Quite weak, due to a kidney tranplant I have to be on medication that weakens my immune system significantly. Having said that though I rarly acctuallly get sick despite having a weakened immune system.

I have a high chance of high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, and a weak neck due to my heredity. However, I was gifted with an unnaturally strong immune system. I remember that I once got a form of food poisoning from a cruise, a really bad form that usually lasts 2-3 months. I got better and went back to school in three days.

Quite weak. For various reasons, I have almost constantly got some form of cold, which varies in strength throughout the year.

Peculiar thing is, it's weak, and yet my doctor tells me that allergies are side effects of the immune system being too effective. And I have quite a few allergies.

The worst of both worlds I guess...

Sick? What is that? I don't get sick. The worst I've ever been is with a runny nose and the sniffles for a few days, my colds consist of me sneezing or coughing for about 2 hours then it's gone and no one is any the wiser, and even then when it happens it's a rare occurance, my immune system is amazing:)

I actually asked my ex(when she was il)just to sneeze and cough on me(disgusting I know)just to prove that I don't get ill or sick, I didn't:)

For example say there was a sick bug going around; nine out of ten times it will bypass me and I will be completely safe whilst my friends and family end up getting sick.
This right here. I get it from my dad who is sick even less often.

I heard that women have better immune systems than men, owing to the fact they have a greater amount of white blood cells (men have more red cells as their muscles tend to be denser and more oxygen-hungry). Can anyone with a medical or biological back ground confirm or dismiss this?
Men indeed do have more RBC's and a higher total blood volume, but from memory I don't believe there is any great difference between the sexes when it comes to the immune system. I haven't heard anything along those lines anyway, and if it was it'd probably be something to do with the differences in hormones between men and women. If anything women's are worse because they have a higher incidence of auto-immune diseases, for reasons we don't quite know yet.

Myself, I'm never sick which is handy firstly working around sick people and second because I donate plasma/platelets every two weeks and the blood bank doesn't tend to like you when you're sick.

I have a great immune system now, I'll occasionally get the sniffles but that's due to the cold weather, not a cold. Constant headaches have nothing to do with my immunes system.
I had some illnesses earlier in life but I had siblings, one of us got it then the rest would too, but because of this my immunity is now pretty amazing. Then there's the fact I ended up skinning my knees every week as a kid, introducing new bacteria with every new scrape, it all adds up, playing in the dirt, climbing trees aren't exactly germ free either. I'm glad for it though.
Suck's when everyone else is off school sick though.

I'd make an alliance of all Ebola viruses run away crying their asses off. Then'd I'd go eat some Swine Flu after I got out of bed for breakfast and then pack a few dozen cases of the Black Plague into garbage cans and finish off with stuffing the Measles into a mailbox full of dirt and leaves.

it's quite good. i'm not afraid of eating stuff that's been on the floor etc so that keeps my immune system going.

I very rarely get sick. The worst I've had in a year was the flu, during the week after Christmas.

I get sick once a year. Only exception to this is about a month ago I came down with a nasty case of H1N1, but it wasn't that bad.

The only time I remember being pretty sick for a long time was around the age from 7 to 12.
I was sick for a week and since then I have only had minor colds or a high fewer that goes away within a day or two.

Obviously my body doesn't like being sick which is a good thing.

I almost never get sick but when I do... oh God do I get sick. It usually only lasts three days at most and 0ne on average but they are the worst days of my life. I also usually contract an illness from a family member, which is another good reason to stay away from them.

I can't even rmember the last time I was sick that wasn't either alchohol related or eating something I shouldn't have.
