I'm fighting a cold, YEAH!!!!!!

I know this sounds crazy but I'm fighting a cold and feel great!!!  My two year old is sick, low grade fever, runny nose and cough.  I feel a little congestion, but I haven't felt this good in a long time.  It's almost like my immune system has something to do other then kick my butt.  The last two days I've had more energy and less pain then I can even remember.  Still have a bit of tiredness and some brain fog, but what a difference.  Anyone else get this?  It just seems so weird to feel so good while I'm fighting a bug, but I guess it kinda makes sense.  I just feel like I'm waiting for a bomb to drop, I've had so much stress lately that I know my body is going to turn on me, so it's hard to enjoy this little extra boost.  I hope everyone well.  Take care and God Bless.

Hey Jennifer! I have the same thing happen. I had walking pnuemnia a few weeks ago and had more energy and less joint pain than I have had in months. It was amazing, of course I took it easy so it wouldnt turn into pnuemonia but I felt great. Also, usually when I get a regular cold, I feel better in general. I am glad to hear someone else has had this happen. I know when I mention it to friends or family they look at me like I am crazy!

Glad you are feeling bettter :)

LOL, Jennifer, that's Lupus for ya eh!!!  It makes no sense whatsoever.  I have times like that too.  It's just so stupid.  I'm glad you feel so well fighting a cold!  See, that just doesn't ever get said unless you're on a Lupus support forum.  Keep going!!
