So I'm having a bit of a wobble and just wondered if anyone else had experienced this before.
Basically, I caught Covid last August and whilst I escaped with fairly mild symptoms compared to many people, ever since I had it I feel like my immune system is really messed up.
I had a cold a month or so after Covid and then at the beginning of November I had a 24 hour stomach bug. Fast forward to Jan and I had a stinking cold that laid me up for a couple of day and now this week I've gone down with another 24 hour stomach bug.
I'm starting to panic not so much about the colds as it's been winter and I work in schools so that's pretty standard but the stomach bugs, I've never had two in such quick succession.
So whilst the symptoms were classic stomach bug symptoms, vomiting and diarrhoea which stopped within a few hours and then left me with a banging headache and feeling washed out I'm worrying about why I've caught 2 in a few months particularly when I can normally go years between them.
I am very stressed at the moment due to work, and generally feeling there aren't enough hours in the day and my diet hasn't been great and to be honest lacking in fruit and veg but I'm still stressing and starting to go down the route or some sort of cancer, pancreatic, liver, stomach etc.
It's not helping that I'm turning 50 in a few days and feeling more anxious as a lot of these horrible illnesses become more likely.
Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?
