My immune system has always been pretty strong. When everyone in the house were down with flu and throat infection, I hardly caught the bug. Ever since Baby C’s monthly UTI attacks 8 months ago, my immune system has been going downhill. All the worries, anxiety, sleepless nights and interrupted sleep are suffocating my immune system. Sherilyn and hubby have beeen down with a strep throat and cough for the past few days and today, I caught the bug. I feel so listless and weak. My throat hurts, my entire body feels achy, my head feels heavy and throbbing and I feel breathless. I’ve been sucking on Difflam lozenges for the strep throat, gargling my throat with salt water and drinking water (coconut water, loh hon koa herbal drink and plain water) like a camel till I feel so bloated. Also running to the loo to pee non-stop! Have no appetite to eat anything. Darn the irritating throat. I need sleep. I think I’ll skip gym/jogging tomorrow and get an hour of extra sleep. Am praying that Baby C and Alycia won’t catch the virulent bug too, otherwise I will check myself into Tg. Rambutan madhouse! I can’t cope handling 3 sick kittens and being sick myself.

aiyo…poor you. I know it’s hard to be so sick yourself and not hvg the strength to move, but yet forced to.
I pray for a fast recovery.
sorry to hear this, shireen. hope you will feel better soon. why not take some millenium juice yourself too. a tablespoon a day to build up the immune system. you take it easy, ok.
Hi,
I read your blog regularly, and just wanted you to know that I wish good health to you and your family. May you all recover FAST !!
One suggestion though: if you don’t mind: Use Soda bi-carb in place of salt to gargle; because the salt causes more irritation. We (I am from India) use turmeric to counter the infection/phlegm in the throat.
Take care & let me know if you try it out !!
Warm regards.
Oh and by the way, can I add your blog link to my blog?
oh no.. rest more and get well soon
You need plenty of rest, Shireen. Hope you will feel better tomorrow. Take care.
Neelum… yes you can add my blog to your blog. Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to get a can of soda bicarbonate tomorrow!
do u practice by sleeping in different rooms??? my parents did that, n now i practice that too.. it works good for me cos if the adult does not get well, the cycle will just continue…
Hi there, sad to hear that you guys are sick. I am a believer of natural healing. What about trying some vinegar enzyme? They helps to improve our immune systems. Honey, esp leatherwood honey is very effective for sore throat. I did it on my bf, it works!
get well soon. if all doesn’t work. try chinese medicine. They don’t make u sleepy like the western one. Let me know if you want chinese doctor contact at Pandan Jaya, 3 day medicine, no need to boil, just add hot water n drink. I’m sick n taking his meds now.
Poor Mummy… me myself also just recovered from flu and sore throat! Take good care and rest well!
oh shireen, luckily baby C is getting bigger now. hopefully she heal faster. take care, dear!
You really need health booster to maintain your low immune. Mummy always got no luxury time to get sick…kids and work are forever there waiting us…
If can, pls consider Teviron products…can let u feel energetic even with less sleeping hours…
my kids have been sick on and off since b4 CNY! i hate the weather!
