Jeramie Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was just thinking about this and I am really blessed. I honestly dont get sick, at all. Once every year or two I may get some crud but seriously, I cant remember the last time I threw up from "The bug." In fact ive only thrown up 5-6 times in my life, honestly. Even my mom says she cant ever remember me just throwing up. I know people that never get sick and then others that are prone to everything within a mile. My wife doesnt do to bad to work with the public. Everyone always says, "Dont drink after her!" (When she's sick) but honestly it never hits me. I guess it is how your body handles the virus.... So how prone are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? I used to never get sick also, when I was in the Air Force I rarely got sick, if ever that I can remember. The last 7-8 years or so since I have been out I seem to get sick at least twice a year. About 5 years ago I got some kind of flu where I was running a 100+ temp and a sore throat so bad I couldn't eat or drink, it lasted for almost 2 weeks it seemed like, eating or drinking was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced with that bug. I went to the doc and he said I just had a really bad cold. Thanks Doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? I do OK considering I'm around 800+ students every day in addition to my kids bringing home every new strain of flu/cold known to man. I maybe get a head cold once a year. As far as intestinal crap, hmmmmm, seems to me when I first started teaching I had it all the time. I usually pick that crud up once a year or so. Usually get it from my kids when I'm holding their heads in the can, or cleaning them up. I never got sick when I was a kid. I think I missed like 5 days of school my entire elementary life. I think my dad still has all my perfect attendance awards. I can remember I never even went to the hospital until I was in jr. high school, and that was for a broken ankle.

Guest Andrea Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? This past winter I threw up from some 24 hour thing that was going around. That was the first time in YEARS. I don't get sick either. Thank goodness. Now watch..............just cause I said that I am gonna come down with some bird flu or epizootie.

M00N Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? I am very prone to catching everything and anything that comes around, however, I normally only catch mild versions of everything. Rarely do I get sick where it knocks me out that I can't work or go out and have fun. I normally don't even have to go to the doctor or go to the hospital. I normally end up at the doctors or hospital due to injury more than sickness. I'm not a fan of running to the doctor for every little sickness. I feel they give out antibiotics too readily these days and when you're truly sick you're going to end up being immune to most of the treatments and then stuck in a bad situation. I like to just let my body fight it out on its own when it can. If sickness lingers or gets too unbearable then I go to the doctors about it.

Steven Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? I used to get sick a couple times a year, then I just stopped. With the exception of last summer, it's probably been 5 years since I've had anything more serious than a common cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? I get sick once every three years. And when I do, I do it right! But other than that, I'm fine. The only time I take medicine is when I REALLY need it. My wife will take an alleve or whatever at the slightest amount of pain. I keep telling her that someday virus's etc will build immunity to those pain relievers someday and be ineffective. JMHO But she won't listen. Our ancestor's were tough. We are not.

wtnhunt Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? Have sinus/allergy problems. Used to get bronchitis pretty bad a couple times a year, but have not had a bad case of bronchitis but once since lung surgery in 2003. I very rarely ever get stomach type bugs bad enough where I end up getting to the point I puke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: Who gets sick and how often? I usually just get the typical cold that goes aroudn the college/area maybe once a year, twice if I'm so blessed,lol. Last time I was sick enough to be puking was 2 years ago during May term I had food poisoning from mayonnaise I think, missed a day of class because I was so sick, ugh, and I lost like 5 pounds I think.
