How often do you get sick compared to before alopecia?

Hi!
I never really ever get sick. If I get a cold or somthing, it goes away in two days. I was talking to someone that said because our immune system is in such overdrive, that is probably the reason why.
Does anyone there find that to be true?

I don't find that I get sick very often. If I do, it is a cold. I remember when I was younger, pre-alopecia, I did get strep very winter but I can't remember the last time I had it. Maybe it is true....

I've always had alopecia so I don't really have anything to compare with however I rarely get sick. Having three daughters who are constantly bringing colds and flus home from school, I rarely catch them. Our immune systems probably are boosted however I'm not very aware of any research being done on that but I would have to agree that it is probably the cause of our wellness. Many others I've spoken to also have found this to be true.
