MyDysautonomia Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have been taking much better care of myself in the last six months, but have still contracted serious viruses and bacterial infections twice now in the last month, which have taken me off work for a week at a time each time. I had surgery last fall, but was off for two months recovering. All the usual things that I do to take care of myself with dysautonomia and POTS are not enough. Not only am I getting sick badly, but I feel really unwell basically every day, due to the chronic health conditions. Does anyone have tips to offer for boosting immunity and feeling better overall?

toomanyproblems Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 What kind of food do you eat? They're now saying 80% of our immune system is in our gut. I have a lot of autoimmune diseases, CRPS and POTS and have been studying and working hard to improve my gut heath over the last couple of years. I'm on three immunosuppressive drugs and have been catching "bugs" every time I go out as it seems, even though I go out rarely.You may already be doing all the right things. Just asking. Maybe I'll learn something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymph Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've always been one to catch whatever is going around. For the past year I have been taking probiotics (mixed types, high count), and I have been almost miraculously well. Despite being around lots of kids, I have only gotten fully sick once. I am now a believer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
