Hi,

I am easily ill these days. If I want to express the idea that I'm an easy target attacked by virus, or my immune system is getting weak, what is the most natural way that an native English speaker will say?

Thank you for your help!

Leslie

Hi Leslie,

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well! Sad I hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Regarding your question, you could say, "I've been very susceptible to illness lately. I think my resistance must be low."

Take lots of vitamin C and get plenty of rest! I know it's hard with a little one.

Harmony Very Happy

Thank you, Harmony. I really felt fatigued most of the time. Everyday there comes up something new to me. Something new--I mean new ailment. I guess I need exercise. Thank you for your concern. How have you been? Hope everything goes smoothly wiht you.

Leslie
