I can't say that anymore...
I've always been proud of being able to say, "I don't get sick" Yes, I have hayfever which gets quite bad in September; Yes, I have a little asthma; Yes, I have numerous aches and pains. A little arthritis. But generally, I don't get sick. For years now at work, people have had time off with such things as colds, flu, sore throats, gastro etc. It's a high risk occupation, we're daily in contact with many hundreds of people, who may or may not be contagious at any time. I just didn't catch these things. I haven't had the flu ever. But in the last 10 months, I've had gastro (once), a cold twice, and migraine after migraine after migraine. My good record is gone. Wiped out. I'm no longer the girl who never gets sick, always available to fill in a shift for someone else who is sick. I'm guessing this is in part due to the stress and worry I've had which saw me moping around, not eating properly, not sleeping well....
