We’re barely into fall and I’m already sick with a cold. I remember when I used to rarely get sick but now I seem to be getting sick at least twice a year. I always just get a cold and nothing serious but I am a bit concerned by the frequency. My symptoms are usually always the same – sore throat, runny nose, feeling dizzy and tired – that get progressively worse for the first few days before I start to recover.
So it was with great interest when I read Suzanne’s flu prevention plan: http://www.hse.ubc.ca/healthpromotion/healthyubc/Healthy_UBC_Newsletter/healthyubcoct.html#flu. Suzanne shares some tips on how to stay healthy during the flu season. I have followed most of the tips Suzanne mentions in a conscious effort to prevent the flu/cold but I still managed to get sick. The only thing I wasn’t able to do was to avoid people who are sick. This was very hard to follow when everyone around me has been ill – family, friends, co-workers. In an effort not to spread my germs to people around me, I keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with me that I use constantly.
