I am on metformin and simvastatins and am 56 yo. I had a flu jab a couple of months ago but just before Christmas went down with the worst flu I have ever had. Day/Night sweats, aching joints/muscles. 3 days in bed but managed (just) to get up for Christmas lunch. For a few days afterwards I had real balance problems and this persisted until the weekend until on Monday I went down with a dreadful cold, face pain that now feels as if it may become sinusitis, yellow phlegm etc now 4 days into it.
My question is: is there any point in allowing my body to fight this off or should I get myself along to the doc for antibiotics? I have heard the expression "compromised immune system" and am wondering if my faith in mother nature is misplaced once you have D2. I am a right miserable sod at home.
