Maybe it is the medication we take that is protecting us. AFter all amantadine was originally used to treat the flu. And as i look back on 27 years, i can remember plenty of colds, plenty of klu and tonsillitis, and even one horrific bout eith pneumonia..ANd that i was warned by the doctor to get a flu injection because i got such bad colds and coolant use over the counter medications because i was on eldepryl at the time. But , as far as i can remember, the colds grew less frequent in later years - maybe more sinemmet in the system? mayb the introduction of first permax and then mirapex. who knows That is why we need more epidemiiogical studies,. hilary blue.
