I was just wondering does anyone else get lots of colds/viruses?
I started working in an infant school 4 years ago and the first 18 months seemed to get everything going. Then I seemed to hit a plateau where I got things but not often and most of the time they were just mild sniffles that didn't come to much.
At the start of this year I got a bad bout of food poisioning and since then I seem to catch every cold going. I also changed my job in June and instead of working in one school I now work in several so again coming into contact with lots of germs but I feel like I either get a cold or am getting a cold every few weeks.
The weird thing is my nose is so dry it never materialises into a full cold and only seems to affect one side.
I have an appt with ENT because I'm snoring really badly too and my mouth, nose, throat and eyes feel constantly dry but I'm wondering if I've got allergies which are making me more susceptible.
I know stress and anxiety weakens the immune system and it goes without saying that I'm stressed most of the time but just wondered if anyone else with HA feels they got lots of colds.
