Getting sick

[Shawn Gossman]

How often do you get sick?

Does it seem to be increasing as you age?

I don’t get sick often. Usually once every other few years.

errr... yeah.
As your body ages stuff that it basically ignored when you were younger becomes more apparent.
That is simply a core fact of getting older.
We are never as "snappish" as we were 10 years ago, and any that claim otherwise are usually lyiing.
This is even more apparent as we age and complain of various aches and pains.

I've been battling stomach issues with IBS-C and GERD for a while now. I have to watch what I eat.

I don't usually get sick often but I always suffer diarrhoea at least once in a week.

My stomach is a big mess when it comes to rejecting some food.

Since this year, I've only been to the hospital once for myself but I've taken my daughter 3x for check up and treatment. The last time we went to the hospital, she had cold. I didn't want to take any chances giving her home treatment.

I went to the doctor once this year. The other day. Got on some medicine for my sinus issues but other than that, clean bill of health. Won't be back until this time next year. This keeps my insurance premiums down.

I've been seeing a lot of trending videos on YouTube and TikTok of how to use natural remedies like garlic for treating sinus infection.

Do you think that really works? Have you ever tried it?

Is that anything like taking Ivermectin horse paste from the local farm supply to treat COVID19?

Just joshing.. there are many "old home remedies" that work in todays age. When my throat is sore, I'll happily fall back to the hot water/bourbon/honey/lemon juice solution. it works due to the various ingredients being effective and I don't have to use man-made concotions.
We used to have a willow tree in our back hard and I'd frequently use the bark to make a tea instead of taking aspirin. There are many folk remedies that are very valid still.... and are a part of survivalist training.
