well here i am, precisely 4 days afer finishing IV's and i've caught a darned cold!! SWEAR WORDS!!!!! I have to work as have not long had a week off, but am working from home so i don't spread my greeblies around the office, then catch it back again in a week or two. I'm keeping warm, doing physio, eating good food and taking all my vitamins, NAC etc and have added triple dose Garlic, Horseradish and VitaminC to the regime recently as well, but can anyone give me any advice on how else I might stop this from going to my chest? I can't really take orals anymore so it will mean IVs again and I SO don't want that, my body is still shattered from the last round. So bummed about this. Any help appreciated.

Shoot Kat.... I don't know how to prevent pneumonia and preventing colds from going to your chest unless you stand on your head all day long....
I had pneumonia 29 or so times growing up but since being dx I really only get it once in a while... I think it is from being on the right meds now...
I wonder is there something in your house that is triggering a cold in you.. For me my carpet in our house did.. I also got a great hepa air filter system that seems to have helped settle things down...
Hope you feel better...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - i have oregano oil here in both liquid and gel caps so have started putting 3-4 drops under my tongue every few hours - how much is enough and how much would be too much? Don't think it's a flu have never had a flu in my life so why start now huh? lol
