Bad Start to the new year

[Beverley_F]

Wow what a start to the new year... Virus, Chest infection, Injection for torn hamstring on Fri and op to replace my Broken replacement knuckles in next couple of weeks. I know biologics are good but they can make us ill too with infections, this is my 3 since July and I have them for weeks, any tips to try and stay germ free apart from the obvious. Many Thanks

It's hard to avoid this time of year, but notice you say 3rd since July. I have in the past, noticed I get a couple of colds fairly close together and they take forever to go and then nothing for a couple of years. I find Vick very good at night, plus hot water, lemon and honey as a drink as often as needed. Plus a good diet rich in veg and Vit C and if possible keep rested and this time of year warm. Sorry to hear of you needing you replacement knuckles replaced, I had new knuckles about 10 years ago and fortunately still ok, notice my fingers drifting a bit more though. Things often come at once and drag us down. Take good care of yourself and good luck with the op. X
