I have another cold....

Perth, Australia
April 16, 2021 8:58am CST
But are we really surprised? I wanted to go to Prac today to try finish off more work but I woke up feeling awful. For the past 3 - 4 days my throat had been hurting which is how it always starts. Then the runny nose and coughing started but this morning it was truly so bad. I just couldn't go into Prac. Wouldn't be allowed to anyway. I'm annoyed because I was doing so well for 2 weeks straight thinking I had finally beaten catching viruses from the children but right as my course finishes and right where I am wanting to finish everything, I get sick so unfortunately I need to put things on a bit of a delay. I am hoping a week tops! Then get back into it and finish it. Then from there once my work is marked, I will get my certificate. I slept all day which was good! I needed the sleep. So I am going to just relax, watch Netflix and MyLot. It's all I feel like doing. I hope everyone is well. Will see you around.

@anil02 I can imagine that being apart of getting sick. I mainly get colds in the Summer but my colds lately have been due to being around many children in the childcare.

So you ever take vitamin c? That might help you stay away from cold at least. Drink plenty of water and good fluids to clean out your system.

@VivaLaDani13 that sounds like a plan. Are the kids young and are they sick first? If your not in the public much especially before the pandemic hit it's possible your body hasn't had all those viruses in the past to build up immunities for them and related ones.

@MarshaMusselman They are between a baby to 5 years old. I can only assume it's what you said as I've got sick every single time I've gone to Prac. This time it took a bit longer for me to get sick but I still did. And it's said by every educator I've talked to about it, they say if you're not used it to / not immune to the viruses then you will just get sick. Just taking a little bit longer for me to get used to it for some reason.

@MarshaMusselman Sure have. I do whatever I can do help fight colds but whenever I am better I will be having some tests done as the doctors want to check what may need to be addressed with my immune system / as to why I get sick easily and for so long.

I am sorry you aren't feeling okay. For the past days my throat hurts too. I was out for work from April 8 and 9, 12 and 13. I went to work on the 14th and 15th then out again 16th. I was not feeling ok.

Try to take a couple of Vitamin D tablets every day to boost your immune system.

@Juliaacv I am on these immune tablets but not sure whether to switch to something else as I've been on them for months and months. Not sure what to do at this point. When better I will be getting some tests done with the doctors to see if they can pin point the issue as to why I get sick easily and for so long.

@Robinhuut That is good. Yeah I am doing all the right things to try get rid of them. I have been sick a lot due to Prac in childcare so I'm very used to this. It is frustrating though every time.

@marlina Thank you so much. Unfortunately not really. I think I'm still in about the middle of it but the cough is what will linger for a long time I'm afraid.

@marlina I haven't spoken to a doctor this time because all they will do is send me for a Covid test and I'm so sick of them. Plus, they only tell me if I have Covid or not instead of telling me what I actually have. So when I'm better, I am going to be having blood tests to check my immune system as well as anything else that could be causing the linger coughs.

I am so sorry, I think that you must find a way to boost your immune system. You are getting those annoying cold all the time, working with kids it is easy to get colds.

@VivaLaDani13 I understand and you are right, you need not to get too close to the children for a while to get better.

@LadyDuck Very true. I feel bad because when a child wants to sit on my lap I act a little like I'm trying to keep away from fire.

@LadyDuck Thank you Anna. It will be so much easier to go in to see a doctor once I am better but more so when I am done with everything I need to do with the children so I can get away from them for awhile (not in a mean way) so I can stay away from viruses and be better again

@VivaLaDani13 Better to get all that sickness over and done with now than to have to deal with it all later when you're working. But it still makes me sad when I hear that you're not feeling well. Too bad I can't come over there and nurse you back to health.

@moffittjc Well honestly it's really p*ssing me off and to be even more honest, I have very little interest in doing this for a career. I used to have an interest but after the experience, I don't want this anymore. So I'm a bit lost / confused on what to do right now. Yes I want a job to start earning money but I also want to be happy and this isn't making me happy very much.

@moffittjc Yes sir, sick again. I still plan on going to get tests done to see how my immune system etc is but will do that once I am completely done with childcare stuff and away from the children and am feeling cold free. Thank you so much.

It doesn't sound good. Your immunity has probably weakened. You're right, you need to relax a little and get some sleep.
