Its the medicines we take to control or "modulate" this dread disease that "dampen" our immune systems.

I worked in the prison systems for 20 plus years, and NEVER had the flu, or any of the bugs that made their way around. Started on Copaxone, and I get every cold in town. I avoided church today, but it was due to the heat, not the flu.

That stuff is scary!
