I've experienced this when I am sick with a cold or the flu, meself! I've noticed that my legs; and, even my arms and hands, don't seem to work so well, tremble more; and, I have a lot more spasms, cramps and shin spints; but, when my fevre goes back down to normal, I improve. I never connected the sickness with the spasms, pain and shin splints; but, I think you are correct; and, I feel, that you, too, will notice a decided improvement when you get well.

I also notice that my vision worsens; but, does get somewhat better when I get well; but never gets quite back to the level it was when before I got sick; but, I get used to the lower vision; although, it takes me much longer to figure out what it is I am trying to see with my vision; finding out that I can see better with my hands instead. But one cannot be putting one's hands just anywhere, now can one? LOL.

So, I try to stay as well as I can for as long as I can so as to keep what vision I currently have for as long as I can.

Additionally, have noticed a decrease in my mobility; but, I assumed that it was due to aging; not, thinking that my gait mobility decrease might have anything to do with my getting sick. 'T'is something to consider, though.

I have increased spasticity when I get sick as well. It is harder for me to move and I get tired so much more easily. I have the same issues though when I am over tired or push my body to hard. The problem is that when I am sick I pull muscles very easily and even though I may be over the illness I was experiencing, the muscle soreness seems to linger for much longer.

Has anyone noticed that changes of weather can cause more spasticity?

When I got home from church last night round 2200 hours, it had become quite cold. I took my supplements, ate supper and went to bed with me crutches next to the bed. A couple of hours later, awoke with the most agonisingly, horrendously severe muscle cramps and spasms from me toes all the way up to me thighs in both legs. Tried to get up to walk out the cramps and spasms with me crutches; but, could not even get up, let alone walk. I concentrated very hard sitting up with me feet on the floor; but, me muscles were so tight, feeling very hard and deformed [almost like rigourmortis but I was not dead]; trying to get me muscles to relax. The left leg came back in about 15-20 minutes, but it took round an hour for the right one so to do. I was crying out in pain. Finally, was able to get back to sleep. An hour later, same thing happened again but this time it was the left leg which took about an hour to come back, getting the right leg back in about 15-20 minutes. Went back to bed and concentrated very hard on not moving. Finally woke up after getting about 4 hours sleep. But, when I started walking with the crutches, my left leg/foot were rotated inward, walking on the outside of my left foot, toeing in, because I had cramps/spasms in the medial side of me foot. Gradually, over time, noticed that my gait sort of returned to its normal pathological state. Whew!

Anyone else get this type of cramps, spasms when the weather turns cold, becomes dry [low humidity] with low barometric pressures?

Well, they say getting sick has to with the immune system acting weired, so, maybe is has some weired wffevt on cp.

I also get kin of a chill from time to time, but I never get sick, I don't Know why.

But, what armextenders
was sying, about decreased vision
it seems to be a problem with cp, I have the same problem.

I don't know if this would be helpful, But there is a supplement that might helpfull for cp called "Viatrin" I take it, it really helps with vision and all the other problems that that come with cp

Thanx, Guitargod!

Sounds like something I'd like to try; but, seems a bit steep right now because of my budget. Saved the site in Bookmarks and as a .pdf file on me hard drive.
