Hi Pat, I dont seem to get much in the way of bad colds...............family had a nasty one and I felt it coming. Theirs lasted a couple of weeks, mine lasted a day!
I asked a similar question on here, about cold sores. prior to my MS days, I got really awful ones.very aggressive and lasted ages. Now I sometimes just get a tiny one, but it doesn`t get big or sore.
The replies I got were mixed. But there is a theory going round, that MS could be caused by the herpes virus. I often wonder if my virus has gone inwards and caused MS.
Hi very rarely get colds although I have a head cold at present due to the fact that I went out on my buggy in the rain the other day, it’s not that bad though no sore throat or temperature just a stuffed up nose so I suppose you could say it’s a chill more than a cold.
Must say that I wondered why I never got colds? Long before I knew I had MS.
Hi Poll, I also used to get huge cold sores before I got MS (really gross ones that make you want to hide from the world). Like you I now just get a tiny tingly one that lasts a day or two. Haven’t had a big one since I got MS symptoms. Think you’re onto something there! I do wish the researchers would talk to us… or at least read our forum (but maybe they do…)
