I wanted to ask if someone had noticed that while being opiate-dependent is impossible -almost for me- to get a cold/flu or even feel the symptoms.
Maybe I had but because of the opiate (heroin most of the time, or buprenorphine nowadays -ORT-) effects quit the symptoms of the flu, -or maybe the body is too intoxicated with drugs that don't allow influenza grow - I don't know, but that is what I've realised in my more of 4 years of opiate use, I've never had a cold/flu while on opiates, the closest I've felt are the withdrawals..
So if anyone had experienced this I'm curious to know
