Will I ......

Get through winter without an infection. Who knows.

I do my best with food, exercise and avoiding ill people. But, from tomorrow, I will be on trains about 2 to 3 days each week working. GERMS!

So far, so good though.

Good Luck Lynne, I know I would be far more advanced in my illness if I was still working and sharing space with those infected, never mind going out in the cold damp weather when already trying to keep my lungs happy.

Hopefully you will get through the winter in to spring without getting any kind of infection,

you seem to look after yourself quite well,

so good luck,

I do everything I can like you to keep myself well - it's when you bring in the random Factor of other folk the difficulty starts! I'm flying on Thursday - I'm practising my 'evil eye' for the splutterers!

Good luck Lnne!

Tea tree oil just inside nostrils if you can bear it or if not, dilute in a little odourless oil so smell not so strong. On scarf is a great idea too as suggested by kimmy59. Handgel, tissues etc. all good to have. You seem to be doing well so far so here's hoping! Take care. xx

I can't get throught the summer without getting an infection, so if you've got this far through the winter without getting one I'm really impressed - and more than a little envious!

Stay well!

13 years ago . I was on a flight to South Africa and sat opposite a very unwell, sneezing lady. I was ill whilst I was in AS and that set my health for the future. Pneumonia a few weeks later. The rest is history for me ..all the usual stuff with meds --- so I understand your worries. Take all precautions as advised. And get on with life!!
