I am tired of being sick

[nateup2]

I haven't been sick of any variety (besides if I forget to take my opiate pain meds) for about 3 years. No cold, no flu, nothing.

I'm sure you've heard it all before, but I honestly feel that eating/living healthy has really been my armor. I eat tons of whole grains and take at least a multivitamin daily... as well as being pretty active physically. (basketball mostly)

Before living reasonably, I got a cold a few times a year. Back then what worked best for me was drinking tons of water and loading up with ridic amounts of vitamin C. If I did this I could kill it about 2 days in, every time, without failure. May have just been placebo, but even if... always worked.

If you can pick up a box of "cold ease" I believe it is, those work wonders too. All they really are is Zinc and some other vitamins, but they work to shorten a cold for everyone I know.

One day I just got tired of being sick, so I stopped. Seriously. I get allergies now and then but I haven't been seriously sick or throwing up in over 3 years.

I think that was a big part of my seemingly perm-a-cure too. It was like I jsut said "nah, I cant afford to get sick anymore" and I don't.

I will have frequent runny noses through the entire year, but aside from the leakage/minor blockage I haven't had any other "sick" symptoms in almost a decade. Generally it's only a problem when I sleep, since my nose clogs up and I start breathing out my mouth, leaving me with really bad dry mouth in the morning. And some really nice boogers I remove in the shower.

We share everything here, don't we?

Oh comon, don't tell me you don't take advantage of your morning shower to blow your nose.

I've currently got the first cold I've had this year. I honestly don't think I would have gotten sick at all, but these last few weeks I'd taken a serious beating, and then last week it all just came to a head, combined with a lack of sleep and some really difficult training. I should be fine by Monday.

Allergies have really been bad this year...
