I've had it happen twice now, that when I have the flu, I am absolutely pain-free. Does anybody else have this happen?

If so, would you e-mail me at cboyles AT aol.com?

I've not had the flu since I've had my SCI so, I can't help you with your question.

Just wondering... is it better to have the flu and no nerve pain or to have nerve pain and no flu?

No & I wish! Unfortunately it just seemed to make those body aches in the lower joints just seem that much worse.

I just got over the flu last week. No,,, pain was AT LEAST as bad as usual,, plus I was miserable,,, and hurt in new places, too.

If it made the usual pain go away,, I still wouldn't want to go through influenza to get there.

But that's just me.
