious about washing my hands (not in an ocd way) after going to the loo (properly, not just a quick rinse;)), after my shift and when I got home from work or shopping and especially before I ate anything. I used wipes in the car if I was eating a snack and I can say that in the last 12 months I've had 2 colds. One DS1 brought home from uni and the other was just a mild sniffle for a few days.

    I was a bit sceptical about this but have definately noticed the difference.

    I really do believe you're right! :DI work with kids and have noticed that it usually is during term time, always wash my hands before food but may try to do it more often during school times, after activities e.t.c:A

    We had really bad colds just beofre Christmas, one virus after another laid us low and I even lost my voice which of course everyone thought was hilarious :(

    Since then we have been taking vitamin c and zince tablets which you dissolve in water and it gives a foul orange fizzy drink. But we have not had colds of any sort since

    If you go to Sainsburys you get 3 tubes for £1.60 each and its always 3 for 2 so its very good value. Make sure you get vit c and zinc effervense tables - not just the vitamin c ones.

    (Dont go to Boots, so many versions and varieties its too confusing)

    Thanks for this! hope my sainsburys local stock it!:DBy foul orange fizzy drink, hope you mean it looks nasty but tastes great!:T :rotfl:
