This winter been rough on anyone else here? I've been sick about 5 times this winter, and have had enough. Very frustrating.

I'm with ya there...spent a week home with walking pneumonia, then took about two more weeks to get my energy levels back to normal. I'm ready for warmth and fresh air again...
The evening of December 26th, I woke up from sleep with my nose running to where I could saturate 20 tissues, and it still didn't seem like I made a dent. Since then, my nose/sinuses haven't been quite right. Never a cold, just not at optimum working order.
I had a cold for about a week, but first time in about five years. Sinuses have been getting me though
I think the problem is how dry it's been this winter. Way more head colds and sinus issues than I've ever had before.
People with young kids should be forced to wear respirator masks in public. It seems like they are the source of most widespread contagion.
Thanks for evening out the average for me Craig, I've been pretty good all winter (pause as I go punch some exposed wood for a half hour)
And I've got a 4 year old and a 13 month old.
had something nasty a couple weeks ago, must have caught it from a coworker - she was out for three days with it. I feel lucky that I was only out for a day and feeling awful for most of a 2nd but still able to work!
Airbag's got a point......we run a humidifier in our apartment. Dry sinuses get irritated and allow germs in more easily.

I think increased colds & other viruses are not so much a product of the cold weather, but the continuously recycled air we breathe in our homes, classrooms & offices. Although I have hayfever issues and pollen is my nemesis, I love being able to throw my windows open in the spring and inhale FRESH air. 
Kids are like pigeons that way - carrying illness from place to place. If snowcraig's kids were pigeons, they could at least fly home when he forgot them.
It's been brutal. I had a bout with bronchitis that lasted six weeks (coincided with holiday season...merry effin' Christmas) and took four different antibiotics to knock it out. Followed it up with a sinus infection a couple weeks ago. Like a lot of other posters in here, even when I've felt pretty much ok my sinuses have still not been in great working order this winter. To paraphrase McCabe, this winter can suck a fat one.
Darn right it sucks...sucks every ounce of energy out of your body. I slept for about four days before I finally went to the doc. Even slept through large parts of the ISU KSU game on tv...when my husband came home from the game, that's when he KNEW I was sick.

Everybody gets sick, its Winter.

He's never going to live that down. Maybe he'd be sick less often if he forgot his kids more often.
