I was just wondering if anyone else notices how a normal cold can turn into an absolutley miserable situation, I have assumed with me it is the fibro that makes it worse, the achiness you feel with a cold is exaggerated 10 fold now. Am I the only one? I'm assuming a cold or illness triggers a flare as well, I just don't know what to do, I can't take anything really but man I hope this doesn't last long. 'Tis the season I guess

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Our immune systems are over active so when we catch a cold, the flu or anything else, it goes into overdrive. It makes the illness worse because it doesn't attack just the foreign bodies, it also attacks our own healthy tissue. Then it doesn't know when to stop because of the lack of differentiation.
An illness I would never wish on anyone.
I don't tolerate a lot of colds meds well, so I try steaming up the bathroom and putting a really warm moist washcloth over my sinuses
I hope you feel better soon.
