Sorry for you Tim. Sickness seems to get worse as you get older too. You don't "bounce back" as quick. I have more trouble "toughing it out" too.

You over protect against germs and your immune system does not get the chance to build antibodies against the weakess virus/bug.

I think your absolutely right. I was reading something the other day saying that they did a study on kids to find out who was healthier. Know what they found out? Farm kids are the most healthy. You know, the ones who go out and get all scraped and bruised up. Shovel manure, hang out with animals and all kinds of germs, rodents, mold, dust, pollen, hair, dirt, disease, and everything that most people try to keep their kids from! They were the most healthy as in not sick as much, and much less susceptible to catching a virus. I have to say, I grew up that way and was seldom sick...... and when any of us did get sick, we were SICK. Like down and out, not just "crummy". Mainly because we went to work and school unless we threw up to prove we were sick. LOL.
Good luck! I like the OJ thing. With or without vodka, it's good for you!
