Hi i think it is the fibro that lowers our immune system i am very rarely ill and if iu am i normally shake it off within a few days but i have just had a chest infection it took me 2 weeks and 2 lots of anti biotic to get over it so i put it down to my body being totally run down due to six weeks prior to that having 1/3 hours sleep a night then getting that my body just shut down

i hope that you are ok bbless you it is horrible isnt it love to you diddle x

There is no doubt about it that our immune system takes a bashing with having Fibro, mine certainly has. It's got better the last year - I was diagnosed three years ago and in those days I caught every cold going, had the flu, constant sinus infections., but now my health is good. I didn't even had a cold this Winter! I have radically changed my diet, nothing artificial, no additives, no hydrogenated fats, colours or artificial flavours or preservatives and it's made a huge difference to my overall health. It's also cheaper to buy foods without all these things in as processed foods cost more. I still have Fibro, CFS/ME, but can manage it better if my overall health is better, it doesn't get me down as much as it used to. Hang on in there everyone, it can improve . . . .:) :)
