Weird symptoms

Does anyone else notice that when you’re sick you have weird symptoms? I lose my sense of taste and smell intermittently while I’m sick!

  1. You’re definitely not alone in that. Many members here have echoed similar experiences when they’re sick. Being sick is already uncomfortable, but those kinds of symptoms just make it feel even more off. Here's an article that talks more about those annoying MS symptoms, and the comment section is filled with members who've shared their experience with weird symptoms. I think you'll find it reassuring. You can access the article here- https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/some-of-the-weirder-ms-symptoms. Hang in there! -Latoya (Team Member)

  2. HI, ! I do hope other community members chime in here, as I know many of them have dealt with weird symptoms or especially odd things happening when they are under the weather. I know members have shared about smelling weird scents or smelling things that aren't there (like burning wood, cigarettes, coffee). I don't know if anyone here has shared about anosmia (loss of sense of smell), but it wouldn't surprise me is someone here besides you had experienced it.

    Either way, I do hope you don't get sick often and don't have to deal with these weird symptoms!

    Best, Erin, Team Member.
