Fresh off of getting the flu in the jungle I am again seriously under the weather. Coughing like a mad man and going through tissue like a tissue molester. Can't even sleep either as I just can't breathe.
So, the fascinating question of the day. How many times have you been sick this year?
I think I've had the flu twice and a common cold twice now. It's looking likely I will get one more before the year is out. It's a heavier year than usual.
How about you?
I've had a few mini colds. I think it's mostly the environment I'm working in - all ac no fresh air.
I've had a couple of times where I've gone through 5 boxes of tissues in 24 hours ;D not pretty.
Had 2 days off sick. If we didnt have these return to work interviews it probably would have been more. It really is stupid though. They'd be better of sending the sick home so they dont infect everyone else.
Yeah, not cool. Two rolls of toilet tissue today and at least 50 sneezes. Pretty intense. And then on going to bed I realised that oxygen wasn't reaching my brain. Just stayed up and watched football instead.
These sicknesses suck as they are so pointless. It's a shame our feeble bodies haven't worked out a way to deal with this. We can solve cancer and yet flu etc, are just beyond us and always so.
0.....I give credit to my not getting any flu or H1N1 shots and my strict and steady consumption of good alcohol ;D
I have had an amazing year health wise. Since starting my training program in January I have not been ill for a single day this year!!!
Furthermore I had my annual health review blood tests last week and they were my best ever blood results.
Cholestral levels were apparently superb. All my counts were absolutely fine and normal, and my testosterone count, which last year was so low they offered my replacement therapy has boosted by about 50%.
Most amazingly of all my thyroid function has even improved and they have told me to reduce my daily thyroxin dose from 175 to 150mg.
And just 10 miuntes ago I set a new fastest ever rowing time smashing over a second off my previous best 2:30 split, a personal best that itself was only two days old.
So I'm feeling great right now AND I have a girl coming over to fuck me tonight too ;)
Life is sweet right now.
Is that just bragging to annoy a sick man?
I would love to have a full health check, but I would worry about how far gone I am.
What do you do? Just ask for some kind of full check?
Anyway, I have breath in half a nostril, I should probably try and take advantage of this and sleep. No leaving hints tonight, I'm afraid.
I haven't been sick in two years. Bit odd. Usually have one cold a year and had two 3 years ago.
ps. a special thanks to the taxpayers.Quote:

Miles if it gets worse go get seen to anyway mate.
I'm okay but barely got any sleep last night and am still full of sneezes, coughs, dizziness and all that associated stuff. I should really get myself a proper supply of medicine for times like this and they seem to be frequent. It's my own fault as I don't look after myself, but it would be nice to be a little more healthy. I might just have some chicken wings and go for a drive. That's always cheers me up, but surprisingly enough does little for a depleted immune system.
Havent been sick at all this year, was only sick once last yr and once the yr before that. I eat pretty cleanly and exercise 5 days a week so i think that helps as well as having a flu shot every yr.
In 15 years of work been sick 7 days, 6 of those days working with children where you can pick up bugs. Been at my current job 5 years and had no day off work due to sickness. Staff get a letter from our chief every year congratulating us.
Its amazing you can go so long without being sick and you start feeling invincible and then once you get a minor something you're completely knocked out of commission.
I once got this norovirus type thing....my God it was horrible. I was throwing up every hour on the hour and then dry heaving so hard I pulled a muscle in my back...lost 15 pounds from that, good times
I had the same virus earlier this year. First time of being sick for ages.
Puked my guts up for about 3 days. Anything and everything that went in came out. Was afraid to cough or squeeze a danger fart!
...Its horrible when you can't fart with confidence.
But I thought it was safe!Quote:

no. I want a hug.
I want someone to stroke my head/hair and rock me as I slowly vomit froth down my t-shirt. I may even cry a little.:eek:
Had five days off earlier in the year. Wasnt that sick but we've got a three strikes rule. 1 bout of sickness = 1 strike, doesnt matter if its a day or a week.
If Im taking a strike, Im taking the full week.
Missy man up for fucks sake, you're sounding like a god damn girl!
I've only been sick 3 times in the last ten years. Even when I was a teen I can go around 2 or more years without being sick. The only times I remembered of being ill was when someone sneezed or cough on me. So last time I was sick was 2006 and before that 2002 and got sick once in 2000. I guess one of the factors could be that I work out 4 times a week and eat a lot of vegetables and fruits with minimal intake of red meat and I'm pretty sure my immune system is quite strong.
Maybe some of you guys need to check yourselves out and see a doctor, continually getting sick means a compromised immune system and probably other underlying issues.
It's been quite a few years since I've been sick at all. It's been about 8 years since I was so sick I had to stay in bed.
I smoke, eat like crap and don't exercise enough.
Yup....I just finished a cigar and a beer and now I'm working on a glass of Elijah Craig 18 year Single Barrel ;DQuote:

And like scotch, bourbon only ages in the barrel and not in the bottle like wines do.
Ha funny as fook scene, 'Exam Poo'Quote:

A lad I work with once stood up from his seat, and let out a fart, the look on his face was priceless when he realised he had followed through ;D Stupid bugger then told everyone around him he had just shit himself :o
