First, there was Christmas Blue now, it's christmas flu
I guess this was due to much sleeping late that I ended up getting sick and weak.
Despite of that I have to make sure that i get my laundry done. but took me the whole week because i needed extensive rest.
Now, yet again i have to slow down in going to participate in mylot again

The weather nowadays, is what makes people sick with cold and even cough. It would sometimes be sunny in the morning and then suddenly it would drizzle.
Yes, having little sleep also makes your immune system weak. Thus you will be susceptible to a flu or a cold or a combination of colds and cough.

Hello Simplyd,
I think having little sleep actually contributes to making the immunity system weak. keeping you from getting healthy. idon't know why am having sleep late nights, i hate it so much. but when ever there's internet i can't help but look at the sites that i love to check.

Letran, from your laptop or computer is what is keeping you awake despite it's being late in the night already.
If you want to be sleepy, read a book, lying down, with a bedside light from a lampshade. In a little while, you will feel sleepy already.

Oh well I guess it is common that you get to catch flu or colds in this time of the season. I think most of the immune system gets low at this time of the year because of the changing climate from hot and humid to cold and dry. I just feel lucky I have with me some vitamins and an anti flu vaccine I had taken months before this season came in. Now I am pretty in a good shape and so far no flu or colds that hit ma bad this year and I am thankful for that.

Yeah it is hard especially in my case that I am working I do need to have a body that could tolerate the stress at work and also at home when you still have to attend to some household chores after work. Good thing our office has shouldered the vaccination cost of everybody since I think it is beneficial for them as well since there is lesser absences due to sickness because of this vaccine. It has help me a lot lessening my sick leaves as well thus keeping me present always.

Hello Rsa101,

I'm sorry you feel so awful! I remember the last time I got a cold, about 6 years ago. It had been so long since I'd had one that I thought I had something serious! Colds are so miserable and they hang on for a long for some people.
Chicken soup is good for a cold and scientists have even proven that it is. So drink some chicken soup, let your body sleep when it wants to and drink lots of water to flush out that bad stuff. I hope you feel better soon!

If you want to stay healthy, let your immune system work! Here in the US people get sick often because their immune systems are never challenged or exposed to germs. They wash their hands at every opportunity and use hand sanitizer throughout the day. Their system is never challenged so doesn't build antibodies up as protection. I rarely wash my hands and don't disinfect my house every day like many do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dirty and neither is my house but I don't try to avoid germs and viruses that are a natural part of life.
So don't be afraid of germs, they are your friend and will make your immune system strong!

Having not enough sleep may cause your immune system to become weak, do you take vitamins? You better take one, Vit C can help and here's what I usually do if I have a cold, double dose of Vit C, drink a lot of fluids and eat fruits. Don't worry Vit C doesn't have any overdose effect, it will just secrete directly to your urine if you had a lot of it in your body. But if your tummy is acidic, might as well use Sodium Ascorbate.

You might try Kiwi as well, I love it especially if it is not really ripe, I love it to be in the middle, not so ripe but not so unripe. It has a good pack of Vitamin C and fiber. And yeah, you might experience stomach pain if take too much citric juices. =)

Hello nytrisco,
Since the day i got that darn colds and flem problems, i have been drinking a lot of calamansi juice lately with tea added. I will only drink it twice a day and won't spent too much time on the juice.yeah, i've been told about not drinking too much juice because it may contain acidic problems.

I know how you feel, as my children have all had colds, also lost their voices, no sooner they get over one thing there is another.
I am pleased to say no flu, but most of us here have all had a flu jab, so lets hope none of us get ill over christmas.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hello Jenny1015,
It's not really easy to just recover like that because not only i still sleep late but i got tons of things to do even though i have sickness. well, even though i have recovered a little i still need to be careful with spending time with mylot rather than spending it lightly.

I guess that the reason why you have been absent for a while. Me, I'm in a conflicting turn of mental stress and I think my dog just caught a flu or cold. He's not eating and drinking and I dread a vet's visit. I really do think I also need rest but the nagging feeling of doing too much rest is also quite troubling to my mind.

Well I guess you need to really stay away from using the laptop for sometime and get a full rest. My mom's been sick to for some days, fever and flu. I guess it's because of the change of season which is why lots of people are getting sick. Take meds and rest; and for sure you'll be fine.
