I have not been to the hospital for myself from being sick in over 10 years. Other then that I get runny nose and small cough once a year, sometimes twice if unlucky. Most times I got sick when I was young was a school wide thing, rather then a simple cold. I am not exactly super hygienic, nor do I eat healthy, or even exercise. Soon I am going to have to change my lifestyle though :(.

regarding getting immunization and its bad effects I had my MMR and various other shots as a baby, Then growing up we just hung around with loads of kids so if someone got chicken pox or so we all just got it as kids and had that out of our systems. I think I literally visited a doctors office / hospital 1 time between the age of 1-18 which was for a pretty bad case of "jumping off a wooden plank onto a nail" which I hadn't got the shot for.

At the age of 18 tho, bam Type 1 diabeties, basically my immune system saying it didn't like the way my pancreas looked and how it was creating insulin at a rate that it basically associated with a virus.... and boom, kills my own pancreas. There have been studies which link the trigger of Type 1a diabeties to the Rubella family of virus which of means the same trigger of getting Rubella itself would be activated by having the MMR shot since you then create the antibodies to destroy that virus.

But yeah I'm 100% pro vaccines, I think parents who do not get their children vaccinated are not being responsible and having a fairly bad impact on children who aren't there when non vaccination becomes more popular it lowers the effectiveness of having a vaccinated group of kids.

If you want to compare the pros/cons of vaccination you can put my having to inject myself in the gut 4 times a day as the con and then put http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_pox#Prevention having been eradicated and the 300-500million people who died to that up until it's eradication in the pro's area.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

  I always get sick during  winter... Specially if the temperatures go up and down drastically in a short  period of time ( Go from a max temp of 12C to a max temp of -1C.)

Hardly ever, especially since I got a job I can't be sick or Ill



I usually catch the cold or a nasty flu every winter, has happened since about 2002.Annoyingly it's turned into a nasty chest infection a couple of times, hopefully this year after getting flu vaccine I avoid anything.

I am a person who tends to have health issues all the time.

Last year was one of the worst periods for me. I was diagnosed with depression, Generalized anxiety disorder, Agooraphobia - which I am currently going under therapy and taking shitty drugs for (stupid Lovan). Furthermore, I had a bad case of Viral Meningitis which left me bed ridden for 3 days.

Occurring recently is that I would regularly lose my eyesight in the left eye, leaving me blind temporarily for minutes at a time (still do not know what the cause),

I have a lifetime battle with migraines and always catch a bad cold/flu during winter.

Unfortunately, I am one of those people who have a weak body susceptible to sickness. But I am thankful it isn't as serious like others.



Very often, partly due to my job as a doctor who meets a lot of people with the common flu.

I'm also constantly allergic and asthmatic since I keep several guinea pigs at my home (that I'm allergic against). Currently I have my computer in the guinea pig room. It's worth it though because they're so nice creatures to have around.



Also I think I have type 2 diabetes, elevated blood pressure, hyperthyroidism and I suspect I might be suffering from Asbpergers's disease.
