For me, a cold is almost always a mini version of the flu and I do find that my lupus flares up worse during and after the cold. I had been that way for years before diagnosis and thought my husband was very strange when he told me that for him a cold is contained strictly at and above the neck! I didn't realize it wasn't "normal" to have all those body aches with a cold.
My lupus will also flare up worse with a sinus infection, or the stomach flu, etc.
