You catch cold very easy or you are a strong person who never catch cold?

No i seem to be the first person to catch a cold always among my family and friends. it also takes me weeks to recover. I'm definatley not strong in the immune system.

I catch usually only one cold every two years. Occasionally, like if the mutations in colds and flus are particularly nasty I'll get two in one year and one in the next. I usually don't take any medications when I catch them and cure them with spices, tons of garlic, citrus, and swear off sugar and dairy for a few days (sugar supresses the immune system which is working so hard to oust the virus for you...making its job harder and extends the length of time you're sick and dairy kickstarts the mucus glands which're already working overtime to flush the virus out thanks to that immune system of yours). I don't go to the doctor either. If things're severe enough that I can't sleep on my usual regimen of all this, I will break down and buy some cold medicine for congestion -- but taking is sparingly and only when necessary. Self-treatment has worked out fine for me...as I always get over colds alot quicker than most people around me do.

My immune system is always circling the toilet. I pick up everything. Even if it's not so bad when someone else gets, it I'll get a worse version. I tell my assistants not to come when they're sick because I don't want to deal with the cold, flu, or whatever it is. Once, when a couple of years ago, my assistants and I kept sharing back and forth the same cold. Finally, it was decided that when I was better one of my assistants who had been sent home to recover would take care of me until all of my other assistants had also recovered. They didn't like working for two weeks straight but it worked. I think it we hadn't tried that, I'd still be passing back and forth the same cold. I don't actually know how I get colds since I drink more orange juice than any person ought to. I think it has to do with my allergy medication which is an immuno-suppressent, but I need that to breath so I'm staying on it.

I have not had a cold or the flu for years. I try to keep my immune system in good shape so it can fight that sort of thing off naturally and i do not have to worry to much about it. I eat right, get plenty of exercise, and supplement with what my body needs.

I can have a cold even in the summer months i do not know why.This summer i had a cold as well as a kind of a flu virus that made me soo ill i stayed in bed for 4 days.I have a flu jab ready for the winter months every year and i always end up with a cold after i have had that.I usually pass my cold on to my friends and family then i end up having the cold again myself.

Well i just normally take some paracetamol and im ok if and when i catch a cold. Besides which thats exactly what a doctor would tell you to do :) so i guess your just saving there time and more importantly yours. Pete

Usually I don't get sick very much at all. I haven't spent much time in my life being sick, maybe 1 cold a year. This year I've already been sick 3 or 4 times. I'm still getting over the flu! I don't normally go to the doctor for it unless I think it's worse than just your average cold or flu. If I have a bad sore throat I'll have that looked at to make sure I don't need antibiotics. Or if my ears ache I'll have that looked at. Anything that might need a prescription medicine to clear up, then I'll go see the doctor. Otherwise I'll just try to rest and wait for it to go away on it's own.

Hello icesmile, well to talk about cold i never catch cold faster but if i get it then it completly irritates me.these days i am getting irritated lot.i even got the cough and i am scared because i can get easily infected by swine flu as i am staying in area where its most populated by these patients these days..

I don't catch cold easily, I can't say that I have better immune system, but thanks to all the vitamins I take... Especially Vitamin C! Take some Vitamin C as well

Well this year I plan on getting a flu shot for sure, so yes, I do get the cold very very easily and always around fall time. And I usually have to go to the doctor because if I don't treat it, usually it turns into something worse like bronchitis. Its so funny though, my boyfriend is the complete opposite he rarely ever get sick. And hes the same way as you are, he likes to 'fight it' when he is sick and not go to the doctors. Sometimes it worries me because he gets it real bad but his immune system is amazing because he always pulls through.

So do I.I just caught a cold two days ago due to the tepmperature differences.T never go to see a doctor when I catch cold.I just drink more water and it will recover on its own.However,it always takes me about a week to get rid of the cold.

i usually very easy to get Cold. Just a few rain drop in my head, and then, after a few hour, i will get Cold. But the Cold usually doesnt really bad. In a day or two, the cold already gone. I Usually never take medicine in the first day, but after two day, i take generic medicine for cold that was sold freely. If in five or six day my body still feel the cold, i go to the doctor then. Thats for me.

i catch cold whenever there is a slight change in the climate and i really hate it and these days i got habituated with it and trying to cure myself using some regular medicines as there is a quote saying an old patient is better than a new doctor.i feel its working for me

I don't catch cold easily. Maybe because I take care of myself very well. But once I catch a cold, I get very sick that lasts for about 3 days.

I don't catch bad colds very often, but I do have minor ones now and then. I never go to a doctor with them because a doctor can't do anything about a virus, except tell you to get plenty of rest and drink a lot of clear liquids, take something for aches and pains and deal with it until it's over. I take echinacea when I feel one coming on and do like you - rest, take chicken soup, tea and so on.

Hi icesmile, I guess I am very fortunate because I almost never catch a cold, in fact I'm rarely sick at all. I think you're wise to follow your grandmother's advice, especially when it comes to a cold because there are some excellent home remedies that work very well. Blessings.

hi icesmile, there is a good remedy to get rid of your cold,i am also having that type cold regularly,now i am using "Tulasi" ,by picking some Tulasi plant leaves wash them and swallow the same regularly,gradually your cold be stopped try it and let me know the results,now i am doing the same,have a nice day

My friend, garlic, usually keeps me in a good state of health. I like to cook with it and I also keep the supplements around the house for all sorts of things. I have read that garlic not only has an antibiotic affect but also an antiviral affect. I have a recipe for chicken noodle soup that I make from scratch which calls for a whole bulb of garlic being added to the chicken pot. When I make that soup, we all seem to stay healthy. I also like to use baked garlic as a spread on my bread instead of butter. I just think it tastes better. So, whenever I get the sniffles, it's time for me to break out the garlic.

hi ice, i just had a bout with colds lately. just took some fever relieving pill and antibiotics and am fine again. i take lot of liquid, citrus fruits and am fine and back to normal. mom tells me take vitamin c. ann

I get sick only certain times of the year. My sinuses in the spring are soooo bad. I can't talk for like 3 weeks and my nose is all gross. I just live with nyquil in my hand those weeks. Lots of orange juice and stuff. its so bad. I'm a singer too so losing my voice is so bad. I hate being sick. I get regular colds only once a year or so and rarely ever get stomach flus. But I take pretty good care of myself and try to keep healthy.
