Common Cold Common after Drug Withdrawal?

This is the 2nd time I've experienced a bad cold since I quit using 5 months ago.  Has anyone else experienced getting frequent colds during recovery?

Amen.

I get 'em (colds) every other week or so. Not sure why though. I'm taking care of myself with vitamins, protein drinks and just overall being a goody-two-shoes but I just can't stop sneezing. The sneezing happens everyday but the cold symptoms ony come every other week or so.

I guess it's just payback for being an oxy dunce?
Me being an oxy dunce...not any of you fine folks.
OTC Cold meds don't seem to help neither.

It's very plausible to have those types of symptoms. I sometimes get downright flu like symptoms with withdrawel. Muscles aching, feverish. Hate it!
