@Caroline thank you for the clarification I will put my cap away now as it's Saturday. 
@Turnedlight Yes Humira does weaken your immune system and you could be more likely to pick up a cold, but having said that by having psoriasis your immune system is already having problems. I like Caroline rarely get colds of flu, and if I do they are never any worse than Mrs Fred.
Some of us more prone to getting colds, my sister seems to get every cold going and worse than those around her but she doesn't have any immune problems or drugs related to lowering her immune system. So could it be that you did tend to get colds worse than others around you, and maybe Humira has just made you a bit more susceptible to them. Maybe as your body gets used to Humira it may tail off.
EDIT: How come Caroline says Antibiotics Don't fight viruses, yet Jim says they Do
Confused.
