Luckily this has been my first cold since MS diagnosis. Do others feel more tingling and numbness than "normal". Thank you in advance for sharing

I always have tingling and numbness but when I get a cold or sinus infection it seems that the tingling and numbness can get worse but sometimes that gets worse with an exasperation as well.

It seems as though many of my symptoms increase during a cold or flu. I hope you get better quickly!

My fiancé was kind enuf to share his cold germs with me and yes my symptoms flare when ever i am sick w cold or infection. Surprisingly tho not when i had surgery and then pneumonia. My MS played nice thru all that

My MS comes out more with a cold. Keep an eye on what is going on with your health. While I was working I working my Amun system was so low I caught pneumonia and was out of work for over a month. I also worked with kindergartens. But just keep on your system.

Good luck.
