How often can I change the mind about vampirism or lycanthropy

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I'm not sure whether I want to become a vampire or a werewolf, or just remain a normal human being. I'd like a chance to explore all my options.

I know there are ways to cure vampirism and lycanthropy. And I'm pretty sure there's ways, at least with vampirism, to re-acquire the conditions.

What I want to know is if there is ever a point of no return? Is there a point past which you become immune to either or both of these, or a point past which one or both can no longer be cured? How many times can I change my mind before reaching one of these points?

DLC Dawnguard Information

If you have the DLC Dawnguard you can flip back and forth between the too. From the Skyrim Wiki:

"In Dawnguard, if you are cured of Lycanthropy or if you become a vampire lord you can talk to Aela and she can make you a Werewolf again and it cancels out your vampirism vice versa. If you would like to be a Vampire Lord again, speak to Serana."

Skyrim without Dawnguard

Without the DLC once you are cured of Lycanthropy. You can not get it again, with the exception Hircine's Ring. As long as you don't have Lycanthropy, you can contract Sanguinare Vampiris (which turns you into a vampire) from a vampire. There is a 10% chance to contract it when they cast Vampric Drain on you. If you cure it you can contract it again with the same method.

The important thing to note is Lycanthropy cures Sanguinare Vampiris. So if you have Sanguinare Vampiris and then get Lycanthropy you will cease being a vampire.
