Sick - ThinnerTimes

Hello all,
It seems like ever since my surgery I get sick alot. Since my surgery I have gotten a cold 4 times. That is 4 times in 6 months. Now before surgery I usually got sick once a year. Is this normal or do you think I'm not getting enough vitamins. I am taking everything they told me to take and haven't stopped. Please help.

Sheesh, Larry, I don't know. Maybe your immune system is down. You might try taking some more B & C vitamins. Good luck!

Or general nutrition...Do all your labs check out? What is weird for me, is that members of my family have been sick several times since surgery, but I have not gotten anything! I think it is because this is the first time I've ever taken my vitamins on a regular basis.

Ask your doctor??

On the other hand, are you out more, doing more things? Maybe you're just exposed to more germs...

Thanks,
I have my 6 month check up with my Dr. in 2 weeks. I am thinking I need to take more Vits. also but I will ask him and maybe I will suggest a blood work up.

Larry:
You may be experiencing allergies, coupled with the body changes from the surgery. A blood workup will give you all your answers.

That sucks. I'm actually much healthier than I used to be. I used to get sick pretty frequently but now I'm healthy as a horse. Yeah, have the doc check your levels and see if any of your levels is low
