Get well soon, sounds like you have caught a man cold. I didn't know women could do that.

Oh you poor things. It's a bit flipping early for the autumn/winter cold season to start isn't it? I hope that both of you get it out of the way quickly and are fighting fit for the rest of the winter.

The old advice remains good- plenty of rest, plenty of fluids and plenty of inhalations. Get better soon both of you. :)

Hoping you feel a bit better today Tracey, there are lots of these nasty bugs doing the rounds at the moment. :)

Teflon, it was exactly the same for me. I had cold after cold for the first 5 months or so but since then nothing. Hopefully I've been through the healing/repair patch now and so will poorTracey and Tea. :)

As I understand it smoking weakens the defences but that its balanced out but the sterilising effect of the smoke.

So when you quit you have a period of time while your natural defences return to what they should be when you are more prone to infection.

Tracey,

get well soon. Spoil yourself as much as possible. You'll heal up faster if you rest!

Be vigilant if this is the first time you've been sick since you quit. Getting better can be a powerful trigger for some.
