-- How often do you get sick?
Pages (4): « 1 2 [3] 4 »

I get sick at least once during spring/summer, and at least four times during the winter, most of them being respiratory infections.

The doc says I might need to take the good ol' tonsils out...

buddy sitting next to me in the office has swollen tonsils. he was crazy sick couple days ago, i better not catch anything.

rather than sick, do you guys get tired this time of year? i feel like im going into hibernation

Ugh Im always sick.
If I dont sleep I get a cold.. ugh

I know some people that go to the casino and wear diapers so they don't have to get up from the poker table.

I always get the winter blues....I hate it....I feel tired all the time and depressed

Every time I see a pic of Tiesto.

Yes, but stay away from Purel, and antibacterial soaps, unless you are dealing with the old, or working in a hospital. Kids should be exposed to as many germs as possible.

Seasonal affective disorder

Get more vitamin D, either through food or through a special light, and you should be fine.

Here in LA we had a cloudy morning for a few hours two weeks ago and I thought it was depressing and sad that we should have to deal with less than ideal weather for such a long time at least 2 or 3 times a year. Winter in LA sucks. You know its bad when you go from 7 beach days a week to only 6.5.
reminds me of this video!

Triumph Weather Dog - The most popular videos are here




actually though, I do miss the cold weather. Last year living in Tokyo was great with typhoons rolling through all the time and bringing cool damp weather with them. and then the one or two sunny days a week you do get seem like paradise in a totally different way.
I'm already checking out the mountain resorts here in Cali finding out when the snowboard season is going to start. I'm excited to go swim at the beach in shorts and then snowboard in the mountains 2.5 hours later!

yah but all these cancer scares
I got once a week, and I swear, what they say about this chemical in the brain that makes us happier - so true! I leave the salon nicely roasted AND in a better mood lol

Originally posted by FunkyCrew my dad recomended I try taking Echinacea tablets right when I feel I'm getting sick and also during, to boost up the immune system

I just bought a bottle.. It seems to be helping out.. Maybe I'll have some Cold FX too to speed things up.. Need to be better for Ottawa this wkd LOL.

I also think STRESS adds a major factor to one's immune system and getting sick. I find when I am stressed to the bone, my immune system takes a hike. Ugh.. i can't wait to be done school

i get a cold once a year. otherwise, i never get sick.

of course, i've probably gone and jinxed myself now by typing that.

AKA blaming your personal problems on the weather.

In general, when I'm getting regular exercise, I don't get sick at all. If I slack for a long time then sometimes I can catch colds every month or two if I'm not careful. Can't remember the last time I had something more serious (although I'm sure it'll happen now that I've said that).

The irritating part is that whenever I get sick I know exactly who gave it to me and know that they were in no condition to be at work (or wherever). People just can't seem to keep their germs to themselves.

ohhhhh... gottcha. I misunderstood. Thought you were shit distubing.

I usually catch a bad cold lasting 1-2 weeks in mid-March, I didn't this year, likely because I wasn't working so I was getting 12 hours of sleep and never leaving my house. Other than that and my seasonal allergies, I never get sick... the last time I had the flu was 1999. No flu shots either.

To those saying they get sick all the time, do you use a lot of disinfectants or regularly turn to medication whenever you're sick? I know a few people who are chronically ill, and I have a feeling it's because they've taken so many medications and used so many disinfectants to sterilize their surroundings that their immune system has been weakened. Then again, I'm no doctor, but I know *I* don't get sick

I'm a believer in the "don't use medicine unless you're dying" approach to health. Whatever doesn't kill me the first time won't make me sick to begin with next time

I don't even take Tylenol for headaches anymore (active chemical is highly toxic to the liver) . I've seen so many reports over the years linking chronic illness with overuse of disinfectants and medications that I refuse to do anything more than shower, brush my teeth, and wash my hands (only to get rid of dirt, if my hands are 'clean'... eff it, I'm eating!).

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced I've noticed that since I don't go to clubs as ofter anymore I don't get sick as often.

Same here, but also more likely because I am not running my body down with partying every weekend either.

We'll see what happens this winter though. I am bound to get sick a couple times.

Precisely! Your little snowflakes need to build their immune systems. Let them eat their boogers I always say.

There's a reason Purell and others like it kills 99.9% of bacteria. It doesn't kill the mutated bacteria that have become resistant to these agents. It's killing off the easy ones and allows the resistant ones to reproduce further without worry. Let them get competition.

During the winter, I always wake up in the morning with a runny nose but am fine for the rest of the day.

Originally posted by Aleksandra How often do you get sick? And what are you usually sick with? For me, it's been WAY too often as of late.. I'm getting over a really bad throat infection that has put me out of commission and unable to attend classes since last Friday. Before this, I had other throat BS late August & had to miss a gig... I'm thinking of going to see a naturopath soon.

It's Richard!!! lol

Originally posted by activate depends on what your definition of sick is....

I agree.
I'm pretty sure a LOT of ppl would consider themselves sick many times that i wouldnt.
Like my sisters for ex...they're always sick, but say so when they have a scratchy throat or the sniffles.

Fucki i have a scratchy throat everyday after i go out and have like 10 smokes..

Tiger balm (it's some type of ointment) is good for headaches and muscle aches too.

Not too often at all, thankfully.

anyone else coughing up white shit all the time?
