Strange. Thanks for that. I caught a cold last week, had to take Mon/Tue off work. Did indeed start feeling ‘better from PFS’ Tuesday to the point I noticed.
Cold is almost done with now (the odd cough) but PFS mental sides kept improving thankfully.
Could be the SHEDLOAD of supplements I’m on or indeed anything, but enjoying it nonetheless!
Congratulations.
I want all the symptoms to go away.
Yeah I’m with you on that.
Same happened to me, never got a flu since 9 years when pfs started.
Do you have a leukocytes exam? My leukocytes almost doubled within tree months. This is certainly an autoimmune disease.
09/03/2019: Total leukocytes: 6310ul (3600 - 11000).
12/12/2019: Total leukocytes: 11220ul (3600 - 11000).
Now I’m scared.
The strange thing is when I did autoimune check blood test, it turned out to be negative. I am wondering if there is still autoimune disorder and the blood test, the normal one that is provided by NHS, cannot detect the issue…
2 weeks ago I got some sort of flu, sore throat for 3 days only, no fever at all, which is not tipical flu for me, dunno if I can call that flu tho… Before I always had fever and the flu I used to have was keeping me in this condition like a week at least with fever, and another week at least with sore throat, cough and runny nose. Now, it is not even close to what it was before.
I have experienced the same, situations that I should have flu and spend time in bed, are resolved in one or two days.
What is the probiotic called? Recently I had some success with them but unfortunately the negatives started to outweigh the positives.
This is a concept. I think this probiotic was a misfire and I do not recommend it. There’s also inappropriate immune suppression. I was just talking about this th17 pathway in another thread.
This probiotic suppresses th17 immune response. Talk about a powerful anti-inflammatory though, it felt like ice running through my veins. This effect has lingered. Looking at this, different probiotics or strains could drive immunity in different directions. This would maybe be somewhat specific as to what would be beneficial.
So I got a morning wood today and had to piss to make it go down. I was so happy. My libido is way way up and erections pretty strong. Also I wanted to listen to music and I felt more connected with nature.
Turns out now I’m getting the chills and feel like I’m coming down with something minor (cold). This is at least the third time this pattern has happened to me over the last two years.
Autoimmune stuff going on for sure. Dangit, wish this state lasted.
One good thing in PFS… No coronavirus for us tho 
Ha, I did think “if a cold can make us feel better, could the worst virus make us like superman?”
I am obviously joking.
As someone with a cold right now, I don’t actually feel great for it, so am not advocating a cheap flight to China.
Yeah bloody hell all my symptoms were gone for 2 days and now I’ve started coming down with something. Thought I may have been out of this mess!
Ah well at least this is an indicator that whatever is going on with us must be very treatable
I am having a very bad flu right now as i write this and i feel way worse, just like how a normal person would feel. My nose is blocked, have fever, headache, shivering, loss of appetite, body pain along with all the pfs symptoms as it is. I don’t know what to say about this autoimmunity theory, but i feel way worse right now.
Every time that i had a blood test while i was taking accutane my white blood cell levels were at least double of top range. Doctor was saying all the time “it can be a mistake sometimes our lab can’t measure these i believe you ok… bla bla” but i knew somethings were wrong. If our immune system somehow more active than before that means it may pressure and block some other systems in our body. As you know, every system in our body should be working when it’s needed. That can explain why majority of PFS/PAS/PSSD sufferers feel exhausted every time. Because immune system works every second even it is not needed. It’s been almost a year and i haven’t got a flu either. I am quite sure if i go and do a blood test the white cells will be still higher than the normal.
Hey guys i would like to continue this discussion. I recently caught a cold and while I obviously experienced the usual symptoms like a mild fever, stuffed nose etc, I felt mentally better. My mind was clearer, the brain fog vanished.
The decrease of symptoms started 1-2 days before the cold got to it’s strongest point when I had to stay in bed. Shortly after feeling better regarding the cold, my (neurological) PFS symptoms got worse and returned to the pre-cold level.
This is not the only time I have experienced it. I got COVID in February (a very mild case) and felt mentally better while having it.
Interestingly, I didn’t feel better when I was sick/ had a fever because of bacterial infections.
What could cause the ease of symptoms? How are hormons changing while having a cold?
I got a cold right now and it’s not very pleasant at all for me…
Since pfs I have terrible bronchitis two times in 19 Months. And Covid. Before I wasn’t sick for decades. I was walking cycling gym every day. I could be fit with 80 yo. No could and freezing all the time., Im 90 yo. Carelevel three, eith nures helping me through the day…
