I have never broken a bone in my body before and I rarely get sick. If I get sick twice in a year (other than a minor sniffle) its a bad year

Well - in the last three months I have fractured my foot, gotten an ear infection so bad the left side of my face was notable swollen and now I definately have a cold

The only thing I can think of is my body is mocking the fact that I have 0 accumulated vacation/sick days at my new job

What the hell body? What the hell?

Factors to consider- diet, exercise, stress levels, age, family history, for starters.

Thats the funny thing. If anything I am in much better shape than the last 5 years or so. I dropped 35lbs, eat significantly healthier, run several times a week and have much less stress at my new job

Running could potentially account for most of it. The foot and immune issues anyways. Vigorous exercise can lower our immune systems. And the fracture could be a repetitive impact injury.

Sometimes when we change out diet, our body rebels against us till it gets used to it.

Depends on how long you live, imo.

I'm 47. Sprained ankle in March and 10 days of "the back attack" in August. No other issues this year. Heh, I must not be middle aged yet.

Sounds like multiple myeloma. Could you load your pron collection to the cloud so it isn't lost to prosterity?

Interesting about the immune system issue. I have been running for a while but have recently picked up the pace to try and gain some ground back after the fracture

Heh - its been over a year since the change but perhaps I can leverage this with the chef (wife) for some better meals

Not overall effects of exercise, intense exercise specifically. light to moderate can strengthen the immune system, intense exercise can suppress it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=intense+exercise+can+lower+immune+system

Didn't need you to google it. Didn't want the Exterous to miss the "vigorous" part of your statement. Others might take that as "exercise bad, couch good."

For once, what I remembered was correct. That's is a sign of old age.:\

http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/injuryprevention/a/Ex_Immunity.htm

There are some things that seem to protect us from catching colds and the flu. One of those things appears to be moderate, consistent exercise. Research continues to support a link between moderate, regular exercise and a healthy immune system. Early studies found that recreational exercisers reported fewer colds once they began running regularly. Moderate exercise has been linked to a positive immune system response and a temporary boost in the production of macrophages, the cells that attack bacteria. It is believed that regular, consistent exercise can lead to substantial benefits in immune system health over the long-term.

However, there is also evidence that too much intense exercise can reduce immunity. This research is showing that more than 90 minutes of high-intensity endurance exercise can make athletes susceptible to illness for up to 72 hours after the exercise session. This is important information for those who compete in longer events such as marathons or triathlons. Intense exercise seems to cause a temporary decrease in immune system function. Research has found that during intense physical exertion, the body produces certain hormones that temporarily lower immunity.
