Ill ALL the time?

[Mikocat]

Does anyone else feel like they get ill ALL THE DAMN TIME? About once a month I seem to come down with some crappy virus that will knock me out for a couple of days, or I'll have a terrible headache or a ropey stomach. I feel like the world's biggest hypochondriac.

Hi Mikocat. I would be very interested to know what meds you are on. The gaba drugs Pregabalin and Gabapentin caused me back-to-back infections that were so serious I wound up in hospital 3 times! They stopped when I came off these drugs. Let us know what your probs are - I am sure hypochondria is not one of them! Best wishes. Lana

I take Celecoxib and Tramadol for pain relief. Also on Omeprazole for my stomach. I wonder if the constant strain on my muscles just means that tiredness takes it's toll.

Hey Mikocat. What kind of EDS do you have?? Do you know??

Not as often as that, but yes, I do feel like I get sick more than most. I am also more cautious than most, I often wash my hands, eat as well as I can etc. but find myself getting sick more often than those around me. It is very annoying.
