Do you get sick much more than average?

I'm not sure, but I rarely get colds and flus. I tend to get stomach viruses and infections. Just this year I got strep throat and just recently a stomach virus. As a little girl, I would always catch anything that caused diarrhea and vomiting.

I did in elementary school. I have a more sensitive immune system from some prematurity.

I'd say I get sick less than average. Knocks on wood...

I think I have a dust allergy that makes me sneeze when I vacuum or move furniture but apart from that I've known my girlfriend for just over 3 years now and she said she's never seen me sick. It was probably 9 months before I met her, ~mid 2010, I remember having a kind of head cold from working somewhere with a walk in fridge room and industrial freezer. Then before that... I can't really remember. So no, I don't really get sick that often.

I get sick somewhat less than average. But I'm cheating a bit--I do get flu shots every year, and I haven't had the flu since.

If you count menstrual cramps that put me in bed, I get sick once a month for about half a day, like clockwork. It's a pretty miserable half-a-day and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but at least it's not multiple days, like some women get.
