I had bronchitis for a week and I had my fiance at my beck & call...I need to be with someone. He took a few days off work and he helped me forget how sick I really was. I wouldn't have been able to feed myself otherwise. Then my mom & dad came to visit me and brought me chicken soup and it did me good! I hate being alone ANYWHERE, so yeah....I like company when I'm sick.

It depends, sometimes when I'm sick I'm uber cranky and like to be alone and others I'm just too sick to function and need someone to help take care of me. Ha.

i like to be taken care of when im sick, im like a little baby haha.. but i do like to SLEEP alone, so if im sleeping with my hunny buns i go to bed WAY before he does so i dont notice when he comes in , and sometimes he doesn't even wanna sleep with me cuz he doesn't wanna get sick which is OK with me haha

Left alone. Oh please God, leave me alone. I can get my own stuff, I can blow my own nose, get away from me.

i am sick right now, and love it when people baby me! i like to be pampered for sure...

I am the exact opposite, Dear! I hate being alone when I'm sick, especially since I get super homesick (I live in a different country than most of my friends and family) and I just really want to be taken care of when I feel miserable. Last time I had the flu, my boyfriend spent the weekend with me and did everything from cooking to making me take my medicine. But I'm kind of like SummerBaby, as I don't mind actually sleeping alone since I toss and turn so much when I'm sick - as long as someone else is in the house!

I get really lonely when I'm sick...I need someone with me!

I like to be cuddled when I'm sick! but only if the other person is sick too! I hate knowing if I can make someone else sick!

I was sick a couple of weeks ago, really sick! I was all by myself, (all my family lives out-of-town and I broke up with my boyfriend before the holidays).

I can tell you that being alone while you're sick makes the whole experience a lot more depressing.

I don't want a bunch of people around me blowing my nose or nagging me about taking my medicine, but one person that cares for you, that brings you chicken soup to bed or a glass of water would've been nice.

I like to be left alone some of the time when I'm sick, so I can just relax and watch movies for hours. But I do like having someone take care of me. So, really, a little bit of both is good. Unless I'm really, miserably sick, then I want someone there.

I want to be alone - but have my honey in the other room, willing to do whatever I want! Unfortunately, he would rather be as far away from me as possible when he's sick!

I need to be cuddled! And it was my boyfriend who got me sick this time, so I don't have to worry about him catching it

I need my boyfriend my side. If he can't, then I'd rather be left alone. He's the only one I want.

I like to be left alone. I get irritable when I'm sick.

"I can tell you that being alone while you're sick makes the whole experience a lot more depressing."

This is all so individual, though. I would be so much happier when sick if I could go out of town, not see a single soul I know, and just be completely alone.

I like to be alone but want people to at least check up on me.

Ha, Greggie, your first post is exactly how I feel.

Last night I had a headache so bad I couldn't move without feeling like my head would absolutely explode. Shifting positions even slightly was excruciating. My boyfriend helped me in countless ways (getting various medicine, water etc) and I was so thankful he was there to make the experience slightly less horrendous.

In general, though, I can go either way when I'm sick. I like knowing someone is looking in on me, but but I'm happy just being alone and/or sleeping. I think I would go crazy if someone was being too officous though and would prefer being left alone to having someone in my face all day.

I like having my boyfriend around - but that's all. He will cuddle and take care of poor sick me

I like to have someone pampering me! it makes me feel loved in spite of the misery.

I like to be left alone. I usually hide out in my bed and zone out in front of the tv. My hubby will check on me but i prefer to be by myself and just be miserable! I like having him in the other room if i need him but i get cranky and don't want to be bothered.

I'm so grumpy and I get impatient and irritable when people are aorund when I'm sick. but it is nice every now and then to have someone to make my tea if I don't feel like it

i def dont wanna be baby-ed, and i dont wanna cuddle when im snotty and fleghmy. i would like an occasional kiss on the forehead or the hand....some chicken soup made for me is nice also...but dont smother me plzzzz (and no one does really =P ) haha

when i am sick i sleep for 2-3 days straight, so it really doesnt matter to me if others are around. its nice to come out of hibernation to my bf though

I am in the middle. I like to sleep a lot but if I am awake I like to be around my boyfriend. He will do really cute things like go out and buy me gingerale and crackers and make sure I have enough blankets and pillows and let me watch whatever like putting Friends DVDs on! =)

I like company when I'm sick...but when I'm in pain, leave me alone if you know what's good for you. I sometimes get really bad stomach pains (feels like stabbing) and when my boyfriend stares at me, wishing he could do something, I end up snapping at him (stop looking at meeee!) and then end up feeling worse.

Of course not. But when that happens, my husband calls a day-off and stays me with the whole day.

For the most part I like to be alone. It is nice if someone checks up on me once a day (to make sure I haven't keeled over) and to see if I need anything. But I don't want to give anyone else my cold...and I'm usually a trainwreck when I'm sick so it's probably better to not let anyone witness that!

When I'm sick, I like to go at it ALONE. Everyone seems to want to help me out when I'm not feeling well, and I know they mean well, but it's so annoying. Chances are, I'm concentrating on making the pain and sniffles go away, and someone else babbling about how I should have worn my coat and asking me if I'm SURE I don't want to see the doctor is annoying.

This is the perfect topic, since I spent this weekend nursing my boyfriend back to health. He was so concerned about getting me ill, but I couldn't resist snuggling and cuddling with him.

I'm currently flu bugging right now!
I got it bad last week, Thursday and Friday I was immobile.
It was great to have my BF around. He ran to the drug store, made me soup for dinner, super helpful & wouldn't have made it thru very easily without him.
I didn't want him hanging out in bed with me, cause I didn't want him getting what I had, but it was great to have him around.

I like being alone on my couch with the tv on (if my head doesn't hurt too badly) with someone occasionally checking on me.

Stay away! IF I need something I'll let ya know, otherwise scram.

Ughh! Leave me alone! Being in the same home is okay, bringing soup and checking in on me once in a while is perfect. Do NOT lay on the bed and watch cartoons with me or anything else. I don't want to feel like I need to keep a conversation going with you.

i'm already a b*tch when i'm not sick. would you really want to deal with me when i'm stuffed, sneezing, aching, missing work all because someone passed their filthy germs to me??????

beware or endure my wrath!! (muhhhahahahhahaha).

the only thing i would need from loved ones is to go to the store and buy medicine, other than that, leave me alone.

It depends. If I just have a cold or something of the sort, I wouldn't mind the the company and chicken noodle soup. If I have the flu or anything that involves going to the bathroom a lot, throwing up, or even just feeling like throwing up, I'd rather be left alone. When I'm sick like that, I get irritated by the smallest things (even just having the TV on).
