Well, I get a cold now and then but nothing that would keep me from work... Until this season, I got the flu in early October. Then I had a sinus infection. Then I had a allergic drug interaction. It was a bad week. I always said it was because of the flu shot I get every year. I haven't gotten the flu shot yet because I was scheduled to get it the week I was sick. I do wonder what will happen when we have kids. I'm sure our kids will catch something from daycare and give it to us.

I originally thought my hubs had the stronger immune system, but now he gets sick more often than me! So I don't know what happened, haha. rawrasaur on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-8223 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:06:46 +0000 rawrasaur 8223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I typically only get sick once every two years or so. The exception being when I was student teaching with 4-5 year olds and I was sick the entire time it seemed. looch on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-8215 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:56:04 +0000 looch 8215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't get sick often. My last major-out-of-work sickness was 2 years ago. I got a cold that turned into a lung infection that lasted 3 months. Good times! mrsjyw on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-8170 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:32:43 +0000 mrsjyw 8170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't get sick often (knock on wood) and when I come down with a cold, I'm usually able to sweat it out after a long nap/sleep. DH on the other hand has a weak immune system, he used to get 3-4 colds per winter season. The last year or so, he's regimented his vitamin intake and last winter he got by without getting a cold at all (knock on wood). I am prone to nausea and migraines, so I'm bracing myself for morning sickness & etc. with pregnancy. duetletterpress on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-8092 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:49:21 +0000 duetletterpress 8092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ not really. usually once a year. maybe twice. i think i read somewhere that the typical adult gets sick 3 times a year. tequiero21 on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-8055 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:50:24 +0000 tequiero21 8055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ typically, i never get sick, but my throat is very sore right now. i hope i'm not coming down with anything.

Every since Mavi's been in daycare I've been sick just like him every 3 weeks to 1 month. Nothing crazy, just annoying.

The hubs is a wimp when it comes to sickness - he thinks a cold is considered to be a serious illness. Is it just me or are men babies when they're not feeling weel?

I have a really, really weak immune system and was actually in an outpatient hospital setting for two weeks in high school while they ran a bunch of tests. They never came to a consensus of why I get sick so much. Luckily, it's improved as I've gotten older. Husband has a rock solid immune system though...except for during vacations. He is never, ever sick until we have some fun vacation planned (like our trip to Alaska this past summer where he actually contemplated staying at the hotel and sleeping while the rest of went on our glacier cruise. Luckily, I convinced him to come and being in the cool, fresh air actually helped him feel a bit better. And the scenery didn't exactly make him miserable).

I have gotten sick more since the LO started day care since she brings home the most germs. chopsuey on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-7866 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:23:30 +0000 chopsuey 7866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get sick maybe once a year. I'm more susceptible to illness when I'm sleep deprived. Husband hardly ever gets sick. mrbee on "Do you get sick often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-sick-often#post-7864 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:47:53 +0000 mrbee 7864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My immune system is simply feeble. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bee has an immune system of iron! She once caught something from me that had laid me out for two weeks. She had it for two days, and then promptly gave it back to me and of course it laid me out for another two weeks. I hope that our kids have her immune system, and not mine! Do you get sick often? What about your SO?
