How many times a year...

[MikeMartial]

...do you get sick? I'm talking colds or flu, minor, or major.

1) Never, I'm a machine!

2) Once or twice

3) Three of four

4) Four or more

And: Do you have a sure-fire way to beat it?

 

[kcpmeo22]

I usually have one good "lay-me-up" a year but no real minor issues other than sinus problems.

 

[bigstve12]

echinacea drops, not pills and im good in a day or two. About once or twice a year i get sick, always in the winter

 

[Sta11ion]

Once a year with the sustanon flu

 

[stevexpress]

once or twice, only when the weather changes

 

[chewyxrage]

once or twice, only when the weather changes

same here. that fucks with me for some reason


I take a multi and C and E to help keep the colds away

 

[help4john]

.....three or four but I'm a bit older! Five or six if you count Sust flu.

 

[Subzeero]

I have not been to the doc for over three years now.

 

[theoak01]

I get sick once a year and it knocks me on my ass and I lose 10-15lbs

 

[sasharawkz]

I used to get sick 4-5 times per year when I was smoking, but in the past few years, maybe once or twice. So far this winter, I have been flu free.....(knock on wood!)

 

[musclegirl]

Almost never. If I feel one, I start sucking on zinc lozenges, and it's gone. I don't take any echinachea or any other vitamins etc. I'm also a germ-phobe, so that might help.

 

[goldenone]

I rarely get sick but when I do its in the summer for some reason.

 

[BlondeBombshell27]

I'm sick all of the time. I have colitis and IBS.

 

[Growth&Courage]

I get sick about once or twice a year too. However, last year (ie:2004) has been 3-4 due to the ongoing symptoms of sust-flu (hence never to touch sust again).

I can trace every time I get sick to a period of sleep deprivation... never fails.

 

[Snypr]

Back pain everyday, but actually sick? Never.And I normally work outside. And I haven't had any shots for years.

 

[markshark]

i never get sick at all. i used to until i started taking vitamin c every day. like 1 gram of it a day.

 

[sublime35]

i never get sick at all. i used to until i started taking vitamin c every day. like 1 gram of it a day.

I do the same. But i read today that Vit. E is best for healthy immune system not C. shows what i know

 

[ironballedmcguinty]

I get sick @ least once a month.....usually when the weathers nice....

 

[The Angry Mule]

Very rarely but when I do get sick I'm usually bed ridden for 2 weeks.

 

[Gymgurl]

maybe twice a yr since I have been working out

 

[Saintinistic]

i agree with the sleep deprivation, if under stress its a big knock to the immune system. i used to get sick only once a year, sometimes not for 2 years. but since my daughter is now in daycare, she brings all the good stuff home to dad.

so its about 2 or 3 times a year now.

though Clen keeps the machine burning high, so the potential for bugs to reproduce under that environment are reduced. its like a permenant fever (which is designed by the body to kill the bugs, not by the bugs to kill the body)

 

[mrhoon]

I used to get colds all the time, but since I've been with my wife I have been very fortunate to not get sick at all. 5+ Years!

 

[irish_pride]

a drop of honey everyday. and orange juice.

 

[thelion2005]

I will hit a run of high energy and increasing strength ... overtrain ... and pick up the first darn common cold bug that comes my way.

Or .... my grandkids will bring me the runny green nose bug and I'll get that.

If I rest for 2-3 days, I heal up. If I keep training and pushing, it takes 2 weeks.

 

[thelion2005]

I'm sick all of the time. I have colitis and IBS.

I had this long ago and discovered it was a massive allergy - dairy products. I was chugging Weider milk-based protein and suffering. Pretty dumb in retrospect. The Docs wouldn't listen.

Have you done the allergy pin prick test (25 on the back)?

 

[studlife22]

i live by theraflu when im sick. Its the only stuff that really works for me. It breaks fevers really well.

 

[buffer1]

almost never

 

[tinytank]

well this year i have had, a cold, the flu, the mumps ,and a chest infection ! lol... what a little flower i am

 

[NorgePrecision]

Other than the occasional sniffle from a minor cold, my imune system is top notch. I haven't been down and out sick in years. I take at least two showers a day, wash my hands at least 4-5 times a day, and take a good multi-vitamin.

 

[Extra_Strong]

I am not sure why .. I have been sick only 3 times.. in my life and it was broncitious..
1st time was about 8. next time was in my teens about 15 and then again when i was about 24 not sure if there is a pattern or not... I am 29 now..

So i just feel immuned to most things i guess..

 

[SgtSlaughter]

used to be a machine!

Had to vote "once or twice" .. due to the fact that i'm SICK RIGHT NOW!! Damn Head Colds ... I hate being sick damnit, especially cuz i'm awake right now at 4:16 am... prolly taking another day out of work (actually maybe I'll just work from home?). It's day 2 of toting around a tissue box all over my house blowing my nose every 20 secs and watery eyes and shit... I want a labotomy (head replacement, however it's spelled).

I was going to blame it on actually going out for the first time in awhile for New Years Eve... but I felt an inkling of something creeping up on me the end of last week. A night of drinking and not enough sleep slammed it on me though... still took my multi and other supps before I passed out though and loads of water while out... at any rate, it sucks being sick.

[SlimJim52]

Considering my travels, lack of good diet or exercise, I get usually one bad cold and maybe a flu symptom each year. Past couple years have really been healthy, minus the knee surgery and shoulder repair. December had a good bout with cold/bronchitus which is still lingering. But 1st time in about 3 years with that, knock on wood.

 

[Cucumber_Jones]

Not often. I like washing my hands.

 

[pappad]

I can't remember the last time I was sick!! Thanks God!!!
