A combination of my kids getting a bit older (and me getting more sleep) plus all the preventative respiratory measures - steroid inhaler and flonase every day - have so far kept me from sinking low into a chronic infection and horrible asthma as I have in years past. My issue is obviously different from yours, but it's the same kind of <br />"sense of impending doom" at the first sign of a cold - like, is this going to last for four weeks and require nebulizer treatments? EFF ME. So glad you're feeling better now, and hope to see more blog posts. I'm glad I follow you on instagram!

BTW, when I read of your sickness s...Great socks! <br /><br />BTW, when I read of your sickness symptoms (the body aches particularly), I'm reminded of myself when I was at your age and stage. It's brutal when the kid gets sick (and better again in 4 minutes, happily) but you're down for the count for weeks. The one thing I'd suggest is that you look into body work (or MELT method, yoga tune up) for myofascial pain. You might be experiencing that as a corollary to your primary illness trigger. What I find now is that I can feel myofascial pain start to happen as I'm under the weather and, by working on the fascia, I can avoid or vastly diminish the symptoms of potential sickness. Now a cold is just a cold - not a week in bed with hideous body aches. And I'm rarely sick these days (though I am out of the kid as germ incubator phase). I swear, I'm not trying to be an armchair alternative medical practitioner! I rarely suggest this to peeps, much less over the internet, but your long-term symptoms, which I've read about for years, really resonate.<br /><br />You're a full-time working mother with 2 kids in a seriously hardcore urban centre. You're a wife, a person who manages a home. And then there's the urge to be a human being in your own right, every once in a while! You're basically functioning on everybody else's terms 99 per cent of the time and it's very likely going to to continue to take a toll (esp. as you move through your 30s into your 40s) unless you get to the root of the issue. <br /><br />Feel free to ignore me (or to tell me to mind my business!) - I'm not trying to tell you how it is. But if this resonates, a great naturopath might be the next doc to visit (even if your allopathic docs are wonderful for managing symptoms and full blown illness).
