cold

[steph1]

I get a cold about every two weeks does anyone else suffer with this ?

I'm pretty certain that cold and flu symptoms are part of the symptoms of lupus? That's what iv been told anyway xx

Yes!! Always blamed it on my weakened immune system & the fact I'm a teacher around germy children all day, but I'm on maternity leave just now & still loaded!! So my dodgy immune system it is!! xx

Yes, I have constant sore throat, earache, swollen glands and a cough!

[Petrof]

Exactly the same symptoms as florence1884, maybe not that much cough but dry mouth and red eyes. Also work in a school (secondary) with constant viral infection all around. It always get worse in the autumn so I believe it has something to do with the viruses around (I read somewhere recently that there are about 250 cold viruses around, so that is enough to go around the whole year for those with a compromised immune system). I am as far as considering moving to work away from children to lower the exposure to infections but it is not easy, as I always worked in schools as a teacher and now a TA.

Yes! I have a low grade sore throat, headache, cough and runny nose pretty much all of the time. It never quite develops to a full blown cold but I seem to constantly be in that prodromal phase.

I get constant cold sores - we all suffer, but in different ways!
