Oh come on! It's not even fall and I'm sick?

[imabrat]

ARGH. I'm the kid who catches anything and everything under the sun. I've had multiple ear infections a year since I was little, surgery to correct it, and allergies up the wazoo. So bad to the point I've ruptured my ear drum and have hearing loss from frequent infections. (On top of the loss caused by the chemo.)
I get a flu shot every year, and with that I still manage about 12 doctors visits Sept-March.

But for cryin out loud, the leaves have only started to change in the past 3 days and I'm sick!
I just woke up, it's almost 2 am and I can't sleep from the pain. Thought something was up the past couple days when I got a very runney nose when I walked.
Now I have the sore throat, painful ears, runney nose that's stuffy when I lay down.

Wanna know what stinks? I pretty much can diagnose myself with disease and treatment. My guess? Post nasal drip, like always.

Are you someone who gets sick frequently?

 

[K-Shong99]

i seem to be sick a lot too.
i have a slight case of pink eye right now.


i feel for you.
i'm sorry.

 

[seaturtledude]

i usually get sick right before school, which is what i'm dreading. i have 2 more days to survive..i'm afraid. i've been using purell nonstop lol.

 

[Mandy91]

I'm sick right now, with a cold. I had a headache earlier from my fever, so I had an ice pack on my head until the medicine kicked in. Now I just have an annoying cough and runny nose.
Seems like when I was at Disney last week, everyone had a cold. So I'm guessing that's where I got it from.

Feel better soon!

 

[RaggedyAnnPrincess]

Sorry!
My parents are getting sick too, I don't want to catch any bugs. Not with school starting in a few days.
I can't believe summer is ending so quickly.
Well, feel better

 

[diva122094]

I don't get sick that much, like i might get sick once or twice a year.But when i get sick it is sooo strong.By that i mean like i sneeze a lot or cough.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I know exactly what you mean.

Every school year, theres 1 thing that makes me miss like a month of school plus multiple little things.


Ear infections was a biggie when I was little, but at least it was never an INNER ear infection

UTI's were the biggest. Oh.My.Lord. I had UTI's so often the doctors knew my entire medical record by heart. I even had to go to school with my own roll of toilet paper and wipes. So many different medications..this one..was thick "banana' flavor..YUCK oh.my.bleck. i practically vomited every time i took that stuff (and trust me..i am the GREATEST medicine taker you will ever meet "oh..if it will make me feel better..Down the hole ye go!', like..this stuff got thick..and chunky..and...it dried up in clumps..and..it was like..honey mustard yellow..and.. eeeewwwwwwww that was the nastiest.


Yeast infections.
Ive also had a ton of those.
Not fun.
To be inspected down there by a really hot male doctor.
AH man i hated it, i was in 5th grade watching "men in black" on the floor..and...all of the sudden i had a little itch so i just slightly scratched on the outside of my jeans then it became SO WORSE oh my goodness, NO CREAM would work. Btw, never use those internal yeast infection pills. They're REALLY scary and painful. Especially when you try and use the bathroom in the morning and then you hear *clunk splash!* in the toilet when youre at your morning potty break. I suggest using the little cream inserts, they're really soft and cushion instead of this big..pill



Common cold.
Get it every year, except im beginning to think it aint so common because for others it keeps them out for about 4 days, for me it hit me so hard that i had to miss my BIGGEST trip of the year AND miss over 3 weeks of school straight.
In fact people were making me get well cards, and called me on my big trip. Like wile they were there, after they preformed they called me and said they did really well. Which of course made me happy.


I am the cleanest one.
I wash my hands more often then the average person, for a good 30 seconds at least. I take my daily vitamins, i take cold medicine when i need it. When I cant wash my hands with soap, i use purell, if someone sneezes i hold my breath for a wile until i breath in again...you name it.

Yet.
Im always the one to catch it.

I get EVERYTHING.

People think im weird because i miss a lot of school.
Honestly id trade them ANYDAY to NOT miss that much school, because then come time for state tests and im screaming bloody murderer.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Sonya, im sorry :/

Has school started yet for you? Or does it start tuseday.



Get better though. Either way, im sure you wanna see your friends at school.

 

[JulielovesDisney]

I ALWAYS get post-nasal drip. It's so annoying. And usually it turns into a sinus infection. Not fun!
Get well soooooon Sonya!!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Hope you feel better!

No.
I don't get sick hardly at all.
I only missed one day of school last yera and I felt bad in the morning but as soon as I started getting up and stuff I felt fine.
I haven't been to the doctor for myself in probably 2 years.
But when I do get sick it only lasts for about 2 days and it's usually a cold or something.

 

[Ppufi]

Ugh, I always get post-nasal drip and sinus problems starting from now up until the spring. And, a couple of years ago during the winter I had pnumonia three times. Yes, count em, three. And once I think it was a double infection.

Yeah, I catch everything too. :rollseyes:

 

[AmandaSparks730]

I'm usually sick with something or another!

Bronchitis, cold, flu, fever, finger infections, TONS of ear infections (at least 2-3 a season) you name it. October is my worst month. Allergies strike!

 

[Babyjustrun]

I don't get sick frequently. Usually when I'm sick there's no fever so I'm good to keep on going on as usual.

I've had that before last year I was sick around my birthday and there was one day where I had the biggest pain in my ears. And my ears haven't bugged me in ears. I was crying it was so bad.

 

[ThePurpleMorphy]

meh gots a cold too

When I was in kindergarden I was sick almost all of the time. After about three doctors, I was diagnosed with asthma. They also found out that my adnoids (still not sure what those are ) were the size of an adults ! That was blocking my airways and triggering my asthma.

I had to get them taken out. I missed almost three weeks of school though . And everyone I knew brought me popcicles for my throat .

I learned last year that adnoids grow back ! But luckily they are the correct size for my age now .

So I can totally relate to being sick all the time.

 

[imabrat]

Thanks guys. Your ears haven't bugged you in ear, eh Hilary?

Yeah, well I woke up this morning, ugh! Woke up at 630, soo not me. I couldn't stop sneezing, my eyes are all itchy, my throat is worse than it was the night before. I took some sudafed and it's started to clear up.

I think I'm going to miss my first day of school tomorrow. :/

ETA - I had my adenoids taken out too. I thought it was supposed to help stop the infections, not keep em going! And my tastebuds are all whacked up. Milk tastes gross and I'm living on water. That's not normal, I hate water and love milk. I'm having chocolate ice cream for breakfast, combine wisdom teeth growing in and then sinus pressure on my teeth, I don't wanna eat anything too hard.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Aww Sonya

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

I get sick once during fall/winter, and once during the spring, and it's normally the common cold. The last time I was truly sick was last Halloween, and I scared myself into thinking I was going to throw up. That's the biggest problem I have when my stomach hurts.

 

[pigletgirl]

Ya, I was sick with a cold/flu thing this past week. I'm still recovering almost a week later.

 

[Em&Em]

Awwwwww Sonya I am so sorry you feel sick. I usually don't start getting sick till around Halloween time and then I seem to get just about anything, Flu, Bronchitis, Pneumonia. The bad thing is I cannot get the flu shot, because I am allergic to 1 of the ingredients that use in the shot.

 

[inlalaland]

Ugh I'm sick all the time.
Cold, sinus infection, UTI, low blood sugar, migraine, it's always something!
