For the last two and half weeks I've been sick with yet another cold, and just when I thought it was getting better and the symptom's were going away here comes another soar throat. I thought oh NO not agin! and I begun another regiment of over the counter medicines I then thought why did that happen? anyway fast forward another three days later, and I'm starting to finally feel better I'll just have to hope that I do not experience any return cold symptoms. Have you ever experienced the boomerang effect where a cold came right back and knocked you back in bed? and why do you think this happens? I have my own theory's but I'd love to read yours. By the way I still have this annoying cough that will probably take weeks to finally go away aww men haha sniff COUGH! sorry I didnt mean to cough all over the forum COUGH COUGH!

boomerang effect happens all the time. I mean its just the same concept about "dont do unto other as you dont want other do unto you" or you will reap what you sow or something like that/

Yes I guess you would have a point if we were discussing situations were someone had wronged us, BUT I'm talking about cold & flu symptom returning immediately after you recover from them.

yes i've experienced that. i think its been one month before i recovered eventhough i'm taking medicines and vitamins regularly.. that month is kind'a hell for me.. i can even breath well because of my cold and i can speak well because of my cough.. i can eat the food i want because my throat is aching.. i just eat porridge.. it was kind'a nasty cause its just pure rice and vegies.. arggh and i tend to eat it everyday luckily i can eat many fruits... and when i recovered i was very happy i ate a lot of food and enjoy the outside world....
