It seems my immune system is stronger and each time the flu or colds go around I might seem to 'start' it but my body seems to fight it off! I have been really healthy as far as flu and colds! I was just thinking of that very thing during the flu and cold season last Fall! Good point to ponder!

The answer I've gotten more than any is that it is a one time episode(in most cases) BUT we each have to relearn so much because the lesion in our spinal cord blocks what used to run freely from our brain. We have to learn how to reroute the messages and sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. That is why some of us have gone from total paralysis (in my case from the chest down) to being able to walk even tho we cannot actually 'feel' plus we suffer with constant pain, spasms, and temperature sensitivity. Each one of us are so different. A lot also has to do with the degree of the 'attack'. A lot also has to do with the amount of PT that we have done. So many questions, huh? It's going to be interesting to read all of the other's answers.

Do we have weak immune systems or did we merely have an episode in which our immune system did not work properly...a one time (for many of us) thing? Rob in New Jersey
