At long last, after 2 months of marginal health, I am cold-free.

I think that poll also needs the option
"I have some cold symptoms, but not all of them."

Me too.

I'm not answering it, for fear I do then get a cold.

i haven't had a full-blown cold in more than a year. i attribute this to my use of neti - salt-water irrigation of the nose, which i started doing for alleviation of allergy symptoms. whenever i start to feel possible cold symptoms coming on, i do the neti twice a day instead of my usual once or less, and it seems to have worked for me.

Have more sex - it's good for the white blood cells.
Or drink more.
Whichever, it's good.

I don't have a cold, but I've got lovely sinus ickiness. Does that count?

I am so glad that I rarely get colds. I can't think that I've had one for years. I haven't had the flu for over 10 years.

In fact, the only illnesses I have had in that time have been food poisioning a few times, and one episode of weird lower abdomen pain, possibly gyn, possibly gut, but ultimately gone almost 10 years ago.

I don't know if my mysterious 'spiky' stomach of last year counts, as it wasn't that bad and no-one could actually find anything wrong in the end and it doesn't happen any more. Probably stress.

I'm disgustingly healthy as a rule, for which I am very glad!

Hope all you folks with colds recover soon. The advice from a doctor pal of mine was "Take all the things you get in the chemists. I mean none of them actually work, but take them anyway, so you won't be wondering."
