I'm not on a B Cell depleter DMT so I get colds or coughs as much and for the duration as before I had MS. 1-2 week to shake off.

I have switched to Ocrevus which I thought would be worse for infections but after 2 years I haven't really experienced bat colds. In fact I didnt get any symptoms when my wife and kids were last sick. I guess the immune suppression also suppressesWhen I was on Gilenya I used to get quite sick from little viruses that would go through the family.
