A new health snapshot of Americans reveals that 80 percent report feeling ill in a typical month and nearly a third consider seeking medical care. Twenty-two percent end up visiting a doctor.

That's sad, I can't remember the last time I went to the doctor because I felt ill. Heck, I can't remember the last time I took OTC cold medicine.

EAT BETTER AND EXERCISE PEOPLE!

I've never eaten very well, nor excercised much, and I rarely feel sick or take any medicine.

I take the occasional asprin for headaches and some cold/allergy medicine when the occasion presents itself. I haven't been to the doctor in years.

?The estimated proportions of persons reporting symptoms, visiting a physician, receiving care in a hospital ... have changed little in 40 years,?

Doesn't look like this is any news at all. Must be a slow day for MSNBC.

<< I feel ill too



They cancelled V.I.P.

Now that VIP is canceled, what the hell am I supposed to watch in order to get the DRSDD (doctors recommended silicon daily dosage)?

I eat fairly well and run 2 miles every other day, yet I'll get sick whenever the temperature changes more than 10 degrees in less than 3 days, which is about once a month in New Orleans. I can't help it.

i do eat healthy and excerise A LOT. i play tennis everyday and work out everyday at the gym. but for little over a month i've been really sick. but it's something wierd. usually when i'm sick i have a runny/stuffy nose, really sore throat, and feel like crap. but i felt great, except for coughing so much. doctor said it was bronchitis. but after the 3rd time i visited him within 3 weeks, he had no clue what was wrong. had to take some xrays because the doctor said my lungs might be damage, but everything was ok. so he gave me some medicine last thursday, and it's helping. almost better.
