The impossible has occurred: I have a cold!

I am exactly like you, I never get sick, I did not get a cold for at least 40 years and I am very sick right now, cold, cough, headache. I have no idea who passed me this horrible thing.

Hope you feel better, I get a cold rarely, maybe twice a year. Lots of vitamin c does the trick for me

I think I get one or two a year. And so far this year I have not had one. Get well soon!

I think my last cold was somewhere in the early 70's @TheHorse . I even took care of my husband and his friend in the 80's when they got the Hong Kong Flu...never got it.

I had a cold a while ago but it seems to have gone now thank goodness. Before that it had been ages since I'd had a cold.

It would be easier to catch the germs if you're around little ones with colds. I posted a discussion last November titled "Cold Free". I haven't had a cold in years.

Knock on wood...I've been pretty healthy other than my sinuses. There was a really bad cold/flu going around and I didn't get it!! Hope you get to feeling better real soon!!

I hope you feel better soon. I forget the last time I had a cold. It has been awhile.

I take a lot of EmergenC and airborn and vitamins and stuff, because kids I swear are walking germ factories

I go from one school to another substitute teaching. I try really hard to keep healthy and I rarely get sick. Hubby got a cold in the fall and then I got it. Hopefully that is it. It does seem that new teachers get sick frequently and that we gradually get immune to Everything!

No, I'm just the opposite. I think being around a lot of kids just makes you sick. Hope you feel better. Take some zinc.

The best remedy is squeeze a lime with honey and take 3 spoons from every hour and the cold goes away pretty fast

Definitely from kids you catch easier cold then being around grown people.

I don't usually get cold often, thanks God.

Garlic! Someone recommended hot milk or water with small pieces of garlic..Another drink is warm water with cinnamon and honey.. The honey works in below +40C Get well soon! To prevent colds.. 10 drops of Echinaforce morning and evening.. from A. Vogel..

One or two last year but not very much either. However this week is a real challenge with the temps going right down. On the other side of this Country they will be having problems to stay well too as their calid coastline has seen Snow for the first time in years and its still snowing too. However seeing as it has not rained there for so many many months I would think that might be quite happy about it not sure though.

No..I think being around little ones increases the possibility of us getting those cold attacks..lol. You are funny..lol. You have not been eating well, and in all probability something is weighing on your mind. I do get cold...may be once in three months or so. :) It is good to get sick a few times in an year. It kinda ensure the presence of enough antibodies in there to fight anything major. Hope you feel better.

Uhm... if you are interested in knowing this, being around children doesn't inoculate you against all the germs kids bring into school with them. I believe you must take some protective measures, even if you don't think of what you are doing as prevention against the germs. I've often wondered about how you never seem to be sick, like most teachers I've met... I figured either a very good immune system or you were unconsciously taking good precautions against catching the worst of the germs... Now, if only you took those same precautions when you were doing "other" things!

I'm currently suffering from my first cold for a couple of years.

Down with cold and fever since 2days...
