Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask around and check if there are others who are affected by common illnesses such as the cold/congestion and the flu and the best way to deal with this. I managed to go a whole year without catching a cold or getting the flu (although I work with children), however a few days ago, I came down with a bad cold that has only been getting worse. My counts are between 60 and 90 thousand, so not horrible, but Hemo stressed to stay away from pain meds like aspirin (duh) and other over the counter things.
I know that my immune system is weak and down all the time with my ITP but how do I fight this cold without meds? All I want to do is sleep. I am so weak and tired and congested, it's indescribable. I will get my count checked tomorrow but not sure how to fight the fatigue and boost my immune system in a holistic/natural way. Any tips?
