Cold and Flu with J-Pouch

NewPouchMikeMember

was wondering if anyone had any expertise/experience etc... regarding this topic..??

In past years (even before surgeries) I got flu shots and I didnt have any problems in winter months with cold/flu.

This year before I got a flu shot (early September) I got hit with a pretty good case of cold/flu. I took vitamin c, zinc..otc meds etc...and after a week or so I felt like it was out of me. However, in the past week (after only a couple weeks of feeling good) I got hit with it again. And now I am back on vitamin c,zinc..otc meds etc.....

Alot of people in area are coughing and sniffling so I feel like it is very likely just nothing more than cold flu...but wondering just how much our immune systems are compromised regarding contracting cold/flu...??

I'm intending to give myself a couple more days to try and shake it and if not go to doctor but just wondering if anyone here as any insight on this??... thanks............
