Does anybody appreciate the common cold?

When my sons were young they would bring home colds which they caught from other children. In those days my immune system was stronger and I would catch a cold and be over it fairly soon. Now that my sons are 25 and older and my immune system isn't as strong when I get a cold it lasts longer and wears me out.
I am thankful when I only have a cold and I do my best not to share it.

I appreciate it to an extent. I still have to work and get things done, no rest for the weary.

As someone with small children who is just getting over a cold, I hate them. I hate them so much. I used to never get sick, but then pre-school happened and it's just been a parade of pestilence ever since.

In my 40's had to deal with pneumonia each winter until I had mitral valve repair surgery. I learned there is a correlation between pneumonia and mitral valve disease. I had had the flu a few times and bad colds. Given my druthers I prefer a cold any day to influenza or pneumonia.

My favorite herbal supplement is echinacea. Great for the immunity even if the cold is started.

No, I hate colds of any kind. They seem to go from colds to flu, to pneumonia.

I am surrounded by sick people everyday. Navy Medical Provider. But my immune system is fined tuned like a formula one race car. Clean diet, nothing less than a gallon of water a day, I work out 6-7 days a week, and I supplement with the worlds finest nutrition company to fill those nutritional gaps. The worst I deal with is seasonal allergies down here in the south east. If you support your body by feeding it the best and training it hard you will very rarely have to deal with "common cold" or "flu" or any other "URI".

LTC Stephen F., the common cold sucks. My youngest boy is in kindergarten and when he starts getting the sniffles I give him a small dose of a very dense nutrition drink I've been drinking for breakfast every single day for the last 4.5 years. When I started including this stuff in my meal plan, I was working as the NCOIC of the Family Medicine Clinic at Tripler Army Medical Center. While the staff would get sick every year, I did not. Which was annoying because they would have to take time off to recover and not infect other staff and patients.
I was so impressed with this stuff I posted a video about it when my little guy was two. It's actually kind a cute.
