My experience is that anytime I was sick cold/fever my on was not as bad. It's like the noise from on was tuned down and other illness amplified. As the other thing started illness started to abate, on started amplifying.

No progression in my case. It certainly irritated things and caused a flare up but tapered off when the cold went away. Not sure why the common cold could/would cause a progression of symptoms. If you are healthy beyond the nerve damage I don't see why you would see a progression. I can't speak on the possibility of the Neuropathy worsening if it is auto-immune related, but i have never heard of that either. pretty sure it's a temporary situation.

I'm with Patrick Winter. Only had a cold once since getting PN. It made the symptoms temporarily worsen, than back to "normal"
