There’s a logical connection – the adrenaline drop brought about by such a break brings a correlated drop in resistance (Anuradha hit the nail on the head). Unfortunately it’s not just Murphy’s law. The upside is that you are less prone to get majorly sick at the less convenient time (ie – finals week, big work deadline)

I’m sick every Thanksgiving without fail. I don’t think I’ve actually enjoyed the taste of turkey since before my undergrad years. I hope you feel better and enjoy relaxing on your couch!

While I was a student, the same thing would happen to me. I would be crazy busy with classes and then when things died down and I had a vacation, I would consistently get sick. I wonder if the adrenaline from all the busy-ness kept me well and then once I had a moment to chill out, the sickness would take over. I always looked at colds are nature’s way of forcing me to relax. Feel better!

It always amazes me how quickly these sorts of symptoms can set in. I hope you feel much better soon.
