Multiple Sclerosis and Colds Stink!!

Okay, I have MS and I believe I should never get anything else. However, that is just not how multiple sclerosis works. I have had a cold now for eight days and today is the worse day of all. What stinks is that when anything is wrong with me health wise, my multiple sclerosis is worse. Today I am really having a tough time walking. My foot has been dragging a little more while I have been sick.

So, not only do I feel miserable from the cold (my throat is scalding), I have the side effects of multiple sclerosis! Since I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, I will focus on getting over the cold first. That will help the MS go so much better!

Here is the kicker, though, with being sick and having MS. I can't boost my vitamin intake of vitamin C as this pumps up the immune system. With multiple sclerosis, I already have a heightened immune system, boosting it more will just make the multiple sclerosis worse. How's that for a double whammy!?
