Hello
I had viral meningitis 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I have had frequent viruses that take me weeks to recover from. I get tonsellitis, general sore throats, chest infections, sore ears, colds, nausea, tiredness, and hot sweats. I have just spent the last 4 weeks in bed with such things. Sometimes I just get nausea and triedness for a couple of hours and then it goes away, and sometimes I get it for weeks and it is totally debilitating. I also get reflux. I used to take losec for this, but an alternative doctor I go to thinks that this is stopping me digesting my food properly. No doctors know what's wrong and I'm feeling desparate! I have no sick leave left and I have to keep putting my goals on hold. I really struggle not to collapse into a depressed heap when I get sick yet again. Does any of this sound familiar, or am I a unique case?
Regards
Kate

Have you had your immune system checked? You could be suffering from a low immune system . Ask your doctor about this.

Hi Vamp
Thanks for your reply. I have been to an immunologist. My bloods came back with a slightly low IgG1 level, (3.9), but he doubts that this is low enough to account for my symptoms. This is the only blood test (and I've had many) that has come back abnormal. I've been to many doctors and tried wierd alternative stuff!
thanks
