CFS temporarily "cured" during common cold

@drob31, yes I think norepinephrine could play a central role in the fever effect.

Low tyrosine, would lead to low NE. Tyrosine seems to be really effective at times as is anything that boosts dopaminem

I'm starting to think this improvement is due to increased thyroid hormone being produced.

Same boat here, feeling amazing during a cold...

i don't know about tyrosine it used to make me so anxious/wired like i drank 5 coffees in a row. I actually throw it to garbage after 2 pills. I hate this wired feeling it's awful.

When i'm sick i am calm, collected and my head feels clear despite the little groggy feeling. Always guessed it has something to do with endorphines but actually never did researches...

I think I have the beginning of a common cold. Now I wonder, should I cure it while it is still very mild, or should I do nothing, let it be and see if my CFS will get better. Ludicrous decisions, sigh. I rarely get any cold.

I started noticing my ME/CFS symptoms fade around 24 hours after feeling the first symptoms of a cold, so at least in my case the response was pretty quick. Don't think it's worth waiting too much longer than that. Also the curative effect seems to depend a bit on the type and strength of the chronic infection. I once noticed a similar benefit from food poisoning, but other times in the past a minor cold haven't always triggered clear benefits. Hope you get "lucky" and get to enjoy normality for a while.

Thank you 24 hours sound good! I could still cure it, if it didn't do any good.
I have little chills and sore muscles at the moment, this common cold is a bit shy. It is interesting though, it's a different type of pain than usual CFS pain.

I didn't test common cold, but sometimes I have similar benefits when I do not have enough sleep. All symptoms gone.

when I was moderate with ME, I had that feeling one time.
In hindsight Im convinced it was just adrenaline. 👇🏼https://www.hfme.org/adrenalinesurgetips.htm
