From reading the trivia page it seems that his sickness was in fact symptoms of radiation poisoning and that was making him sick.
The IMDb Trivia pages are written by IMDb users like you and me; not by experts with some sort of authority. So the information you find there is just as good and reliable (or as bad and unreliable) as the information on these boards.
Every Sam that went into the pod seemed weak. I think it was done not only to kill him but also so when Sam wakes up he has some memory of not being too well before his "accident" Just a thought
That doesn't add up. Every new clone is not supposed to be a continuation of the last clone. When a Sam-clone "wakes up", he does not have memories of how the last clone felt before he went into the pod that destroyed him.
When a new Sam-clone is awakened, the last thing that the clone remembers is the (fake) memory that he was traveling in a spaceship from Earth to the Moon. GERTY then tells him the lie that there was an accident when the spaceship landed on the Moon, and that that crash had knocked him unconscious. This lie is what GERTY tells to every Sam-clone. In other words, every new clone starts from exactly the same starting point.
