I've got laryngitis. Missed 3 days of work last week. Still sick, and it's morphed into something worse- maybe bronchitis. Still haven't gone to a doctor. I always get sick in november- wtf?

I have tonsilitis. Been sick for almost 2 weeks and have been to the doctor 4 times (they suck). Havent taken a sick day yet but I feel like crap.

None of the above, just odd cramps in my muscles and a troublesome problem of falling asleep everytime I sit a in a moving vehicle- out cold in under 5, regardless of whether I'm acutally tired.

I've had two minor colds and two quick cases of the squirts in my 5 years in Korea. Think healthy, be healthy. It's all in the mind.

Me too, Eamo

Eat healthily and you won't be sick. This is coming from someone who poisons himself with Soju and cigs, hates the cold and I'm rarely ill.

Eat Kimchie and "gwen chahn a yo".

Amazingly, I haven't been sick since last March. Here's hoping I can make it through the winter unscathed. If I do get ill, though, I'll take a head cold over the gastroenteritis I suffered from last January. Not good times.

I don't like the thesis that 'having a cold' is to do with cold weather.

A cold is a contagious virus that one can catch any time of the year.

I'm just getting over tonsillitis too. I've been sick for three weeks. I went to the doctor and he gave me a shot that made me feel stoned for a few hours and a whole lote of placebos. I feel like crap.

it's just easier to catch a cold in the winter because your body is busy trying to warm you up and can't do all the anti-viral things it usually does

Fine thanks.

But the comment above from someone who got a shot at the doctor's office & felt stoned made me chuckle. Yesterday in an adult class one of my students said she'd just gone in for a shot & I asked if she felt better.

"Yes, but I feel ..." she struggled for a word ... "insane."
