How often do you get sick?

i normally dont, specially cough and flu. its funny coz even if my colleagues nor family already suffering from flu and cough im the only one whose not affected. doctor says that i have strong Immune System thats why im not get easily affected. to the fact also that if i already feel the symptoms like itchy nose and throat instead of taking medicine like what other do, i didnt. instead, i squeeze orange juice nor lemon and drink it pure without adding some water or sugar or if you want you can make a lemonade out of warm water and avoid cold water. i keep on drinking it till the itchiness gone and of course just rest a bit. Everyone knows even doctor advise that drinking fruit juice or atleast eat orange a day will boast our immune system. and i always have oranges in my table and take 1 everyday. maybe thats why i have a strong immune system...

Hi, borg246. I heard that being negative can make one cause themselves to be sick too. This happened with my mother-in-law. With her being so mean to me, sickness has came upon her body so many of times. I had the Flu in October. I was very sick. I could not talk at all. My voice was hoarse and I was coughing a lot. I am glad that I am not sick anymore. I hated being ill. I could not enjoy myself like I wanted to. I could not eat the foods that I enjoy. It was so aggravating.

I do not get sick very often, In fact I had just a slight cold this past 2009 so far. I don't think having negative thought have anything with catching a bug or virus. I have always believed it is not what happens to you that matters, it is how you react to it and deal with it.

Thank God I don't get sick that often at all. I may have been sick once this whole year. As for what your mom says yes I believe if you are a negative person you will get sick alot more because how you mentally feel has alot to do with your physical body. It all plays into it. So the happier you are the better you feel which will help your immune system to work better for you. I hope you get healthy real soon and stay healthy. Take care.

Hi borg246, Of course,a person with negative energy may cause you some damage.Well,i don't get sick often.Because i am very careful about my diet and regular check up of the entire body with the doctors.Regular sleep and exercise also are important for good health so consider them too.

Hi Borg This is actually a very good discussion that you have brough to the notice of all about falling sick quite often specially cold, flu, fever and cough. I felt sick about 4 times in the past couple of months and I hate myself to be sick with the same symptoms. What your mother told you is one of the reasons but not necessarily always because it might lead to trauma and other such things with negative thoughts. However, the sickness which relates to flu and fever is more related to the resistance of the body which is the immune system. If your immune system is weak, the ability to fight the diseases will be less and that's when the foreign bodies will attack and settle inside the body. I personally feel that this is true. I have a less Hemoglobin count which is below the normal level and due to this I tend to fall sick very often. The only option to avoid such frequent sickness is good sleep and balanced diet.

I've been very fortunate in this regard as I can't even remember the last time I fell sick, it must have been years. I'm grateful to GOD for blessing me with such tremendous health and I hope to grow from strength to strength. I used to train hard in the gym but have been focused more on my career of late, but the efforts at gym are still showing in my health. My immunity has sure improved over the years because in my early years I could get sick relatively often.

i get sick very seldom. and most of the time, it happens when climate changes. like for example its christmas time and cold and then suddenly comes hot late january, expect me to have colds which often times causes my fever. being too emotional on things that lead us to being negative can sometimes cause illnesses i believe. medicines can help. being happy can be more effective though.

Hi! I get sick very rarely- maybe 1-2 times per year. And it's nothing serious- just a cold or a running nose

Ofcourse being negative and thinking in the negative way gives us illness. May be this is one of the reason,but due to our negligence to wards healthy living also causes us to be sick.Dust around us,Food we intake.Water we drink ,every thing is to be cautiously taken.Preventing is better than cure.

I get cold frequently. Whenever I get out in cold weather I get fever, cold or cough.

Yes i think being a negative person somewhat does effect your sickness. I take quite a lot of vitamins in order to stay healthy, especially with the H1N1 virus going around. However, i do get sick sometimes, but not that commonly. My sickensses always involved a simple cold, cough and sometimes a fever. I have not got sick that often this year. In the past 3 months i only got sick 2 times. I don't know if thats a lot or a bit. But for me thats the minimum that i get per 3 months or so.

hello... My daily dose of vitamin C and fruits keeps me away from colds, flu and cough. As to diarrhea, I often experience his after drinking milk. I am lactose intolerant but still I continue to drink milk when I hardly cannot sleep. As to the belief that being a negative thinker causes sickness, I agree. Sometimes when I do not want to go out with my friendss but my parents would ot allow me or perhaps I am not into the mood to go to work, it is as if I am getting sick. So I think our energies especially negative ones creates psychological reactions that makes us feel sick. =)

whoa. i feel weird. I do get sick for twice a year. i dont know. I aint expose myself to pollution. and i dont let my problems ruin my day. maybe having a good outlook on life everyday may help. or scientifically speaking, why not try taking vitamin C. maybe that'll help you boost your immunity. Less absences(due to sickness) = more earning from work.:)

In a month I would say not all the time. So I have to guess it would be twice or three times in a year that I get sick due to my tonsils. Whenever my tonsils gets hit by viruses or bacteria I get sick like anything that I end up staying in bed for a week. But other than that, I hardly get sick. So nowadays I make sure I eat healthy so that i do not get sick more often than I'm supposed to.

For me ones a year but now I love to drink herbal food's medicine about two years old.

hi borg! i think this year i only got sick 2 or 3 times and it is normal colds, i maintain good health and living so it's seldom for me to get sick...being negative person not exact source why your are getting sick but it contributes due to stress..

I usually got sick three or four times a year,usually caught a cold ,but I have never got a fever ! I always got sick in winter when the temperature is low. My body was healthy,I think ,just before . This winter, things go bad. My left shoulder hurts badly and I don't know why...I took some medicine, it worked !But today it starts again ... I have to see the doctor ! I read that you often get sick ,I suggest that you take more exercises and go to your doctor's regularly! Wish you fine!

As for myself, I got sick about 5-9 times a year. I think I am quite negative, and it is at least an auxiliary source of health problem. I don't know why those pills doesn't help you strengthen the immune system. Maybe you can try some authentic Chinese herbs. It has very bad taste, but quite good to health. Also it is important to be less "negative", maybe just try to be more sociable with "positive" people, do some interesting things and make yourself feel better about yourself and about life in general.

hi Borg i used to only get sick a few times in the winter months but ever since i got pregnant last year i have constant colds that can last up to 10 days, and i would say im sick twice a month to, but my son who is now 11 months and was born premature never catches my colds event though im his sole parent. i do think if youre constantly negative bad things will happen but then if your a negative person something which you may construe as bad might actually be something positive to someone else, every cloud and all that.
