What snoop said. Michael Send a noteboard - 31/03/2011 12:58:31 PM
Can't beat a good leechin'
:P
So. Echinacea tablets are a short-term aid because you aren't supposed to take them for more than a week at a time.

Any other tips that I can try? I am so tired of being ill, missing work, and feeling crap about that.

Exercise is good. If you can't weight bear well, then swimming is excellent.
Echinacea, for what it is worth can be taken for three months. It is supposed to help prevent respiratory infections.
Gut upsets are harder, there have been a lot doing the rounds this winter, more than usual. The only way to avoid them is rigourous hand washing. Do you carry alcohol hand gel? Get in the habit of using this before your hands go anywhere near your mouth and it should help stop the transmission of a lot of viral infections.

Some people swear by 1g of vitamin C per day, but there's not a lot of evidence to support it.
The Monday Cafe - open when I damn well feel like it

I blame Alric
