Current Events > Anyone else rarely gets sick?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I might get ill once every 3 or more years. It would suck for about a day or so and then a I'm all good.
Feels good, yo.

I was sick all the time as a kid, but these days I don't even get seasonal allergies anymore. Only two or three times in almost a decade have I been sick, and one of those was the omega variant of covid.

I can't even imagine what COVID must feel like. I've somehow managed to avoid it all this time, I intend on keeping it that way.

I don't get sick-sick very often, but I get "cold-like" symptoms like 9 months of the year. Doctors are extremely confused. My white blood count is super wacky, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's low, but I don't have any of the usual diseases/conditions aligned with such a thing. Some of them think it's some kind of super weird mix of allergies + thyroid issues causing it, other ones are just "...I have literally no idea, but if you're not sick enough to be hospitalized, then uh... I'll just monitor it and wait and see?"

That said, I do get sick-sick literally every year around Christmas. It's like a curse. My family used to think it was because that's when kids got sick often during school, yet parents had them attend, anyway, since Christmas vacation was coming up, but the trend continued even past school.

The best doctor guess is that I had really bad pneumonia as a baby and almost died, and they think that fucked up my immune system in ways they can't really figure out.

I rarely get sick. Hardly ever did as a kid. I had a period where I used to get sick yearly but it was when all my coworkers had young kids in school and they all went to different school districts so those disease carriers would infect their parents then I would get exposed at work.

But that was like 20 years ago, all my coworkers kids are grown and gone now so its back to normal. Last time I was sick was end of 2019, very beginning of 2020. So it is coming up on 4 years since my last illness and even then it wasn't major. It usually hits me good for a day or two then goes away. At one time I went like a decade without being sick.

I'm not around a lot of people so I don't get exposed to a lot of things these days. But this is as far as cold/flu type stuff goes. in my day to say life I got sick about 10 years ago and to skip all the details I have some bad gut issues and have to avoid gluten/dairy/soy/alcohol/caffeine because of this issue I have. it's not like life threatening but it has greatly altered my life and my ability to eat normal.

Depends if you count allergies acting up or not. My allergies are pretty bad, but I rarely ever catch colds, and I've never had the flu, or covid or even had food poisoning.

I do not get sick ever. Just allergies and one time I had a cough for like a month for some reason. I only ever feel sick after a flu/covid shot.

I get a cold once a year or two. I had COVID, and my symptoms weren't bad. Those are my only illnesses in adulthood.

Same. A get a cold for a couple days every 1-3 years, and I had Covid a few times with almost no symptoms.

I used to rarely ever get sick, MAYBE once a year

After the covid shots, I feel like someone sneezes and I get sick

Multiple times a month now, just a weird coincidence maybe

1.5 times a year (3 in 2 years usually).

Often in early Sept,.probably because summer's end & school's in to re-infect the world.
Mid-winter again if things aren't going smoothly.

I go very far out of my way to avoid exposure to disease. So for that reason I'm rarely getting any new diseases. Still part of the never had COVID club.

I wish.

I'm actually miserably sick right now. :(

I got sick once every 3 years until I had kids. Now I get sick once a year, although I recover really well to the point where I almost never have to miss work because of it.

My sympathy.

I get like one cold a year, if that. Haven't had one yet this year. If everyone around me gets sick I'll be the only one who doesn't catch it. It's weird because I'm on an immunosuppressant for an autoimmune condition, so you'd think I'd be catching everything.

I rarely got sick. Then I became a parent and that first year was the sickest Ive ever been in my life.

I work service industry and have a deformity in my sinuses that makes it not drain as well so I get sinus infections/colds at least twice a year.

Never had covid, rarely get flu or stomach bugs and the like though

I get sick 2 to 3 times a year, usually when the weather changes.
I have a kid in school and both my wife and I work with lots of people in hands-on jobs. It's just inevitable.

I rarely get sick and I feel extremely fortunate for that.

It's probably the only perk of being a social outcast.
