I've been putting more water in my body now than ever before and I land in the ER in severe pain. It was a horrible experience (and I hope you're feeling better!) but I too felt like my body failed me at a time when I was treating it the best I ever have in my life.Jessica Lawlorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16180026942204335132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068369979023589368.post-2551977717537661172011-07-08T22:21:07.984-04:002011-07-08T22:21:07.984-04:00If Susan's ordeal has taught me anything is th...If Susan's ordeal has taught me anything is that living a healthy lifestyle doesn't necessarily guarantee that you'll be healthy.

Whenever I feel like I've been sick a lot I just try a lot of positive thinking that I am not going to get sick. If I start getting paranoid about someone next to me having a cold, I'll usually catch it, but if I stay positive and try not to think about it, then I'm usually fine. I hope you get better soon! It sounds like you have it under control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068369979023589368.post-86966173955449453832011-07-08T20:58:31.207-04:002011-07-08T20:58:31.207-04:00I hope you get better soon!!

I swear I sick for almost a year, it pretty much sucked and I still can't believe he stuck by me throughout all that, I had no social life whatsoever.

BUT, I completely understand you frustration when seemingly "unhealthy" people make comments about my lifestyle, regardless if I'm sick or not!

Things like rest, getting enough sleep and avoiding stress. I think a lot of "healthy" people actually put their bodies under a lot of stress by being to anal about being healthy. For example, when marathon training taking rest days is just as important as getting your runs in! I think the overall picture of health and wellness is so much more than just eating right and exercising!<br /><br />All that being said I definitely get sick anlot less since I lost 25 pounds and started exercising regularly a couple years ago!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068369979023589368.post-77001307988465346112011-07-08T13:38:34.294-04:002011-07-08T13:38:34.294-04:00Kidney infections suck -- big time.

I know how miserable it can be!<br /><br />I think our bodies go through an ebb and flow of being healthy and not being healthy. Perhaps you were susceptible to getting these ailments anyways, but your healthy living helped them from going from bad to worse. If anything, I always look at being sick as my body's way of improving its immunity. Doesn't improve the situation at all, but it helps me deal. Also, even though I'm a pretty healthy person in the aspects of what I eat and how active I am, I sometimes don't manage stress well and that's the first thing that makes me sick. Are there other areas of health (stress, sleep...) that you need to focus on?<br /><br />Hope you feel better!Maria @ Oh Healthy Dayhttp://ohhealthyday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068369979023589368.post-59033821623628512022011-07-08T12:48:33.625-04:002011-07-08T12:48:33.625-04:00oh nooooo! this sucks!

One being working out, eating well, not trashing your body. <br /><br />The other is when things don't work together and you have an infection, or cancer, or whatever the case may be. There are plenty of healthy people that get cancer. I see people that tell me they treated their bodies well, didn't smoke, drink and they still have cancer, or a multitude of health problems... Some stuff is just hereditary. Or certain body types are more prone to infections than others.. and people that say they never get sick- they haven't been exposed to the right kind of funk yet, or they are just lucky. but I bet when they do get sick...they are out for the count.Jenahttp://www.lifeisbeachykeen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068369979023589368.post-43556374596541598992011-07-08T11:36:09.673-04:002011-07-08T11:36:09.673-04:00The body is a weird thing...

I think a lot of it can come from getting so worn out from stress, work, life and then adding working out can sometimes be a shock to the system.<br />Chin up!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849990679231435718noreply@blogger.com
