Well, the first cold has entered the building!..my 19 year old is in sore throat and snot city
Wish le luck folks 
good luck keep us informed!
So just woken, and no cold yet 
but I know I’m in a flare at the moment which started end of July beginning of August and as my immune system is obviously stronger and causing my joints problems (have a whole new crop of flare sites as well as some of the old favourites) I may get away with it this time I’m hoping
Fingers cross! I feel a sore throat coming on so lots of honey tea and sleep for me tonight! Good morning and well Good night for me! :)
Oh fingers crossed for you shutterbug, at least my kids are adults and don’t require mummys kisses on hot snotty little faces lol but you know, I sort of miss those days
Ok, My eldest son, is now in the grip of a streaming cold too...........so 2 men in the house with bad colds and 1 supposedly immuno-suppressed mother who is (so far) fine. Errrr???? :)
Louise,
Sometimes I think a flare is caused by my body fighting off a cold or flu or other bug. I get exposed to something and very shortly suffer a big flare with or without cold/flu symptoms. Just a thought on something I have noticed. Hugs and prayers that you miss it this time!
You maybe right Michael, this flare is just getting worse, started end of July and I thought it was just my usual flare I get in summer but ts just increasing, I also think my MTX is not working effectively anymore ( seeing specislist next month) SI really painful at work, left shoulder, sides of both feet and big toe joints all flaring. Just woken up and still thankfully cold free
