i dont know if im the only one here, and i hate to sound like a baby. but i am cursed with a weak immune system. i have an inherited condition from my mom where the body pretty much overworks itself. thyroid and metabolism are linked to it- and it's too early for me to take meds for it. her mom has it too. i do not get a cold like a normal person. instead if i get one, i get a fever of 101, bronchitis, eye infection (i dont even touch my eyes!), sinus infection, etc. the only way i can get over a cold is staying in- i mean not doing anything til i'm completely better. or the infection will just spread to the conditions i mentioned above and i'll be sick for a month! regular meds such as nyquil, etc. do not work for me. they often make me worse. my mother is the same. the same w the flu, etc. (i collapsed in the er and was rushed to a bed and put on iv last year)
right now i'm home cause i've had a high fever with vomiting. no idea what brought it on and it doesnt feel like the flu. i do eat VERY healthy, take vitamins, exercise, plenty of rest- so does mom. but again it ties in to this genetic condition that makes us more ill. my mother almost died having me.
so i dance. why? because i can make $$$ more easily and take off work if i need to. it sucks, but there's no other option. i am unable to work a reg job. i used to and i was SICK.
am i the only one out here with this issue? i really dont work sick- i made this mistake one time and got a fever of 103! sometimes i feel guilty, but i nkow my body and it doesnt react well to running around naked.
