Hi Theresa thankyou for your message that's interesting to know you also suffer with colds and sinus issues,is your doctor aware of this and has or is he able to give you anything to boost your immune system,last Christmas I had cold after cold my doctor at the time put it down to possibly bad luck getting so many colds,by then we was in march and not as many virus were present so it did get better.I thought I was improving last night and it's come back again this morning ,so looking at visiting the doctor soon if it doesn't go .
Many thanks for your message

Hi Annette, my heart goes out to you. I have experienced the same issues with colds and sinus infections constantly. It's so frustrating and depressing to be sick and to not get over it. I try my best to eat healthy, get plenty of rest, and know my limits. The best to you!
Hi Jim ,I think you were the tonic I needed yesterday thankyou for your information on the vitamins to look at I bought most of what you mentioned ,I'm going to shield myself more when out in crowded areas and see if things improve ,the honey is an interesting on I didn't realise it helped with bacterial and viral bugs although it's not my favourite stuff I will give it a try and keep some in the cupboard for emergencies.Hiw are you doing today Jim ?

Good Day Annette, I do hope that you are feeling better today. Your immune system might be somewhat challenged. As for the constant presence of Chills, I am thinking that you are possibly dealing with Lo Grade fevers, notorious for such. Do you have a vitamin regimen? Might I suggest the following to bolster one's immune system: Zinc, Vitamins A, D, & C, and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). *** Speak with your Doc about the dosing of 'Fat Soluble Vitamins', namely A & D ***
You should Not have to continually feel like you currently are. Definitely speak with your healthcare provider regarding your condition and ask how you should proceed. Avoid Paracetamol (Tylenol) as it has the potential to cause harm to your liver. Also, get out and partake of fresh air and sunshine! Ultraviolet B rays from the Sun act on a Vit D precursor (a cholesterol compound, 7-DHC), producing additional Vit D... and we all can use the fresh air.
And just perhaps... make yourself a cup of Tea .... ***But Add Natural Honey*** Honey has immune modulatory effects (strengthening the Immune System). It is also a great antioxidant which bolster immune function. Possibly more importantly, and especially with your situation, Honey possesses antimicrobial properties which can fight off both bacteria and viruses
I do wish you well and hope that you feel better soon. Njoy your evening! Jim
People with PBC often experience changes in their immune system function. Research shows that PBC affects T cells (important immune system cells), with people having lower numbers of these cells that also work differently compared to those without PBC. This can impact how your body responds to infections and may explain why Show Full Answer
