its in our blood lol.
I get midly sick during the winter maining a stuffed up nose & cold like stuff but it only lasts a day or so. & mainly only when we get a big weather change like last week when it went from Freezing to midly warm weather.

I have not gotten the flu or a cold annually since I was in grade school. But the last time I was so sick that I could not move was about 5-6 years ago. I was so sick I did not want to get out of bed for 2 days, but then it went away and I was fine. It is probably just your immune system adjusting.

Being exposed to the weather almost every day, I have noticed a definite corrolation between changes in the weather and catching cold. It's pretty rare that I actually get a full blown flu though. I did get one this year though, just a couple weeks ago. It had me pretty scared for a while as the symptoms didn't respond much to traditional treatment.

It is ironic, though, at this time last year I had a cold.. and I have one now.

Sinusitis is similar to the flu in how you feel but it isn't the same thing. Most people out here (they are finding now) suffer from sinusitis and not the flu or colds as much as they thought.
I can tell when the weather changes from cold/dry to warm/soaked (yeah, there is a joke in there somewhere and I'm sure Rottluver will find it) cuz my sinues go nuts like a cold and or feeling like the flu coming on.
Mass packets of EmergenC ward it off pretty fast.
