I think I have a cold.

[MorganFreeman911]

Damnit. My nose is stuffed and my throat hurts. My eyes are watering and I have a headache. Do I have a cold? Most likely.

Do any of you guys have colds aswell?

I'm sweating like a pig actually, since its so hot here right now. The AC is malfunctioning.

Other than that, I feel fantastic. Immune system is as solid as a brick wall. Every time I feel like i'm gonna get sick, or feel something abnormal about how i'm feeling, I take an immune system boosting zinc, and an immune system boosting vitamin c pill.

 

[Vegeta897]

No colds so far.. I'm glad.

 

[Potemkin]

I was about to come down with a real monster of a cold the other week, but my immune system fought valiantly. I got a little tired and got a runny nose, but after that it was uphill again.

All in all, I like my immune system. I get a cold once a year on average, and that's it. I don't think I've ever had anything worse than a common cold. Wait... Yes, when I was very little I had chicken pox. My sister on the other hand has a real crummy immune system. She's almost always battling one thing or another; most commonly common colds (ahaha see what I did there?).

I can attribute a lot of positive effects to proper nutrition and rigorous exercise, but my immune system is not one of them. It's always been the same.

And as Raziaar pointed out, supplemental doses of zinc and vitamin C can work wonders. My sister seems to have great faith in that combination.

 

[Raziaar]

I started taking them recently, cause I kept getting sick ALL the time. Several times a year, which was no fun at all. Haven't gotten sick yet since taking the pill combinations.

I don't take them daily or anything... its just that when i'm feeling slightly under the weather, or my throat is acting up or something... i'll take one of each. Then things seem to be fine.

They're just small pills... 500mg dose for the vitamin C... 50 mg dose for the zinc.

I do

 

[dfc05]

I don't. I probably should. I know 3 people (including my roommate) who had colds in the past couple of weeks and could have given me their cold germs. And considering that I've been getting 3-5 hours of sleep a night for the past couple of weeks, you'd think my immune system would be screwed up. But I haven't gotten sick yet.

 

[Jintor]

My immune system keeps me thankfully free from viruses and ills.

@ Hazar

Suck it up biznitch! It's just a cold.

How touching everyday objects spreads colds

So basically most all of us are already carrying the common cold with us. It's just when our immune systems are compromised do we get sick.

 

[Baal]

I am still a little sick, I got sick a week ago and it slowly went away through the week.

 

[MiccyNarc]

Haven't gotten sick since I started working out.

 

[Terminator]

You're right about the zinc and vitamin C.

If i was ever to get ill i would take 1000mg vitamin C, 30mg zinc, echinacea, 4g ornithine alpha ketoglutarate, 10g l glutamine, 5mg Q10 and some raw garlic.

I hardly get ill ever tho, it's mainly down to a good diet.

 

[StardogChampion]

I've had about 1 cold per year for about 5 years after leaving my bedroom window open all the time, including mainly at night. It lets fresh air in all the time.

 

[Bad^Hat]

I'm not, but my brother is. Really bad cold with asthma and the whole lot. Been through like 5 boxes of tissues :x

 

[JNightshade]

I'm a little sick, but I'm also ridiculously hung over. I got home at 11, went to bed, woke up at 4 and puked on my bed, then all over my bathroom. Spent the next hour cleaning up vodka, code red, and bile in a drunken stupor. Now my stomach feels like it's been inverted, my head feels like it's full of wool, and my privileges feel like they're about to be revoked. Gotta love it

Your privileges have feelings?

Oh great, now you've gone and hurt them! :/

Better?

Back on topic: I'm actually feeling kind of under the weather myself, kind of pissed about it since I missed out on friday night because of it.

[Raziaar]

Eh I never really get colds, but I do often suffer from a hayfever type thing. If I get too stressed and tired I'll come down with sore runny eyes, running nose, constant sneezing etc for a day or so. Antihistamines do nothing and all I can do is wait it out.. luckily, I'm usually fine after a good nights sleep.

The last time I was actually ill was probably a chest infection a few years ago

Last major time I was sick that I remember was when I had posted here about how I had Walking pneumonia. Not fun.

Walking pneumonia
1.antibiotics
2.United States
3.World War II
4.Hitler


DAMN.

Update: my parents are fine with it, and my privileges are here to stay. Yays!
