Sick Again

I feel like I am sick WAY too often. It might be relative. I mean, I super-duper hate being sick, so I might think it's far too often, when in fact, I am sick no more often than the next person. Honestly though, I believe my immune system is very inefficient. I seem to catch every communicable illness that gets within a square block of my mucus membranes. I do all the suggested hygeine. I wash my hands often. I try to keep my hands away from my face. I also eat LOTS of FRESH fruits and veggies, take supplements like vitamin C, probiotics & echinacea. I get sufficient amounts of sunshine, fresh air & exercise. So how do I get sick so often? WHY do I get sick so often?

I get sick so often, I am beginning to worry about my immune system, no kidding. Things like Lupus & HIV have crossed my mind. I mention this to my doctor during visits. He flips through my file, raises an eyebrow, then assures me that I seem perfectly normal. So maybe I am. Maybe I'm a hypochondriac. Maybe it's all relative.

I will be telling you, my imaginary friend, every time I'm sick. Then I will go back thru the blogs and see if I genuinely believe that I get sick TOO often. If I think I am, I will go back to the doctor and 'put my foot down' about it. If I don't think I get sick too often, I will chalk it up to being overly worrisome, and I will deal with that appropriately. Either way, I am very eager to get this statred.

So, in the spirit of getting things started with a bang...
I currently have Strep Throat...and it sux.
