I've seen somewhere written that if you have neuropathy and then get a flu or cold, it's a lot worse. I've been lucky enough not to have had a flu this winter, but am wondering if anyone here has, and just how bad is it? If I get the flu, should I increase my Tramadol?[/QUOTE]

Now that you ask....lol.....just got back from my PCP a little while ago.....I've been bad for over 2 weeks.....spent days in bed with neuropathy pain in legs, both arms and as always the feet and hands. I had no idea what was going on.....then the upper resp / sinus stuff started and I battled that for a week before breaking down and going to the dr.

So for me I'd say yes......made everything worse. This is the first cold / sinus issue I've had since the SFN started. I usually only take 1/2 a vicodin at a time but I was using a whole one plus 1/2 a Xanax just to try and get through the pain.
