Sick

I had to call out of work sick today, I have a fever, cough, cold symptoms. One of my coworkers texted to check up on me and I told her I'm ok, she said "just making sure it's not a bad flare up" which I know she meant well by. My response was no, just regular sick with a fever. I haven't started any DMTs yet. But honestly..my whole body hurts and the fatigue is unreal, I've barely been awake all day and standing for more than a couple minutes is painful. At this point idk if it's the sickness causing this or if the fever caused the MS to kick into overdrive. Does anyone's symptoms get worse when you're sick? Thanks.

@missyt yes sometimes my MS acts up when I get sick.

It’s two viruses fighting each other, MS and a cold, if you’re on a B cell depleting medication good luck, you may have picked it up from somewhere unintentionally, I know when I used to work I would catch colds from work, I don’t work anymore and haven’t had one since
