Ilness

I'm full of cold, have an awful cough that's affecting my asthma, and hurt/ache from my shoulder blades down to my feet. I've heard illness can trigger relapses, is that right? Will being ill affect my ms? What should I expect roughly? x

I was waiting to see if someone else would jump on this but in short, yes, illness can bring on a pseudo attack that will likely mimic old symptoms and be especially worrisome. That is one reason they recommend the flu shots and any infection avoidance steps you can take. Some of our DMTs also reduce our immunity. This article says it better than I can- https://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/multiple-sclerosis-cold-flu#1 Good luck - take care of yourself ;-)
