Okay, since I'm sick again, and everyone is suggesting I take a multivitamin, my question is, what is a good one? And does anyone know of sites where I can find out this information?

I have a call into the advice nurse, so I'm hopeing s/he can help me out with what may be good to help boost my immune system (besides exercise, as I'm still sick). For those that have a tendency to get sick, I'll post when I find out.

For the rest of you healthy people.......help! I'm RARELY THIS sick, so this just sucks. I'm not sure if K and I are passing things back and forth, or if he's picking up new things and bringing them to me. I mean, he was fine Sat, and BAM, sick Sun. I was doing well, so I didn't think I was going to get sick, and Tuesday night, my throat started hurting. I knew I was sick again.

I'm taking Cold-eeze, and I need more stuff. AUGH! Calgon, take me away. I'm so out of it this morning. I doubt I'm going to make it thru the day. BTW, 26 days being sick. I am soooo out of sick time. Jeez.

I take ICaps, they are a multivitamin with the correct amount of lutein that you need. Most of the multivitamins don't give you enough and I'm not getting any younger so I need to incorporate lutein for my eyes.

Thanks. I hate the omegas, only cuz I hate fish oil. Yuck. lol. I will look for that. My friend suggested this CHEWABLE multi-vitamin. I may look into that. I hate swallowing those horsepills. Yes. Sleep. I just cancelled and appt I have tomorrow, and even if K comes over, I'm resting. I'm so tired. lol. But, I do believe this is the "worst" day, if I'm following K's lead.

I have to air out my apt too. I have had it closed up all week/end, because of our lovely Santa Ana winds....which wreak havoc on my allergies. So, now that they're gone, this weekend. I'm opening it up.

I had vietnamese food Tuesday, I think I'm going ot have some today too. They have LOADS of veggies with their food :)

What is lutein? If you look anything like you're little bug-eyed guy, I'd say you are getting enough :P.

It's essential for the eyes and as you get older you lose it. I don't have glasses so I want to keep it that way as long as I can. No added expenses please. LOL
