People who are frequently ill

[SkinnyPete]

For most of my life I have been fortunate enough to avoid any illness other than a common cold, I've never been to hospital and I've never taken time off work.

But for the past couple of years as I approach the end of my 20's I find myself becoming ill more frequently and not just for a few days at a time and I don't know why.

I am passionate about eating healthy, I exercise frequently, I get a good amount of sleep and I try to avoid anything in life that is likely to cause stress.

Despite this though I've been sick quite a lot over the past 2 years, anything from repeatedly getting a common cold, flu, to tonsillitis that lasted 6 weeks and even put me in a wheelchair (twice), to non specific infections. Now just recently and totally out of the blue I have been hit by Bells Palsy and the flu at once.

I know human health is not an exact science, but does anyone else have the same luck despite having a positive, healthy, happy lifestyle?

Yes I sit under an air con outlet but always have, and I get about 8 hours sleep each night.

I don't take drugs and I drink in moderation and only socially. I get 30 minutes walking in at lunch time and then 45 minutes in the gym 3 times a week. I eat a variety of fruit and veg and also take a mixed vitamin supplement just in case I miss anything out.

This may sound silly but if I could think of one coincidence it would be every time I get a new partner I become ill soon after.

I will bring it up with my GP the next time I visit.
