Hey eirwen, gentle hugs.

I never got a single cold before being diagnosed with fibro about 7 years ago - but once Mr Fibro kicked off well and truly, I catch colds every time someone sneezes! And boy, do I suffer for it then. Colds after cold I had from just before Christmas last year until about a month ago. They would last as long as a month at a time - leaving me utterly deflate and totally devoid of any energy - my get-up-and-go got-up-and-went and hasn't been seen or heard of since! :-P

Take care,

Love,

Carol xx
