No, I know what you are taking about. My mother noticed too that the only time I was nice and cheerfull as a child was when I was sick, as soon as I got well again I was back to my bitter, miserable self.

I think it has something to do with the effects of the sickness on sleep. If I recall reading somewhere, a fever actually supresses REM sleep much in the same way that sleep deprivation, or an antidepressant might.

Some people may say thats nonsense, cause you would expect a sickness to depress, but I know what you are talking about, at least with me.
