Is it normal to get so many sicknesses in the space of 2 weeks?

Last week I had gastroenteritis (stomach flu), and called in sick to work. A couple of days later, the gastro had cleared up and I got conjunctivitis (pink eye) in one eye and the next day I got the flu... I had to call in sick for work AGAIN.

This week the conjunctivitis spread to the other eye (despite my best efforts) and I now have tonsilitis.

I have already been to the doctor three times: once for the Gastro, once for the conjunctivitis and once for the tonsilitis...

So now I still have the flu... and the tonsilitis. 3 doctors visits in 2 weeks, it's getting a little old.

Is it normal to be sick with so many things all at once or should I be looking at reasons why my immune system is so crappy at the moment?

    Maybe a healthier diet, more sleep, exercise, etc. Or maybe all thats fine already. If thats the case, you should see a doctor.

        Um, what? Are you trying to say Thanks should get off the internet and do something good because you don't want to hear his words because you think he's trying to troll? I don't understand. Are you learning English? If not, lay off the crack pipe!

    Being ill leaves you more open to catching other things. You'd be surprised how many people who are admitted to hospital get more ill by contracting something else while there.

    I do have a natural "magic bullet" which I swear works for me, though...

    Onions, garlic, chillies, citrus in really heavy doses. I can be coming down with something that I know is getting the better of me and they turn it around. I've gone to bed expecting to wake up like a zombie and have been restored to full health overnight. I don't guarantee it for everyone but I definitely recommend giving it a try. And go as overboard as you can cope with. Especially on the chillies which seem to purge the bad stuff in your body.
