Ha, Oak, I hardly get sick at all, compared to the past! My last major illness was in February. The rest is allergies. I've tried elderberry and I saw no benefit.
Murienn, I do have asthma, but it's basically a non-issue now, unless I get sick. When I lived in AZ, I was on a nebulizer every 4 hours. Since moving here, I have been pretty much symptom free, unless, I get a sinus infection or other normal cold and then sometimes, it will migrate. I have tried allergy shots at 3 different times in my life. Every time, they just give me an asthma attack... since it's not too much of an issue now, I deal with it with Claritin and Flonase, which do help. I really don't have tree/pollen allergies, just mold and a few foods. Now that I live in a house that is almost all hardwood, it's another major improvement.
I think some of the part that annoys me is it seems to take me longer to get better now. I know my immune system sucks, so I baby myself and try not to go back to activity too soon. Not easy for me. I went to boot camp this morning; it was a sub, which was a good thing. I was able to do the whole class, but I definitely had trouble with some of the weight repetitions near the end of each set. There wasn't really much cardio, except to warm up, which also was good.
I'll do a little ride tomorrow morning, if it's not raining. Yesterday, I got caught in torrential rain and tornado warnings while leaving a client's house, resulting in a mad drive back to my office in the worst conditions I have ever seen. It was only 2 miles, but I was scared to death. More predicted today, but at least I'll be closer to home.
