Ok so here is the run-down, I last year was my senior year of college (STRESS) and I used to get sick almost every single month until May 2006. Whenever there is a bug going around I get it so quickly, and prior to my last school year I'd get sick three times a year. I've gone to doctor's they have said it's nothing, it'll go away, but I'm getting concerned, what can I do?

Maybe it's your stress that is making your immune system suffer. Try to find ways to relax more, and don't procratinate your assignments. If you get sick, try not to take any Tylenol or the like, but only if you can take the heat. Yes, it will be miserable to live through, but your sickness will be killed quicker with a REASONABLE fever. Unless the fever is really bad, try to take it, it will shorten the time of your being sick significantly.
At least your immune defenses are building up, so that you won't be able to catch the same thing again. If you are really concerned, you should ask the doctors whether you have an immune defiency.

Sufficicient sleep is needed! If all else fails, see your healthcare specialist.

Washing your hands in warm water for at least 15 seconds is very important... and do it OFTEN! Also, take notice of what your hands are doing.. in other words do you touch your mouth, eyes, ears or nose a lot without even realizing it? I used to be famous for rubbing my eyes w/o even realizing it and once i stopped I wasn't sick near as often! You may also want to get a good multi-vitamin, drink lots of O.J and rest when your body tells you that it really needs it!

If you're like most college students you
1. don't get enough rest (parties are very stressful)
2. drink too much alcohol at the parties (lowers the immune levels)
3. possibly smoke hand rolled cigarettes at all the parties (also lowers the immune levels and is illegal)
4. don't get enough vitimin C

Don't smoke, wash your hands more, stay away from coughing people, drink juices, take vitamins, especially vitamin c, drink 8 glasses of water a day, get plenty of rest, eat right.
