Why was I sick longer 😭

When my husband first got sick with a sore throat, I thought it was just going to pass quickly and we’d move on. Sure enough, after two days he was already back to normal like nothing ever happened. But then a couple of days later, I started feeling that same sore throat and mine came with a whole package deal coughing, runny nose, fatigue, headaches, body aches, and honestly so much more. It felt like I got the short end of the stick.

What’s weird is that we literally live the same lifestyle. We take the same vitamins, workout the same amount, and go to bed at the same time. Somehow, his immune system bounced back fast while mine just got completely knocked down. It made me realize how different our bodies really are, even when we treat them the same.

Maybe his immune system is just built different, like a superhero version!
