Bad Cold/Flu and Twitching?

[DanceDuck]

I think I know the answer to this question but does having a bad cold or flu effect twitching? This is the first bad cold or possibly flu since my bfs started a little over a year ago and I am twitching way more than usual and I usually twitch a lot.

That is very common, my twitches even flare up about 1-2 days before the illness fully breaks out

That's exactly what happened to me. About 2 or 3 days before I got sick my twitches were at a all time high. Thanks for the feedback.

One last question. Does the flared up twitching usually stay around for a while after you get over your cold or flu?

It has been widely reported that illness generally results in an uptick in symptoms/twitching. How much of an increase and duration I'm sure varies from person to person.

I believe this relates to be increasing activity and the immune system. I have a product here call Pro boost, which I was taking for a while when I felt that my immune system was sluggish. This was after I identified that I have cytomegalovirus active infection. Figured that I could use a immune boosting supplements, and after doing research settled on this product. Was taking it for about a week, and consistently, after I would take it, my twitching would double or triple. The only difference going on In my body, was that I was stimulating immune activity. When you get sick, with the flu or a cold, your immune system kicks into gear, and for whatever reason, this results in increased twitching for most people. So this is probably what is going on. And it absolutely will subside after the infection is gone, and the immune system has calmed back down. It was nice to finally find a definite cause/reaction effect going on with my BFS.

Burger, thanks for the reply. That actually makes a lot of sense. Now if I could just get rid of this nagging cold.
