if someone around me is sick, it's almost certain that i'm gonna get sick too, and when there's colds and flus going around, i'm one of the first to catch it. i also take a long time to heal from them.. what's wrong with me?

Tell me about it.
I've always got some sort of flu, cold or virus that keeps me limited. I'm really susceptible to any sort of mild illness that is contagious.

Immune systems aren't as strong when you're younger. I seem to always get sick too. I don't think I remember my dad ever getting sick. T_T But flu shot should help.

One factor is diet, you might not be getting the essential vitamins and minerals you need for your immune system to function at its best. Go to your doctor and they'll tell you what nutrients you should get to get your immune system working properly again.
The only time I get sick nowadays is through food poisoning. AHHH, SOUTH PARK KENNY'S EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA is coming back to haunt me!!!

There is a thing call "Airborne" formula at walgreens or at your local drug store. I use to get sick alot. Very bad immune system or too many sick people at the office.
At the first sign of a cold or before going into a crowded environment where you know you will catch someones cold, pop one of tablets in water, let it dissolve and drink up.
Has a lot of vitamins a,c,e, riboflavin,magnesium, selenium,manganese,potassim,herbal extracts, amino acids and alot of other good crap.
Personnal, I don't get as sick as I used too. Same environment, same people. They still get sick and I don't. Which sucks because I stilll have to go to work. So I guess it has it's good and bad points.

However, some studies has shown that "Airborne" is not good for you; it is simply a big overdose of vitamins. I wouldn't take it.
If you want to prevent colds, take ECHINACEA and GOLDENSEAL supplements...they're natural flowers/herbs...you can find it @ local pharmacies.

Its like what everyone posted here you have have a weak Immune system. To fix that is you have to take vitamins but first go to specialist that knows about the body immunities...your doctor will only do so little and just give you a prescription...I recommend you visit a local GNC shop and ask questions..those people are not just employees...they are trained specialist too...its where i go and asked a questions about my problems when i got sick so quickly. They told me to take Tiens : Immune System dietary supplements...so far it works. but do ask them questions for your symptoms...they can really help you on deciding what to get to make you better ^_^.
here is the site for Tiens so you can do some research on the product i am using ^_^

I think i only had a nose bleed once in my life. I'm rarely sick. At most once a year if anything.. and if i get sick it's gone in two to three days. But i caught a nasty cold two weeks ago which owned me for a week. I actually had to take medicine for it. Normally I never take any medicine for colds, coughs or fever. I just eat a lot and drink mad water and it goes away within 2 days. So this cold caught me by surprise.

drink milk, milk contains potassium, which is crucial to developing the immune system and fighting off disease
Before i started drinking milk i used to get sick pretty often too, however, after drinking milk daily for a couple of months i noticed that i was getting sick very much and i still have yet to be sick again
(over a year since i've been sick)
