I'm a magnet for the common cold.

[Seriana]

I honestly feel this way. Maybe my immune system is just trashed from something, or I have some defect in me, but I get at least 2 or 3, usually more, ailments of the cold and flu every year.

So every year, around February, May, July, and November, I can expect that I will most likely feel those familiar aches, pains, runny noses, congestion, and lethargy forcing me to act even more of a dick than usual.

I suppose my best solution is lots of vitamin C, but those mother fuckers at school seem to just love passing it around, as much as the girls love sharing STDs.

I thought you should know.

I get a lot of colds. I dont think I wrap up well enough for the weather.

[Mind-Edge]

I'm usually sick only once per year.

[saltovergray]

i have been to the doctor's office five times in the last two months, at least it isn't as bad as last year.

I would take flu shots, but I'd probrably just collapse inwards and get the virus instead of becoming immune to it.

I live in Ireland the cold is common in the summer & it is winter now so imagine what it is like.

Your organism is VERY weak, weaker than a dude's who has HIV and cancer at the same time while bleeding to death.

Obvious signs of HIV.

That would be constant, not just periodic.

I was like that until this year.
I don't know if people are more sick, but I've had a stuffed nose, cough, infection, or whatever almost every week this year. Not kidding.
Probably because people in my school barely wash their fucking hands. It's sick.

[The-evil-bucket]

Look on the bright side, you can only get the common cold 200 or so times in your life!

[MOST-REQUESTED]

chicken soup = the answer

Do you know that it's actually been proven that if you believe you will get sick or you believe you are sick when you aren't than you are several times more likley to besome sick than someone who doesn't believe that they're going to get sick or that they are sick.

First step is denial.

I got two colds this year, with only a few weeks between them. I was on holiday the first time, which was annoying, and the second time I was so pissed off, I was like "I just had a cold, why do I need another?!"

I tend to get a lot of headaches as well. I wake up and feel my head pounding, and it's like "...not again..."

[Britkid]

Wait wait, you get the runs when it's cold, when there's a lot of pollen, and when it's very hot?

You're a normal person! Shit, what can you do?

[Insert-Pie]

I used to only get sick once a year, some years not at all, but in the last few years I've been getting sick heaps. The reason? I pretty much blame alcohol. Every time I've been sick lately it's a day or two after getting on the piss.
