SICK AGAIN

[Maverick]

I am sick again, I swear if someone even talks about geting sick, I get sick. I take multi vitamins and wash my hands before i eat and am just catching everything this winter. 3 times in two months and one of the times was 8 days of hell. Anyone else getting sick this year more than once? I hate being sick, puts me in a foul mood. I didn't get the flu shot, never do because it made me sick once, real sick and that was the last time i got it. maybe i should go and get one, i dunno.

[BigFameOne]

well thanks for the update.


sorry you are feeling under the wather man.

I think it has been a rough year for illness all over. I know many co-workers are burning through sick pay fast and I had a 5-6 day stint and it was brutal. I tried to man up :naka: and take my medicine but I couldn't get rid of the fever I tried everything, airborne, zicam, multi-vitamins etc. No matter what I tried I was like . It sucked man, I hope you get back on track, cause ain't no fun.

[Dusty2]

Sad, Sorry to hear that. Take care and get well. Much better to be under the water than under the weather.

[ArcticDiver]

Sorry to hear about your illness. Makes me feel even more grateful. I had a year like that awhile back.

But this winter just frostbite in January on the soles of both feet. But other than that and a few owies I've been very fortunate this winter. May some of that visit you, eh?

[Kalatin]

I am the healthy sort for the most part. Until this year. Three colds since mid-December, including one bout with the death cold that laid me up for several days. I am on the tail end of illness number 3. I think I may begin bathing in hand sanitizer, as the liberal application is just not working this year. I hate being sic - I revert to my five-year-old self. I am off to eat a popsicle and take a nap.

[Ken G]

Beej I know how you feel. I have been home sick with the flu since Tuesday. I am over the hump but still not feeling myself or up for diving yet. At one point I was up to 102 degrees and whimpering on the couch. It sucks to say the least.

(and I did get a flu shot)

Feel better buddy

[Joshua Smith]

Dude, you're just getting sick because you're weak. You need to man up and get tough. Do a lotta pushups. Run a lot wearing Heavy Boots, and soak your head in ice water before you run- keep your knees as straight as possible when you run, too. Breathe short and shallow. Lift the heaviest stuff you can find, and be sure and keep your knees locked when you do it, otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Nah, I'm kidding- I've been sick a lot this winter, and it sucks. I usually only get sick maybe once a winter, but this year....

[Diver_C]

I so know what you feel. Been sick since January 3rd with one thing or the other. As soon as I am getting done with one thing, something else comes along. Towards the end of a cold now. Hoping this is the end for a long time... Good luck Mav!

Trust me when I say this has been the best laugh I've had in a couple of days!!!

Sorry you're sick. I hated colds before I learned to dive, but now I view them as devil's spawn.

Regarding the flu shot, though -- It's only good to protect you from true influenza. The vast majority of respiratory illnesses we suffer in winter (or in summer, for that matter) are not influenza. Influenza is marked by high fever, cough, minimal to no head congestion or sore throat, and prominent bone and muscle aches. It's most often seen in epidemics, where a lot of people are sick with the same symptoms, although it can occur sporadically. Getting a flu shot won't help you against winter colds.

A lot of people have studied a variety of approaches to bolstering the immune system against viral illnesses, and nothing has come out to be compelling. Some people swear by zinc, others by echinacea, but the good, objective studies just aren't there.

[Maverick]

I had full blown Influenza 6 weeks ago, was sick for 8 days wth fever, chills, muscle spasms, full body aches, and head throbing like no other, plus an upset stomach, and sore throat, a raging sore throat. now i just have a cold, a head cold, and slightly tired.

I don't care who you are ! That there is just plain Funny

BJ,Hope you get better soon!
Mouse is working for a kids party place type job and is always bringing some sort of kid germ home with her.
I try to keep plenty of Airborn, Echinatia(sp) Root or Zicam in the house. As soon as I witness any sign of sickness in my house, I start loading up on whatever I can get my hands on. No flu shot for me.
I have been sick for only a couple of days this year. Lucky me (Knocking on wood right now).
Now if I could find a miricle "Replace the disc in my back" pill! ](*,)
Good thing, diving helps my back pain


Let me know when your ready for that "100 ft Rock dive, on a Thursday"

Have you been doing the Coca-Cola enemas and eating nothing but cans of Stag Chile and Oreo cookies like I told you to, BJ? It's holistic, you know- you gotta do the whole program, or you're just gonna keep getting sick.......
