    Default How long its been since you were last sick

    A lot of people say, that us Emet's seem to have an extra resilience to catching bugs and being sick etc so i was curious to see how longs its been for you all, and if its actually true.

    I had a bad reaction to a medication this past Spring. I've been ill about once a year for the past 3 years. Before that, it was 6 years with no illness.

    Stace,

    Your question is ambiguous about what you mean by "sick." If you mean vomited, the last time for me was 35 years ago. If you mean nauseated, the last time for me was 11 years ago. If you mean "caught a bug," then I'm not even sure.

    ooh yeah! i got sick from an influenza vaccine too before! it sucked because it was right after my 11th birthday. i should have been playing with my new toys or whatever i got but instead i spent it v*ing!
    its just because it was one of the nasal ones tho. with nasal vaccines they give you a live virus but with shots they give you either a dead one or a fake one, i can't remember.
    what i meant by "thats what mine did" in one of my last posts was that my anxiety medication made me v*.

    17 years, 4 months and 4 days since I last v*.

    I last had proper n* in February this year from a prawn intolerance.

    To be honest I was shocked I made it past 10 years, so an extra 7 is a bonus I guess.

    Yeah it wasn't the vaccine that made me sick, I had the actual illness. The medication they give to shorten the illness made me sick.

    I haven't *v since 1988..but since I work in a very busy clinic I am constantly exposed to viruses and usually have some type of cold/flu bug twice a year or more! However, I haven't been sick since I quit smoking in Oct. *knock on wood*
