Englische Umfrage: 80 % haben weniger Erkältungen/Grippen
Deine Meinung/Studien warum manche weniger/keine Grippe mehr haben wäre interessant.
Sofern du antwortest "Mehr Erkältungen & Grippen", wie oft hast du diese pro Jahr/seit ME?

richvank: Why don't PWMEs get colds and flus? I think it's because of the constantly elevated interferon responses. This produces what has been called the "antiviral state." With this going on, it's difficult for a newly introduced virus to get a foothold.

Hip: Most ME/CFS patients seem to have increased immunity from catching the colds in circulation, but a smaller percentage of patients seem to catch everything going, this poll found.

WoolPippi: Yeah, for years I'm free of the cold/flue now, ever since I got ME. With me it's because my cortisol is low --> causing the immune system to run in full Diva-mode --> defeating any virus that even thinks of giving me a cold.

Wolfcub: However....when I caught that "flu" or whatever the heck it was that set all this stuff in motion, back in early Spring this year, I got no fever, not even a trace of one.

Hip: Rich Van Konynenburg had a hypothesis of how this seemingly increased immunity to viral infection arises: he thought that because some parts of the immune system in ME/CFS were working under par, this resulted in other areas of the immune system getting up-regulated in order to compensate. In particular, Rich though that our first line in immune defense — the interferon alpha and interferon beta response — was ramped up in ME/CFS patients in order to compensate for weaknesses in other areas of the immune system (weaknesses in natural killer cell and CD8 T cell function).
If you have your first line in immune defense (interferon) ramped up 24/7, this may mean that any cold virus that happens to land in your mouth or respiratory tract may tend to get immediately eradicated by the interferon response before it has a chance to take hold in the body.

Mark: I think I'm probably repeating myself, but I'm of the 'don't catch colds' variety, except that very occasionally, I will be in the company of friends when a kind of "24-hour flu" develops where I seem to go through all the symptoms of what would normally be a cold lasting a few days. On one occasion I even checked to see if anybody had had a cold and got one person to list the symptoms in order of occurence, which were exactly what I'd experienced in the space of a few hours. Fevers, sore throats, shivering, temperature, etc, the standard stuff, all quite intense but gone within 24 hours. I picture it as my immune system being constantly in readiness to respond to any invader, and perhaps quite efficient at dealing with them as a result.
