Flu shots?

Wow, you would get flu 3 times in one season? That must suck. Is your immune system suppressed or comprimised for some reason?

Actually I seem to get it when I'm really stressed out, stress for me really seems to kill my immune system. I can pretty much tell when I'm feeling stressed out enough that I'll get sick from something or other on the next week. The reason it's the flu is probably due to the number of people I see at work, college or on the train ride. There is always somebody sick with something around me.

Overall I know my immune system is alright but it's not some titanium shield. I used to have a lot of problems back in Russia with the flu, ear infections, stomach infections etc. The list goes on. The suggested treatment of the doctors was to stuff me full of antibiotics which really messed with my digestive system screwing me up further...

I don't see flu 3 times a season as terrible, I generaly recover in 3 days and only feel horrible 1 day. Plus I've never suffered from anything but the flu since I left Russia.
