As far as colds go...if all my friends and acquaintances over the years that had 4 or 5 colds in a winter were dying, they all would have been dead years ago! None are. And I know you know that...intellectually. Anxiety, the most nasty form of fear, throws your intellect right out the window :-) But you know that, too!
The common cold, even if you annoyingly had 12 of them in a winter, rarely kills anyone, especially someone young, strong and healthy with a good immune system and no heart or lung problems, such as yourself. Wash your hands a lot, rest, eat well, take your meds...you are safe from death by cold, methinks.
So glad you are feeling well overall :-))
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
