I often have an paradoxical mood improvement in the first couple of days of a cold, despite miserable sneezing & dripping, and I don't think I'm alone -- there's a thread a year or two back. Maybe the immune system kicking in also does something mentally. Now, if only my pollen allergies would work that way....
