I've had arthritis for 13-14 years now. I was diagnosed when I was 15. The medications we take kill our immunie system more than the disease does and I feel like I get sick all the time. I pick up every cold or flu that is going around. I dose up on vitamin C and wash my hands all the time, but it doesn't seem to be enough. Lately, it has gotten to be really depressing everytime I get sick. I get in a funk and have the hardest time getting out of it. I feel as though I'm going to spend the majority of my life being sick or in bed and it is really getting to me. Does anyone else feel this way?????????????
