So, how often do you get sick? Do you usually get sick during the winter season too? Have you ever missed school?

I hardly ever got sick growing up. Up until about four or five, I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out at the same time. I did get sick a lot before that. After though, I stopped getting so sick every time. The closest I get to being even a bit sick is usually allergy-related. :c

I get sick about once or twice a year with a cold/flu, it usually lasts about a week before it starts to lighten up for me.
I have missed school, when I was in school. Especially when I was a kid because it would get really bad, one time I was out for a week and everyone was happy to see me back in the end xD

Never had strep or tonsillitis, but I had the whooping cough.

Jokes on you, I've not been sick for a few years now.

(But maybe I will get sick as soon as I post this?)
I… might put something interesting here eventually.

The sickest time I had on my whole life was when I got a problem with my blood, missed one and a half week of school.

You'll only get sick if you say never. :P I'm in the same boat as you though. I hardly ever get sick, if at all. I can't remember a time when I was truly sick.

I have high anxiety and downright horrible health. Surprisingly tho, I don't usually get affected by a disease. This year is going to end and I haven't suffered from cold or anything. My anxiety gives me random body aches and I had to get a root canal this year (I brush my teeth, ok) that's about it...but health still sucks :P

I would say only a few times a year, and most of the times they're just minor colds anyway. I've never noticed any kind of increase in sickness during any season. I did get some nasty flu once back during one winter (Jan/Feb 2009, I believe), but that was less because it was winter and more because I had spent some time around a family who had just gotten over their own round of that flu.

(I got a cold while I was visiting them. "Oh, is that all?" I thought. "This is nothing." But then this turns into a warning to never tempt fate because SEVERAL WEEKS LATER yeah I'm knocked down with something far worse, eh heh.)

Worst I've had in recent times was that sinus infection that had me down for a week, back around the beginning of September. And even that wasn't as bad as some things I've had before. Just had no energy to do anything - and sometimes some bad pain in my sinuses, but hey.

(And yes, I did miss school at times. Hello pneumonia, hello four illnesses at once which included strep and bronchitis if I recall correctly :D, hello...okay, I don't remember many more of the bigger things I got back then, but yeah. There were definitely times I had to stay home because there was no way I was going to school.)

just came down with some weird quasi-flu type thing on Saturday. was completely incapacitated on Sunday, hardly got up from the couch at all and watched I think 17 episodes of The Office and had a fever, a headache, etc, then yesterday it was basically the same thing except a little better and I got to stay home from school. today I went to school but we had a half-day so it wasn't particularly trying and I'm feeling a lot better.

For some reason, I'm quite resistant to flu. I do suffer a common cold but it's usually short-lived, and I have missed school due to illness once but it was often rare.

I very rarely fall ill but these past two+ weeks I've been to three different hospitals, had travelling doctors to my house four times and seen a GP twice. Glad my health is slowly returning.

My health and I are not the bestest of friends. I joined PC when I got really sick, out of the boredom that comes with being home all the time. I'm still recovering from that, although I'm not that sick anymore. It has left me with a terrible immune system though, and most other infections can still get me pretty bad.

I can't remember the last time that I went to the doctor, to be honest. I have severe sinus issues that make me feel like I've caught the funk at times, but I've never spiked a fever with it. Knock on wood though, the flu season is about to start and I've never caught it before. I've heard some say that it's worse than food poisoning.

I always end up getting sick about once a year, its always when summer breaks and autumn starts coming into full force and I usually get a terrible cold, and that leads to bronchitus.

Although this year I did not, because upstate NY has been a really REALLY weird summer/fall, in terms of weather. I'm not sure what it is but the weather up here is very spurratic and unpredictable one day its 70 the next its 36. Whatever though... I<3NY
...and then there were none

I usually don't get sick, until this past week. About a week ago I was stuck in bed for a couple days with some weird head cold thing. I thought I was finally done with it until today when it came back and hit my throat like a truck. Now I'm just eating cough drops like a madman.

But I usually don't get sick, maybe only a few times a year.

I get the cold maybe 2/3 times a year but i've never really been one to get really bad bouts of illness and I dont think ive ever actually been sick from an one apart from food poisoning from a burger king as a kid. most times I was off school I was just faking it ;)

I always figured I must have a really awesome immune system

Totally going to jInx myself now aren't I?

I almost never get sick. If anything I'll get a cold 2-3 times in a year, estimated. And probably one of those times will be bad enough for me to miss school.

I get sick all the time, lol. T_T Sleep is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy and my sleep is terrible (through no fault of my own though...!) so my immune system isn't very good. Thankfully, I don't get really sick very much. But it's still not uncommon for me to get one or two colds a month. I've gotten the flu (or something like it??) at least twice already this year, neither time in flu season.

Last year I got really sick once or twice and that sucked a lot. I can't even remember any time I'd been that sick in the last decade and it happened in quick succession near the end of the year. This year, even though I've gotten a lot of colds, they were really mild and in a lot of cases barely went past a bad case of sniffles. I can handle that, but those weeks last year where I had a constant fever or would be nauseous for an entire month? Yeeeugh, never again please. It makes me really appreciate the days when I'm not sick though, at least!
