[quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is more of a rant than seeking advice (but if you have any, please throw my way!) but goddamn, being sick all the time is so hard. With the exception of HFM, the baby usually only gets a mild illness, like a runny nose or one day of a low fever and seems completely fine the next day, but every time it hits me so hard. Sometimes I even get the illnesses going around daycare that she seems to skip, like this week's stomach bug. I'm so so grateful her immune system seems better prepared for daycare plague than mine, but seriously, why am I getting every little thing? I wash my hands but doesn't seem to matter.

I feel like I could cope if it were just random colds but it seems like every other week I have some new bug that completely knocks me on my ass. I'm missing so much work, behind on everything, and just overwhelmed and miserable. When healthy, I feel like balancing everything is really not bad and I'm very happy, but being healthy never lasts long. How do you deal with this? Considering a nanny but baby seems to really like daycare so I'm hesitant to change anything.  [/quote]
