So every year, twice a year, like clockwork, I used to get sick. For years. It didn’t matter what I did to try to avoid it, it was just inevitable.
I would get antibiotics from the doctor and use that along with over the counter medicine...but I would never recover any faster, it would still take 2 full weeks before I started feeling a little better. So what exactly were these pills doing for me?
Copayments, antibiotics & over the counter meds was just a never-ending cycle. The root cause of why I kept getting sick with the same symptoms for the same length of time was just never addressed.
I look back on those days now in amazement that I lived like that for so long. But when that’s all you know what can you do? Little did I know that all along, prevention started with me.
So what changes did I make? So glad you asked :-)

Some of the common complaints about using a mask are:
Anxiety
Fatigue
Poor Mental Focus
Headaches
Shortness of Breath
