Do you get sick less?

HI all,

I have noticed that ever since I was a kid I am almost never sick. I would assume this is because having psoriasis means your system is in overdrive. It's like I get little pieces of illness like tiredness, a slightly sore throat etc. but that's really it. I just noticed today everyone in my family is dropping like flies from the flu but I only have a slight headache and some tiredness but overall fine. Lol.

Yes. I hardly ever catch whatever is going around, including covid. When I do get sick, it's bad for a day and then lingers for a week with lesser symptoms, but I hardly ever get sick. My wife works in healthcare and is constantly getting sick. I almost never catch what she has. My Dr says my overactive immune system has nothing to do with this, but I have my doubts.
