2007, the year I've been sick at least 6 times now...
It could be 7 times, I've stopped counting... Fevers, sick, coughing, blah blah blah. As soon as I'm over one, another one starts.
Am I the only one who really notices it since January?
Did you get your flu shot, yes or no?
You were at the Comfort Zone on Sunday, right?
play sports 
All I have to say is
I have been sick a number of times since the beginning of January, but I know exactly why I have been.
It sucks 
Although, I started taking vitamins daily now and I must say that I am feeling much better than normal this week.. lol
i've been fucked for weeks now
it keeps threatening to go away
then ...boom! fucked again.
Been sick once. Actually right now.
Bleh
Since November, I had no flu (others at the office have), and haven't sniffled more than a day or two if I did catch a cold. Nothing debilitating. I did have a flu shot.
It's weird. I quit smoking on the 3rd of Jan and have been sick twice since. I've had a long lasting cough (less then a month long)and then last week was hit with some debilitating fever for a whole day. Hope it will all go away soon as the weather seems to be clearing up.
Partying probably has nothing to do with it.
ive been sick 2! one too many times!
Nothing so far...
(knocking on wood)

only one minor case of sniffles *knocks on wood*
do you take vitamins regularly? and I don't mean just the fruit, but like Multivitamins, and Vitamin C daily is a must, at least twice a day, up to 2mg daily

| Originally posted by jennypie 2 milligrams??? LOL you can take way more than that. Anything your body doesn't use will just get flushed out of your system. 100-200mg a day of vitamin C is good. When you're sick you can take up to 600mg. Gives that immune system just what it needs to fight off sickness. |
I'm surprised at you Jenny, you know that taking extra vitamin C isn't going to help once you're already sick. I'm on the fence as to whether or not it works at all (I've seen no medical evidence, but the placebo effect is apparently stronger than my own skepticism), but if it does, it's only as a preventative measure and not a panacea.
Yeah, I'm sick too, but being without heat for a week tends to have a negative effect on one's immune system. You guys getting sick year-round need to eat better, get more exercise, and start washing your hands.
P.S. LOL @ 2000 mg... most people are fine with 100-200, 500 is probably the highest anyone would want.

| Despite the popular belief that vitamin C can cure the common cold, the scientific evidence for this is limited. A few studies suggest that taking vitamin C supplements at the beginning of cold symptoms, or just after possible exposure, can shorten a cold or ward it off altogether. However, most studies conclude that vitamin C does not prevent or treat the common cold. While vitamin C �is essential for the formation and maintenance of cartilage, bone and teeth, and is used in moderate amounts to promote the healing of wounds and during convalescence from prolonged illnesses . . . there is no evidence to support its use in preventing or treating the common cold,� says Dr. Warwick Carter in his book The Complete Family Medical Guide. �In one trial, 3000 Californian users of vitamin C supplements were followed for ten years and had the same rate of illness and death as a control group of nonusers.� A study in the journal Public Library of Science Medicine also concluded there's no proof that high doses of vitamin C are effective in preventing colds or reducing symptoms. The study authors reviewed 55 studies dating from 1940 and 2004 that looked at how well doses of at least 200 mg per day of vitamin C prevented or treated the common cold when compared with a placebo. |
