I have a useless immune system. I get sick a lot. Mostly sore throats/tonsillitis and colds, but I also succumb rather frequently to stomach bugs.
I know that being active is one way of building up the immune system, but I'm somewhat handicapped in that respect by the swollen knee issue that's been plaguing me since October last year. I am starting zumba classes soon because my osteopath wants to see what it will do to me (and because they look fun), and I'm supposed to be walking a lot more, but I can't do that because I keep getting sick. It compounds.
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.
