I don't like milking it. I'm someone who gets really guilty if someone does something for me. Yeah, the guild wears off, but it's still there for a while. If I'm really badly ill to the point I can barely get out of bed, then fair enough - I'll ask someone to get me a drink, but only if I'm totally unable to do it myself.
When other people are ill however, I'm the first person they turn to... >>;

Suddenly... clutter.:
Warning free for over eight years. Feels good.
I don't normally milk when sick. It's really the opposite actually. Medication, food, and company be damned. When I'm sick I want to be left alone in bed. I'm usually too exhausted and spaced out to even give people the time of day. When I do leave my bed it's to go to the comp to keep myself from being bored (I guess that habit doesn't change.). If I do ask for something, it's for water that isn't within 200 paces.
But lately I've been getting sick right at the start of every semester, at the beginning of fall or in the middle of winter. Someone usually gives it to me then. I usually have to force myself to go to class, trying to keep myself conscious and my nose from leaking everywhere. Asking for anything would just hurt my throat, so yeah.
