1. Respiratory, definitely
I can always use my nebs to get relief. I also must mention that I have a terrible phobia (not just garden variety fear) with full out panic attacks if I even THINK I might puke.

I already get the barfing and other fun intestinal stuff at that time of the month.

3. Usually I would take the cold over the puking.....
...but when you start coughing so goddamn much your lungs hurt then it really loses its advantage.

4. Head cold, sinus stuff, no doubt.
At least I can eat while I'm watching TV and being miserable.

6. I second this--you can watch daytime TV with a bad cold
There's nothing to recommend stomach/intestine upset--it's so undignified.

7. I need to lose weight, barfing would help
I used to get sinus infections a lot and don't want to do that anymore.
