I want to know who cast insidious malady on me.

They do that at bachelor parties, too. 
I feel your pain. *hug*Flu shot is on Monday. I hope I don't get the flu from it.
The cancer treatments weakened my immune system, so things do kind of hit me harder than others at times. It's better for me to let the flu virus try to get past my defenses first, than to inject it, even a weakened strain, directly into my bloodstream to wreack havoc there.
My mom got a flu shot this year and she's been sicker than a dog. Doubt she'll get one again, either. It may be something in my genes, but we just don't react well to them, and it's healthier for us to forgo them.

Whenevr my sister's boyfreind gets the shot, he gets the whole 2-3 weeks sicker thena dog thing. EVERY TIME. So he'd rather just try and avoid it on his own.
Me, on the other hand, if I DO get it, it's likely to lead to bronchitis/pneumonia, and vaccines are happy for me, so it's smarter to get the vaccine.

Me = Complete Opposite. I've missed somewhere between 2 and 4 days of school Kindergarten through 12th grade for being sick.
Never got a flu shot, never needed it.

He's coughing into gift boxes as we speak. Remember that episode of the Simpsons where everyone got the Osaka flu from those juice machines?

Yeah.. I was afraid of that myself.
But wait... this means we get the panda flu!
The flu sucks. I feel your pain.
im praying I dont get sick because once I get into the warm weather again it wont ever leave!
It's like hook me up to an IV of Orange Juice please! When I was sick I didn't want to eat at all. I went an entire week eating nothing but a bowl of soup one day because UBT forced me.
This flu is bad.
Get better!
I puked up moss green water. 
..... 
Every winter I develope EITHER Bronchitus, or a Sinus Infection.
I haven't gotten either this year though. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid it for once.
My Immune system kicks ass. Had a friend who's entire household had strep once. I went over and played video games all day and didn't even get a cough.
Recently, I had a friend who was out with the flu for like a week. He was running a fever the whole time, and thus, was contagious. Went over and watched movies and played games and stuff with him to keep him company every day. Didn't catch a thing.
Now I'm sick.

Then I get whammied. Or cold air gets on me and it makes all this crap in my lungs congeal or something. Ugh.
Least we have orange juice now. And I have tea. Hot tea. Just the vapors are soothing.

I owe Deth big time, though. He just went out with me to Wal-Mart to get mine and Mom's layaways out. There is a large chair that Mom is giving me for Christmas (I knew about it, was there when she put it in) and I never would have gotten that in the car on my own.

But you can't get better if you don't prac--oh...not that kind of getting better...
However, once I'm sick... my immune system leaves for the Bahamas or something. I stay sick for weeks, sometimes I relapse or get secondary infections... it sucks mightily.
So I try very hard to get over colds the second I get them. I've worked out a bit of a system: when you begin feeling under the weather, drink a lot of orange juice. Like, a huge amount. If you can drink an entire half-gallon container of the stuff, do so. It's good hydration, lots of healthy cold-fighting nutrients, and enough caloric intake to keep you satiated for the next full day if you actually do get hit with the thing. Also, eat garlic. Not just take a bite out of a clove of the stuff, but eat foods which contain a lot of fresh, crushed garlic. Garlic is a cold-fighter, and the pasta which you'd be eating it on most likely is also a good provider of energy for later on - just in case.
Then, wrap up in a huge comforter, and sleep for as much of the day as you can. Give your immune system the chance to operate uninterrupted and such. Take some NyQuil if need be, but for the first day try to avoid OTC medications. They lower fevers, and on the "incoming illness" day you actually want your fever to be somewhat strong. Nothing above 101, but high enough to slow the spread of the cold while it's developing. Gives you a chance to fight it off before it gets hold.
Did this yesterday, when I was coming down with some total crud stuff - and I ended up waking up today feeling perfectly fine... but lacking a voice. No clue how that happened. At least I'm not totally sick for my last final tomorrow, in any case.
