for years and years i have never ever been ill - even when i was diagnosed with SAA I was not ill as such and hadn't had so much as a cold for years...now just over a year after diagnosis and treatment with alg rabbit, i have had one sinus infection which cleared up quicker than my colleagues at work, my whites are not at full strength yet.
I put this down to the fact that for all these years I have been a clinician and religiously use hand sanitizer every hour or so, and when i have toileted, touch doors etc etc. My consultant said that the majority of bugs are transfered via hand to eyes..... just watch someone and see how many times they do touch their eyes in a day after handling money, door handles, each other etc. Of course it can't be proven 100% but I am convinced that adding this extra precaution helps with not picking up infections. good luck all and as ford prefect says in brave new world.....be well! xx (well i think that is who said it)
