Poll, but old school because I am on the app.

[Doc_Lobster]

In the last 15 years, how many times have you had the following:
1) pneumonia
2) influenza
3) impetigo
4) abscess from staph infection/cellulitis

I kinda think something is wrong with me, because my answer for all of the above is > 10 times.

[CheshireGrin]

That seems like a lot to me. I get horrific bronchitis about twice a year, but I have never had any of the things you listed.

[Deleted]

Zero for all.

[Doc_Lobster]

I am very suspicious that I have a functional natural killer deficiency, because I have zero resistance to everything. I am seriously sick twice a month during cold and flu season.

I should probably go see an immunologist, right?

That would be my recommendation.

[demofea01]

Zero. I would see a specialist if you're getting those crummy diseases on a regular basis. That sucks.

[Doc_Lobster]

I get a flu shot every year! Does not help.

[Doc_Lobster]

And this is not even counting all the shit I got as a kid.

I am sickly.

[themysteriouswife]

I am sick all the damn time. I had h1n1 in 2009. I was in ICU a few days. The flu is at least 6 times. Pneumonia twice. I get bronchitis at least twice each winter.

yup

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I had pneumonia last year! And that's it. I had the flu in college, but that was more than ten years ago. Get your stuff checked out, rocky!

[underwaterrhymes]

I've had the flu twice and it sucked both times.

I think I have had walking pneumonia once, and I'm prone to bronchitis, but aside from that none of the others.

[cahabalily]

In the last 15 years, how many times have you had the following:

1) pneumonia probably at least 10. That's what I end up with almost every year, starts as bronchitis and elevates.

2) influenza once. It was swine flu and horrible. I couldn't even walk my dog. Only flu experience ever.

3) impetigo never

4) abscess from staph infection/cellulitis never.

I had the flu once... the rest never. Get thee to a dr

[poisonkisses]

I had the flu once, one of the people I take care of had H1N1 during that big outbreak deal so I caught it from him. I never get the flu, so I was not prepared for how much that was going to knock me on my ass. But other than that, I've never had anything else you listed.

[bleubook]

I might have had the flu once. That's it.

[janiejones]

I've had pneumonia once or twice, and the flu maybe once or twice in the last 15 years. None of the rest of it though.

You should consult with an immunologist, it blows that you are so prone to catching shit.

[karmasabiotch]

I catch everything. I also found out that I'm very prone to infections after surgeries.

I have a compromised immune system since I have Sclaraderma.

I don't want to GTG with you anymore.

[speckledfrog]

I've also had zero. Seeing a doctor about it sounds like a great idea, I hope they can help!

[psychmom]

None for all

[madringal]

None for all.

[meggers5]

From age 12-24 I had impetigo at least once a year. I had strep 3 times last year. I think I'm more infecty than a lot of people.

[sterl724]

I've had the flu once, maybe. I've had bronchitis a few times.

What you posted sound really serious. Have you told your doc how often you've had them?

[Deleted]

[adhdfashion]

Nope to all the things you listed. I've had a few broken bones and had a couple babies. But that's about it!

[gretchenindisguise]

I had pneumonia last year.

That's it.

I'd go to an immunology doc.

Never to all of the above.

I had chronic ear infections as a young child and had chicken pox but since then I have never had anything worse than a mild cold.

[angelaa73]

time for that bubble, travolta!


I had the flu about 15 years ago. Would never wish that on anyone
