UGH...I am so tired of being sick!!!!!!!!!!!

[BPelizabeth]

For the last 2 months my son and I have been taking turns being sick. I can't take it anymore. I sit here at home...watch movies, watch TV...(I might add there is NOTHING on during the day), sleeping, and surfing. It is driving me totally crazy. I think I have surfed this site and Fauna Classifieds for hours upon hours in a day. I hate sitting around...it is making me koo koo ka choo!!

So...I know that there have been tons of posts from me...its just cause I am so bored. Im not really a couch potatoe that sits on her computer all day.

Have you considered anything to help boost your immune system?

We all know how much people like to talk up Orange Juice for it's Vitamin C.

Oh yea....it would probably help if I didn't work at a school with a bunch of kids. Little germ monsters....lol

Little germ donkeys!

What about the "Airborne" stuff that the teacher supposedly came up with?

tried it...that stuff is nasty!! And I think something just came out on that stuff being bogus. I just think that my immune system hasn't gotten a chance to update. I just keep getting exposed to stuff before it can bounce totally back.

The hubby said it is my lack of eating veggies....

I will say this, Zinc is your friend this time of year.

If you go to any drug store and read the back of the packages for all that expensive stuff that says "clinically proven to shorten the duration of the common cold" it's all just Zinc and some other stuff.

Rather than spend $13 for 20 Zinc tablets with a fancy name, a buy a bottle of plain old Zinc for about $4 for 100 and I take it every day in the winter. It doesn't keep me from getting sick, but it sure does help me fight it off and bounce back sooner. Even my kids and my hubby take it. With three kids in three diffent schools, I was always catching one thing or another, and taking Zinc daily helps me and my family a lot. It might be worth a try for you.

Lol I was wondering if you ever left the house

You need some airborne! I live by that stuff!

EDIT, someone already suggested it It's not terrible. I get the grapefruit flavor. As long as you suck it down real quick it's not bad It's not really an immunity booster, it's just got TONS of vitamins in it. 1000+% of your daily intake of vitamin C, most of the others are around 600+% of your daily intake. It's got a lot of Zinc in it too. And you can take it three times a day so that's 3000+% of your daily intake for vitamin C.
