I haven't had a cold or the flu for close to twenty years.
We are strange creatures.When I am getting well again, I get colds and flu.
This is really interesting to me. I used to get them at least once a year, if not twice.
But this makes me wonder as well if some with Me do not get colds because they are not in contact with people alot. Hmmm...

I can only count 1 flu and that one had the aching bones with it. I definitely picked it up from someone I knew because they had the aching bones as well a week before I got it. This was the flu that changed everything for me. I became bedridden with severe ME. It very nasty. The person who gave it to me recovered well, my life changed completely.I think I've had flu about 4 times in my life. colds...cannot think of a time, in countless years, long before I was out of circulation.

It was in 2001. I did eventually improve but it was all so painfully slow. I moved on to a more stable moderate level after about 6-7 years and then menopause began and changed things again. I now am moderate but have bouts of severe.How long ago was that, Rosie? Have you had any improvement at all?
