Summer colds and flu – Does your ALS make them worse or about the same?

[Dagmar Munn]

Whenever I come down with a summer cold I’ve noticed my ALS has an effect on my symptoms. Pre-ALS, I had the usual chills, coughs, and sore muscles. Now, all those symptoms feel super amplified; especially affecting my swallowing and breathing. Thankfully, some Tylenol and a few days of bed rest do the trick.

Have you noticed any changes in your colds or flu symptoms since you’ve been living with ALS? What are the go-to remedies that help you to feel better and head towards recovery?
