The flu guarantees a relapse for me.

I had fever last night and definitely felt a higher than normal amount of fatigue. It has carried over to today, as well.

My ONLY known trigger for a relapse is a cold or flu. I have recently been using Amantadine & Tamiflu at the first signs of any flu/cold symptoms, and this step has made a huge reduction in my relapse rate.

Absolutely. every relapse I have had has immediately followed a cold or flu. Getting the sniffles terrifies me!

I haven't been officially dx with MS, but every time I get a cold or the flu my "symptoms" seem to flare up. I got sick this past week with the flu and every day since has been miserable... my legs feel incredibly weak, my vision in my left eye is blurry, having trouble concentrating etc. etc.
