Question: do you notice a specific MS symptom that acts up when you experience another heath problem like a cold? I always have deep aches in my legs.

I got a stomach bug last May with a fever. My right leg quit working and I couldn't walk at all. My poor husband! I was throwing up and couldn't get to the bathroom. This went on for hours. He finally drug me down the stairs and took me to the hospital. I was totally dehydrated and they gave me a lot of anti nausea IVs. It took hours until I was hydrated enough to go home. I left the hospital hydrated and nausea and fever free. Illnesses scare me! Why do they effect are legs so much??

Here's the irony of it: the best relief for my legs is direct heat or soaking in a bath even though I'm heat intolerant!

That is ironic😜. I'll try heat if my leg does that again. What do I have to lose...

Sadly, with MS and the many meds out there, your immune system can be extremely lowered if not removed altogether opening the door to even something as simple as a cold or fever. Go through the same everyday.

I've heard that when we come down with a cold or other illness that it is BAD on us. Been lucky so far and have not caught anything. My legs hurt really bad now also.
