Anyone else get sick more often?

Hi Ladies
Its been 7 mos for me and I am now coming down with my second cold. I used to only get sick maybe once a yr but now it seems I get everything and anything, I've also had a stomach bug too. Not too mention I am pretty sure I have an infection in my vagina, it hurts like I have sand in it. I had a TAH and am only on pregesterone creme. Whats going on? Anyone else seem to catch every bug that goes around?

I know that I have had two major colds and a stomach bug since my surgery in November. I used to never really get sick before...hopefully it will get better soon. I am taking blackelderberry pills now since they are supossed to 'boost' your immunity...hope they help...

It seems that every little germ out there now invades!

It's been 8 months for me and yes I think my immune system is down and I get sick at the drop of a hat. I was sick from December to the middle of January with whatever flu was going around. I get colds and sinus infections and headaches and other stuff that I would only get certain times of the year more often. It's not just you. I also notice that even after 8 months the lower part of my abdomin is still sensitive and tender and the top part is not, it feels normal.

I'm glad to hear its not just me. I am starting to think not only did they take my uturus and ovaries, but they took my immune system too!! I never used to get this sick. I take vitamins every day, eat fairly good, get enough rest...I wonder if its just our immune system takes a long time to get back up since surgery?

lugrad:
Did you have a bikini cut? My soreness is just the opposite, but I had a vertical cut... My top part of abdomen, can hardly touch, but down below, I can push on all day.

I think it is that my immune system took such a huge hit and just isn't back into the swing of things yet. Hopefully it will get better as I heal. (I also have fibromalygia which is why I am healing so slow) My dr says I am on the downhill slide now that I am six months out

I wonder if its because our bodies are busy trying to heal from surgery and that drops our immune system down for fighting off viruses? This has been the only surgery I have ever had and plan to have unless its life threatening! I never realized what a toll it took on my body. I hope and pray that a year from now I can feel better than I ever have in my life.
