Has anyone found this to be the case at all?

As respiratory viruses are beginning to be seen as triggers for autoimmune neuropathy, its highly possible it can trigger it, because when you have a cold or the flu, massive inflammatory processes are going in your body, and would certainly worsen your neuropathy. Cold and flu are suspected to cause delayed effects as well. my PN began little more than a month after i had a pretty bad cold. i had bronchitis for a week, after the cold was gone.
