Has anyone encountered a mechanism / explanation for why some people with ME / CFS don't get colds or flu? Or can anyone suggest one?
I haven't experienced a cold or flu since 2013, when my ME/CFS detoriorated and reached it's current state. Before 2013 I would get colds and flu a lot and heavily. I go to work and the shops etc so I'm not housebound.
I'm not alone in this:

Perhaps my expression of ME / CFS is an immune system that is overactive, always on, and therefore works too well?
