A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭
South Croydon, UK

I just wondered how many of you do not get colds. I have not had a cold now for over 5 years. I could wake up with a runny nose, sore throats, bad chest but by lunch time it's gone. I put it down to having such an over active immune system it fight it's off ( not sure if that is right but it's my theory ).

I get many other lupus symptoms like joint pain, headaches, fatigue etc but curious as to why I don't get colds and how many of you don't either.

I have not had a cold or the flu since I was diagnosed with Lupus.

I also wonder the same thing.. I never get colds and flu, or anything for that matter, but my immune system is happy to attack my healthy cells, ahhh what a life 😵

I get colds but not often. I only get them light, while other friends and family members are heavy with colds, I might sneeze a few time, and may have a runny nose. But it doesn't usually last very long
