They would probably fight the viral infection. I have had TM for two
years now my lesion was around T-10 and I am still in my wheelchair,
lots of ups and downs and set backs, but you sound like you are doing
well. I have an appointment with a nuerologist on Monday to try and get
my pain levels under control. Hope you have good recovery! Know that
there are lots of people to answer your questions and pray for you here.
