Viruses - effect

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone else finds that their body feels like the flu almost every cold they get? I find that when I get a cold it just creels like the flu...headache, weakness, sore and achy all over...on top of the other cold symptoms...I usually only feel this way for like 1 day...just strange :( I’ve had a flu shot and normally it doesn’t last long enough to actually be the flu...

@amanda_hibbs , having MS means that our immune system is somewhat compromised, i.e. it doesn't work properly. So, any viruses/infections can cause us problems. Hence, the annual Flu jab is recommended for MSers, as a "vulnerable group".
