Revolver Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) My girlfriend has a stupidly camp immune system, and she works in an off-licence, so she soaks up every illness and disease from the scum she meets every day and brings them home for me. As a result, she's constantly ill and in the past year I've been ill more times than in the previous 5 years...Normally I simply man up but I'm getting a little tired of it now.Multivitamins will improve your immune system.

Muel Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Can she not get a different job?To be fair you're batting above your average anyway lad so the fact she's giving you illnesses can only be a good thing??!! She's looking for something new anyway now she's finished uni, hopefully she'll get something a little further from the public next.Tell her that and you're a dead man! She hasn't got a clue lol. I guess overall it's worth it, but it would still be nice if I could be ill a little less often. Multivitamins will improve your immune system.Orly, have they actually worked for you? I drink orange juice every day so should be getting some vitamin C, but the rest of my diet is pretty poor at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah, I used to take vitamin C on its own but I noticed a vast improvement in my ability to not get a cold - even when I've spend time with friends who have bad colds - when I switched to multivitamins. I know there's the whole argument of having expensive piss, but that only really applies if you're actually getting everything from fruit and veg. I'm a bit hit and miss with that so multivitamins relieve some pressure. Now for some real angry thread news - I burnt my pizza, it's becoming a habit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Definitely use multivitamins as much as you can remember to. I've never noticed them working when taking them, but then I stop for a bit and get ill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think i'm going to start taking cod liver oil ? My wrists are clicking so much along with my knuckles, I can "crack" my knuckles just by making a fist Any other remedies for this shit?

N.Wood Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Glucosamine and chondritin (sp?) is what I took for a few years, kinda forgot and stopped taking them recently though. Just gonna deal with the fact I'll probably be in a wheelchair at some point lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word, it's hard to actually notice the effects, a bit like you don't properly realise it when you're on a sugar rush or something like that, but I have managed to notice I've barely been ill in comparison to before I took them.

trials hoe Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 My wrists are clicking so much along with my knuckles, I can "crack" my knuckles just by making a fist Any other remedies for this shit? mine are the same, properly unpleasant when its cold/wet too.........cod liver oil and some (something) phosphate my mum has for her gammy shoulder make it a bit better but i don't think it'll ever go away i just live with it. but i'm old(ish) and falling to pieces anyway...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was last weight training, I took them them along with cod liver oil, but that was just to ensure I was getting the vitamins needed to look after my ligaments and stuff. I had no idea they could do anything for illness, but now I think about it, I was rarely ill back then.I'll pick some more up later, see how things go over the next few weeks.

Muel Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I decided it was a very silly thing to do. Spending hours of life lifting things up just to be bigger? I decided to just go outside and do things more instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have been taking Glucosamine and Omega 3 for a couple of years now. My joints used to click loads but after 1-2 months of taking them I noticed an improvement so I continued. I just put the tablets on my desk where I charge my phone every night so have got into the habit of taking them every morning when I get up. I have heard that Chondroitin is good as well but it seems to be quite expensive and I already take 2 supplements anyway so decided not to look into it any further! I take the following: http://www.healthspan.co.uk/glucosamine-supplements/glucosamine-optiflex-hcl-1000mg/productdetail-p1545864-c142.aspx http://www.healthspan.co.uk/omega-3/omega-3-1000mg/productdetail-p354-c151.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Another vote for multivitamins from me. Everyone at work has some sort of cold and I'm the only healthy one, how come you ask? I take multivitamins! Or my immune system is just naturally hench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I drink too much, maybe that has something to do with it? I'm sure I remember hearing that alcohol suppresses your immune system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) does chondroitin and stuff really work? i heard of cartilages beeing supplied with nutrition per diffusion,what would make it impossible to work when taken oral.

haydon_peter Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Like I said in my previous post Glucosamine and Omega 3 made a huge difference. For example when walking up and down the stairs my knees used to frequently click really loudly, that rarely happens now. Maybe I should stop taking them for a few weeks to see if I get clicky joints again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Might get on this, I can guarantee that if I get up in the night when I get out of bed my legs crack so loudly I usually wake and get a bollocking off the missus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Going for an evening ride after having nothing to eat was a terrible idea. Feel awful even now I'm home and had some grub. I feel you man, I once had an argument with family so rushed out having not eaten. Was doing some road bike training. Got to the top of stanage edge and passed out from hunger in a car park. Worst thing was there was an ice cream van next to me but I had no money my dad eventually picked me up and I ate about 20 mr killings apple pies in about a minute flat. I don't even like apple pie Edited February 26, 2013 by Duncy H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
