I HATE the cold. It messed up my stomach somehow. Don't know what it's called though, but I had to have this chinese medicine and it's so goddamned nasty. Well, at least it works. And the gay part is, I didn't even know what it was til like.... a MONTH AGO.... and I've been suffering from this since like the end of September. Gosh, I hate winter. It was especially cold this year. I wish it would be over... like now.

[glow=navy,2,300]Sorry to hear about that Jaggy. I never get sick in the winter. Actually I never get that sick period. And it is funny that I have the unhealthiest eating habits in my house, yet my immune system is by far the best. Anyways, around here, the flu season is really bad. You can't even visit relatives at the hosipital becuase of the fear of spreading the flu around in there.[/glow]

well so far i've been perfectly healthy, but now with temperatures plummeting and the next ice age approaching, i doubt that it will last too long. but if i do get sick it is usually with the cold or minor case of flu, which can be cured by taking this chinese medicine. it's like these pills that contain all these weird herbs and stuff (including silkworm feces *hurk*) but works like a charm.
and jaggy, that medicine you're taking, is it the one where you have to boil up a whole bunch of roots and stuff in water, then drink the water which is incredibly bitter and disgusting?

Hahahahaha. Yes, it's exactly that. I swear, the ingredients look like something found in my backyard and garden. And because it's so bitter, they give you these "haw flakes" thingies to take with the medicine. It still tastes nasty though... Normal medicine is like a dessert compared to it. I don't even know how these weird chinese things can cure illnesses, but they work.

[glow=navy,2,300]Huh, it sounds pretty nasty. But a cheap, make it youself medicine that works is a lot better than an expensive store boughten medicine that doesn't do anything for you.
Somebody ought to make that stuff and sell it in stores (unless it has to be taken fresh or something).[/glow]

Actually, it does work better than normal medicine.. I barely notice a difference when I take those. >_> Oh and they do sell them in stores. There're these chinese herb/medicine stores that sell these ingredients and a bunch of other weird things. Like dehydrated seahorses of various sizes, those bird's nest things that are freakin expensive and about 10525370 types of ginseng roots. Some of that stuff is really expensive. They had this ginseng root thing in a shelf behind a glass door and it was something like $4500. Of course, it's probably mainly for display unless someone's crazy enough to buy it.

[glow=navy,2,300]Within the last year, I've only really been sick once, and it was only an overnight thing. I have had alcohol sickness once and the shits a few times, but those aren't really flus or anything like that. I have an Immune system of steel! ;D[/glow]

I got food poisoning twice within two years...the last time, I fought it off however. I guess I've been sick with it so many times that I finally have an immunity against it. Know what's even worse than getting sick in the winter? Getting sick during vacation/Spring Break! A couple of years ago, we went to San Diego and I got food poisoning the second day I was there. I was sick the whole trip, and even on the plane home. The sad part: I was better within two days of returning home....stupid salmonella...I'LL KILL YOU!

I remember I got food poisoning while I was in Hong Kong... > It was salmonella too and I was sick for a long time. Even after we came back. Last, last year, I remember I had the flu in HK (I always get sick there. There're like 10000x more germs there than here) and last year I had the flu like right before Spring break... or was that after? I forgot. And I had to miss 1 1/2 days of school.

The temp here is like -22C. wow, that is pretty cold, but don't you mean -22F? -22C is equivalent to approximately -71.6F, which pretty much means everything freezes up and the next ice age is arriving. i don't think it's going to get that cold around here, but the temperature has been sitting around 32F all day long, which is bad. bottom line, i hate cold weather.
