Not the cold...but the germs! My son has croup and I have whatever virus causes it.  Sometimes I think being sick my body switches to fighting the bug and doesn't flare as bad, but not so much with upper resp infections.  So I'm really dragging.

 
My son is also in preschool and it's just so hard to not get what they get (especially when you are holding them and they sneeze in your mouth while you are talking...that seems to do it.)  I just stay sick a lot of the winter and now that I'm on MTX--!  As it is I rarely run fevers, just get run down and virus symptoms. 
 
Does it make sense to flare when you are sick?  I dunno.
Yes it makes sense to me. If you are sick it can cause flares. Be careful!Yes, and I can totally relate.  I have to little boys, whom I love dearly, but bring home everything!!I heard Zicam's good too.
As the school year starts, I'm looking forward to the kids going back, but not the 'bugs' they'll be bringing home. I was so sick the last few winters, especially with strep! I think I'll migrate with the birds this year!
