what was your health like when you were a child?

apart from chicken pox , fine

Never had chicken pox, rarely ill other than ear infections.
Always covered in scrapes and grazes though which I thought was normal but DD has never so much as grazed her knee and I have shocking spatial awareness and am still quite clumsy misjudging door frames and clipping them as I walk through so perhaps it was a me thing.

I had quite bad eczema and skin allergies to things like washing detergent. Apart from that nothing major.

I know I had flu as a tiny baby, but just coughs and colds after that. I picked up a horrendous stomach bug, age 7, after playing in a dirty puddle over a drain. Didn't get chickenpox until I was 15, and then I was very unwell. I'd say I was a healthy child.

Very healthy, we all were, also mixed race, and I think that is helpful.

Chicken pox and cannot ever remember being unwell.

I remember having a lot of ear/throat infections over the years but other than that fine.

Frequent croup and a baby/toddler then frequent tonsillitis, up to 10 times a year, from a 2 until 14 when they took them out.
Depression and anxiety starting aged 8 but only recognised looking back. Significant problem from 14, diagnosed at 18
Disordered eating from 10, diagnosed with anorexia aged 18, then bulimia.

Frequent bouts of tonsillitis, all through childhood, several times a year. Other than that fine!

Never ill,but I did have chicken pox, measles and mumps all without any issue. Actually felt normal with measles, but remember milking it as it looked much worse than I felt. Made poor dad do a Disney marathon. Chicken pox , I got about 5 spots and felt totally normal. Mumps was the worst, but was still up and about. Even now I tend to get over things in a few days. As Id had zero vaccines not bad. Oh had scarlet fever too, again not much to talk about, ill a few days, then fine.

Don't remember many illnesses. I have no idea if I had chicken pox or not but I remember my mum and sister had it...not sure if I got it too. I remember having scaret fever. Other than that, just the usual ear infections and colds. I always suffered terribly with colds and still do...which I blame on the amount of passive smoke I was exposed to.

Had mumps once and remember that I felt rough then.

Had chicken pox but was fine with it.

Other than that, never more than a sniffle.

As an adult, I'm very healthy too and even when I got covid once I didn't know I had it.

I was anaemic, on and off. Had lots of viruses.

Had various childhood illnesses - tonsillitis, mumps, chickenpox, salmonella, scarlet fever.

I was always having UTIs and threadworms.

Endless tonsillitis until my tonsils were removed and then I got chest infections every winter for weeks, until i was around 25.
