*In my case---Devic's NMO---I do, in fact have an extremely weak immune system. Because my immune system continued to attack my spinal cord and optic nerves, it became necessary to *shut it down*. Right now, it is depleted by chemo. Even something so trivial as a cold has the potential to escalate and take me out. That being said, you are right, however, that this is not the usual case for a TM patient.* ** *Gracie*
