Remember how I recently introduced my newest series, Is it just me? Well, I’m back with a second installment… (I know I haven’t yet published my follow-up to the clutter piece. I’ll get around to it. I promise.)
I am sick. And although it’s annoying, it’s better than a fibro flare. Hands down. And really, I shouldn’t complain… In fact, it’s got me feeling super grateful.
I rarely get sick. And by rarely I mean, I may get a mild cold once a year. But really… even that is more like a runny nose. So, I’m not sure this counts as a cold. It seems to be a rather vague diagnosis anyway. And it’s only really annoying when you’re trying to take a final and bending over your test in an attempt to focus only makes it more complicated to do anything but sniffle. But, back to my point.
Do I just have like a hyperactive immune system, or is there some relationship between my fibromyalgia and my rarely getting sick? Maybe it’s just to balance things out… since I fight fibromyalgia I’m given a bunch of sick-free years to keep it fair, or something? What do you think? Is it just me?
So fibrofolks, please tell me… do you rarely get sick? Or is it the opposite for you? Do you feel you get sick more often than non fibrofolks?
Grrrr.
No its not just you in fact I read somewhere not sure no where that not getting the common bug’s that most get as often as they do is common amongst Fibro folk ..Like I said not sure where I read it just one of those things that stick in my head for moments like this. I also am glad when I actually get sick! For one thing I sleep really good! second regular fever reducers like Ibp or Tylenol work for once!
