Has anyone else been sick more than normal this winter?

I 100% believe that climate impacts the body/health. I have severely dry skin and i need to use products or my skin will crack here. 1 week + in the Caribbean and dryness is gone, never to be seen.

Seasonal affective disorder. Really common in the colder climes. Mine also goes away when I'm in a warmer clime.

I have the same problem and agree 100%. Dry air in Canadian winters that can't be avoided. On six different occasions over the years we've spent February in Costa Rica and the problem doesn't exist.

I deal with gerd and take medication that helps somewhat. Here in Costa Rica, I'm thinking that the awful coughing might not be gerd. It's gone. No coughing, no burning. Climate?

I almost die everyday here of coughing fits in the winter. When I am in Mexico at Christmas nothing. Although this winter was better than last one was. Been to multiple doctors specialists etc apparently there is nothing wrong.

I think we have probably one of the worse climates. Out bodies cant adjust to anything properly.
When out bodies start to adjust to cold, its starts to get warm.
When the body starts to adjust to warm, it starts getting cold again.

Salt water and sunshine is what human bodies crave, especially as we get older. Hence why places like Florida are crazy popular retirement destinations.

Me too. Haven’t needed a single sick day in the last decade. Never got Covid

I did get Norwalk last year and that was a rough - but it only lasted a day.

I’m too busy to get sick.

Same. One sick day in the last 38 years. Hopefully the luck doesn't run out.

Got something that had me coughing up yellow mucus for over a month. At one point it was every thirty seconds and I had to try to sleep downstairs in a chair to A) Not infect my wife, B) Be able to breathe without coughing up a lung. Getting over it now, and it’s down to every 15-30 minutes.

Going in for a biopsy tomorrow, so I hope it doesn’t come back.

Just got my second shingles shot. A couple of weeks and I’ll be vaccinated as though I was in the armed forces. One more rabies and a couple of other things to go.

I collect vaccines.

I do a flu shot each fall.

Had shingles in my 20s, horrible. With likelihood of getting it again I got Vaxed.

Got COVID vaxed and several boosters - it ran thru my house twice but never got me.

Recently added pneumococcal to my collection.

So far it’s worked for me.

Sounds like my dad.

36 years and never took a sick day. He cashed out hella early.

Dead opposite here. Everyone in the house had their first two shots. Two weeks after the first one, I got the Coov, then again every couple of months for most of the following year. Just a few days for most of them. In all, I've had Covid 5 times and the first four times were with the recommended vaccinations. This has cost me a reliable sense of smell and most of my hair - two of the three known Covid complications I have - the third of which was 12 months of no sense of smell followed by strong all-day woodfire and cigar smoke smells that lasted about six months.

Not happy about it but at least the actual episodes were like having a mild cold. The fourth time around was the worst because it lasted two weeks. This "100 day cough" I've had since early February is still with me, and has been a lot worse.
