Getting sick

I hardly ever get sick. I apparently my immune system works over time to make sure that I stay healthy. I do get little colds from time to time, but usually they don't last longer than 24 hours. I have not got the flu since I was in high school, and I have never had a flu shot.

I have to agree that the one a day and vitamin C must be helping you tremendously! Vitamins can be very helpful in keeping the bugs away. Myself normally i am hardly ever sick but lately i have been getting sick quite often. I finally went into see a Doctor and unfortunately i have Asthma!!!

I've noticed that my kids have remained really healthy this winter and pray that it'll last. Nothing much has changed, I don't give them vitamins or anything like that and if anything we've been out and around people more then any other winter. My mother-in-law is a really big advocate of vitamins and herbs and everytime someone sneezes it seems like she's chasing after us with her bottles of pills! LOL. The only vitamins I ever take are Folic Acid and Calcium, and that's just because I'm either pregnant, or just had a baby or about to be pregnant! :)

I didn't get any kind of colds for the longest time, then for a few years I would get knock-down-drag-out sick once a year. Not the flu, it was always "viral", but it would keep me out of work for a week. And I usually never call in sick! Every now and then I'd get a sinus infection, but that wasn't a big deal. Now, this year I didn't get sick at all - so far, knock on wood. Two possibilities. I've started a new vitamin regimen that I think is actually working pretty well. And also, the weather here has been so mild this winter. I just hope I'm not going to get antying now, I have too much work to do!

I usually get sick in the winter, yes i did get the flu shot, but sometimes you wonder if it realy helps.Two weeks ago i had a very bad cold. Sore throat, runny nose ,headache ,chills and a 102 fever. The fever lasted 5 days.Now on top of it all I got this cough.I do take vitamins every day plus a vitamin E. Do you no what is good for a cough? everthing I tryed does not work.

I get colds a lot...but, I do have allergies and I wonder if some of the times I contribute symptoms to "colds" that it's not really allergies. LOL I, too get the stuffy nose, sore throat, and draining into my throat. I get really sick--like throw up sick--about once a year. Never at the same time of year, though. I was sick about 5 months ago wiht some 48 hr bug. I was feverish and throwing up and in and out of conciousness. I mean, I was so doped up, that I couldn't even hardly stay awake. LOL I realized right then and there that I am in awe of single mothers because my kids only got taken care of that weekend by my husband.

I get sick at least once a year and no I dont get the flu shot but I do take a vitamin once a day.

I rarley get sick. Unless you count a headache as being sick. LOL I have never had a flu shot and have never had a bad flu. But, when the time comes and one person gets sick in the house...it is a cycle throught everyone. And, if that cycle doesn't end soon enough, it might just be passed back around!! But, no I do not get sick often and I have never had a flu shot. At least I think! :D

I hardly ever get sick and I never get the flu shot. It seems like our kids get sick quite a bit though. I heard that if your child doesn't get some sort of cold or sickness at least ten times a year that they will have immature immune systems. That seems like a lot of time to be sick, that would only be two months where you wouldn't have a cold.

It is rare that I get sick and hope I never get sick now that I have had a major operation. Since my triple heart bye pass I have to be carefull that I do not get sick as it could be life threatening.

okay like me i always get sick if someone is around for a while that is sick my kids never sick and my husband never gets sick i men he can walk outside in 30 degrees weather and no shirt on in boxers barefooted you know and in the middle of flu season and not get sick and you can be sick caugh all on him and all im ean he never gets sick adn he dont take any vitamins or anything and he smokes i hate it because i can barle be near and i catch everythinga and it stays by me to for along long time and all and i take vitamins and all amd stuff.

I actually am pretty healthy in the sense of not getting the flu or other such ailments. I did feel sick to my stomach a few days ago out of the blue, which was odd, because that doesn't usually happen to me. But I haven't had the flu in years, or anything else like that. I've probably had colds, but never to the point that they've kept me in bed. I just get a stuffy nose and cough more in the winter, off and on. Anyway, I think that a lot of my family's good health is due to the fact that we eat a healthy lunch every single day. We have steamed vegetables and a meat dish. I really do believe that I am healthier because of this, and I'm really thankful for our good lunches. ^_^

i used to but its just cold or some thing its not because of vitamins and its only for a few hours or 1 day maximum.

I'm never ill, ever. A few weeks back my whole family and my girlfriend came down with a flu type illness and were all really under the weather, i started feeling the same symptoms they were so i just went out and carried on like i normally would, and the symptoms disappeared. I then went to the pub and had a great evening. It seems nothing can get me down, touch wood.

this is the first year I did not get the flu shot. Boy was I sick. Almost three weeks of a serious cough and it lingered for many more. I have learned my lesson. Next year, it's a flue shot for me.

I don't get the flu often, though I seem to be getting the silly stomach flu more. I take my daily vitamins, eat well, exercise and obsessively wash my hands. I refuse the flu shot too. I use to get it but I always seemed to get sick more often. Now I have been flu free for three years. (knock on wood). Best of luck to ya! Hope the basic stuff I said helps.

No often, because I'm just supplied with protein, minerals food. I don't like junk food. Suplement of Vitamin C is good but just for a variation.

I rarely ever get sick. I attribute that to eating right, excersizing, and taking vitamins. Vitamins are so important to maintaining health these days.

Very rarely. And even if I do get sick I get better within 4 days without medications.

Im always getting sick. Whether it be a Flu, cold, headache. I'm a Amusement park for Diseases. I can't get away from them. I don't like Shots so no Flu shot for me!!
