My 3 siblings have had it a number of times, but never here. Apparently some level of natural immunity. Never had strep throat either despite all around me getting it. When I asked the doctor about the strep thing she said I probably did carry it, but didn't get symptoms. Seems like that would be less likely with bronchitis.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

I had bronchitis at least once a year until a few years ago, when I switched to sinus infections. I missed weeks and weeks of school, because the teachers would send me home for coughing. My mother was always battling to keep me in class, because I coughed for weeks after the disease itself was gone.
This Nightline Prime is about Munchausen by Internet, and the psychologist they interviewed said, "I call it Munchausen by Internet." I doubt he was the first to call it that.

I had pneumonia once, but not bronchitis as far as I'm aware...
I did get weighed at the doctors office today, and am rather dismayed at the number.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Took three Advil, and I'm feeling better, but I know it's temporary.
I haven't been losing weight lately, and I don't know why. I know why I gained during the semester, but I figured that, once the semester was over, and I could get back to eating healthy, then I'd lose the weight. But, not at all. It's annoying me, a lot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had bronchitis once, but I didn't get abs from it. I've never had abs. Maybe I have a natural immunity to abs.

I did have walking pneumonia once, does that count?

I got bronchitis every fall like clockwork until I was 15. That was also the year I moved from MI to NC, which may not be a coincidence. Never had abs, though.

Timelies all!
I got bronchitis and walking pneumonia(not at the same time) a few times in high school/college. Haven't had a major illness in quite a while. Just lucky, I guess.

I get bronchitis fairly regularly, now it's every couple of years instead of every year, thank goodness. These days I feel like I pick up every cruddy bug that comes around, like my immune system thinks I'm a rookie at a daycare center. Very, very, super annoying.
