Definitely feeling the illness of late. I normally have a couple of Strepsils before I go for a walk around the neighbourhood on a winter's night. But, I have been getting worse and worse lately as a result of not cleaning up the house sufficiently. Having organised the house to be reasonably neat, the other issue was having to clean up the walls and ceiling fans of dust and build up.

A few weeks ago, I got the PineO Clean and had a container for the diluted cleaner and a container for the water/rinse. Cleaning 4 ceiling fans lead to me feeling sick a few days later. But, after some apple cider vinegar, I was doing well again. I could imagine how sick I would be if I kept the walls unwashed or the ceiling fans throwing the dust and build up around the room come the spring's usage.

The other day, I had a real stomach pain that leads me to have to sleep off the illness for a few hours. I figured out that it was some chia seeds that had gone off that I was still using. I gave myself food poisoning. Then I realised that I had not been giving all of the fridge shelves a good clean on a regular occasion. Obviously, I have been making myself sick for quite some time. The quality of what I have been eating has improved. But the shelf life of the food being spoiled by an uncleaned fridge meant that the good food was being spoiled quickly.

Between 2017 to today, I have not been sick all that much. And when I did get sick, it was not for long. But, I doubt that anyone is never sick or unwell. Even if you started counting from the time you were an adult to today, I doubt even the most health-conscious person has avoided a cold or influenza.

I felt sick a short few hours ago. Not being able to breathe right or cough properly. The phlegmy feeling I had could not budge. Now, I seem right again. I am so glad that I brought enough lemon juice to shatter windscreens.

I am not sick but jesus christ the pains in my joints is getting worse!

I was constantly sick when my now 14y/o was about 4. Cold after cold, even got a dose of pneumonia.

As soon as she left day care, all good.

I don't want to jinx myself but, I feel incredibly healthy.

Just did my bowel cancer home test, and that was all clear (no blood in my poop).

I've had the flu once, maybe twice in my entire life.

Rarely get a cold, although it is quite bad whenever I do get it (every 4 or 5 years, maybe).

I guess this thread has made me realise just how lucky I am.

The other night, I had trouble swallowing. And I had a real chest pain sneezing a few times. This was a day after I had that gut pain, probably the result of food poisoning. I am doing well now. And the common cold that I thought I would get today did not eventuate.

I had been feeling generally 'flat', sick and unwell for a couple of years
but put it down to simple aging.

Finally, in May, things came to a head and I ended up in hospital.

Since then, with some serious diet and lifestyle changes I generally
feel better than I have for at least 4 or 5 years.

I'm definitely a lot more active and taking much more interest in things
than I had for some considerable time - which certainly can't be a bad
thing.
