I know this may sound strange… But: Im full of cold at the mo and as a diary of my day…
I slowly got out of bed this morning, feeling like crap, legs were worse than normal etc… As the day progressed my energy levels & consontration increased dramatically. I even got in my car and drove to see my mum, went shopping and even did a bit of gardening. My legs improved, i started to smile, the glint in my eye came back, i was chatty, i felt good
So to cut a long story short: Whilst there is the cold bug inside me, my immune system seems too busy fighting ‘it’, rather than attacking my nerve endings for no reason !
So my theory is: If we give our immune system something else to do… it wont get bored and attack our nerves ! Im not saying inject ourselves with a virus everyday, or self harm…
But… Has anyone else felt a dramatic reduction in MS symptoms, whilst ill ?
Yeah me too. Had flu a few years ago and really did believe I was dying… and didn’t care! (have flu jab now)
But I have noticed with MS hug if I eat something small it relieves the hug for a while… seems like my body is concentrating on digesting and forgets about hug… for a while anyway.
Thanks for your comments guys. I felt really good today… ok, i had a cold which was much more worse than a normal one granted, i still had the sniffles and other symptoms normally associated with a common cold, but i found i could consontarte more and do stuff like get out the house without any anxiety or vertigo. I soon forgot about my cold as i was happier that my MS symptoms seemed to have been reduced just for a few hours. As you all say: it effects people in different ways. Lets see what tomorrow brings
