I am beyond loosing patience with trying unsuccessfully to fight off whatever illness I may have (aside from diabetes). Being diabetic makes it that much harder to fight things off. I’ve become a total germ phobe (to no avail…). People just think I’m overreacting when they tell me that they or their kid is sick and I quickly move away from them. But knowing how difficult it has become to fight illness makes me run for the hills!
You have kindred spirit here, Brian. After months/years of chronic infections that just hang around and wear me out, I really do my best to avoid people with bugs, but they still find me. Not only is it frustrating and wearing but there’s also other costs - like lost work time, not being able to socialise as much, antibiotics, and then there’s the worry that the antibiotics will quit working. I could go on, but I know you understand and can relate. Thanks for sharing your gripe though, as it reminded me I’m not alone in dealing with this crap.
