Never get colds or flus anymore? Here's one theory as to why....

What would be interesting to know if other autoimmune diseases also do this ? I've not had a cold in years . If I do get one I feel my best right at the end of it . The weird thing is I used to have flares when my folks got the flu injection . I think we catch things but gobble then super quickly and don't realise we have it . That's been my oetvtheiryvfir years. Prior to becoming ill I caught everything going
, it became embarrassing . Then when I got bad - caught nothing . This must mean something and if it doesn't occur in other autoimmune diseases then it's interesting . Maybe us folks are a subset . Can someone tell the researchers to stratify according to this ??? Fluge and mella do they know this ???
