IT goes on and on and on...

I am sick of DD being on anti biotics, It cost a fortune for a startand it cant be good for her in the end. My house is clean- we eat lots of healthy food.

What do I do?

DD and I are both casual at work so if we dont work we dont get paid, but still have to pay for daycare if DD doent go. Im at my whits end...We just need to get better....HELP! Advice needed please...

Unfortunately no matter what we do sometimes you just get sick!

In the space of 3 weeks... DH had the flu, I got the bug and turned it into what I thought was going to be tonsilitis (as i get it very easily) but it seemed to start to go away then flaired up again as a Chest Infection.. I was starting to get over that (with antibiotics) when DH got a bad cough and cold and now I have a bad cough! (that horrible kind where you cough and cough and cough until your about to choke and then your all ok for another few minutes! lol)

All of this when our ducted heating has broken down which probably didnt help! (and we are waiting on a part so its still not fixed:thumbsdown: )

We both have been seeing a naturopath for months, we both eat a varied healthy diet and we both excercise at least 4-5 times a week! We shouldnt be getting sick at all! :banghead:

me and ds are often sick too! our house doesnt have very good heating :(
we moved in march 2005
and since then i have had:
several asthma attacks,flu about 4 times,bronchitis about 3 times,gastro...
ds: colds,flu,gastro,asthma :(
dp hardly gets sick but he has mostly got the flu since we moved here.

hmm..the gas is a big no. no gas here. however when we moved in it was freshly painted and carpeted. That may be a big thing.

I will visit the natropath. I think this is probably the next option for us.

Its so exhausting being sick all the time. Thanks for the advise.

Does any one know any specific foods that are better to eat than others. We eat a lot of brocolli and drink a lot of oj. But sometimes you get stuck in the same diet and dont introduce other things which can help. ? Can you give toddlers spinach?
