Social How often do you catch a bad cold ?

[STRYDG]

Bad? Twice in my life that required going doctors and getting antibiotics etc. Dont even get a light cold yearly.

I’m having a terrible cold as we speaking, my body is shaking. I’ve ran through a box of Kleenex this morning and my throat is sore. As for you fellow sherdoggers, so you often catch a bad cold ?

Usually once a year. More when I was bouncing because I was drinking a lot, touching IDs, partying hard etc.

You went to the doctor for a cold? If it were that bad it was flu. As in proper knock your socks off flu.

Very rarely, last one was my bout of COVID in 2021, that was a mild cold, I'd been smoking the previous two weeks so thought the cough was from that.

I got a bad one when I was in Taiwan on a work trip about 10 years ago, no idea what it was but it was brutal. Though they have some great cold and flu drugs over there, the one I got felt like it was speed, got me through the trip no worries.

I haven't been sick for the last 7 years or so. I remember when covid happened I was already a couple of years without getting sick and I thought great now the next time I'm gonna get sick is gonna be from this but I never got covid and nothing ever since it ended. So at least 7 years possibly 8.

On average I would say once every 4 years.

 

[Streeter]

Maybe 1 a year but when I do it's not the cold that gets me that's over in 2-3 days it's the 2 weeks of bronchitis after that sucks

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Once or twice every few years.

 

[Batjester]

I have not been sick since taking the jabs over two years a go but now I'm more artistic

Don't you mean autistic?

Cowboy shit.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Never really get sick. Had Covid about three years ago but I can't remember the last time I had a cold. Probably somewhere between 2010-2015. I definitely had the flu around 2008. I remember taking a day or two off work and watching Pride Decade lol.

 

[fingercuffs]

Thinking about it, since I stopped working I've really not had any viral problems, husband brought Covid and some tummy upset thing which was like food poisoning back from the gym but that's been it in years.

 

[CrimsonFan]

I actually have a cold right now. I'd say once a year on average. It's not too bad but it's cost me a couple days of missed work.

 

[Osculater]

Don't you mean autistic?

[TeTe]

[GSP_37]

Since the start of COVID and taking the COVID vaccine and flu shot for first time in many many years, haven't really gotten sick aside from windy pollen allergy watery eyes runny nose for day or so. Bought a few packs of Halls cough drops during early COVID and haven't had to eat them.

 

[Kiniun]

Only after doing hard drugs.

Based on replies i am the biggest pussy on sherdog

I’ve had 3 this winter including one right now. Generally, I’ll go years without one so I’m kind of alarmed tbh. I started taking multivitamins and my doctor suggests I sleep more.

I am kind of burning myself out working 60+ hours, playing senior hockey, drinking on weekends and cramming snowmobiling in too though. I’m going to stay sober and try to work a little less and see how that goes.

 

[Ladder Master]

I had 3 upper respiratory infections in the span of 5 months last year.

Stress and lack of proper sleep definitely contributed.

 

[NoSmilez]

I get minor colds if I overtrain and don't sleep properly.
