These kind of incidents are interesting because no one knows what starts this. me, i think it was a virus, but my husband thinks it may have been somethin i encountered in hawaii, like mold

who knows … maybe someone will figure it out. 🙁

Unfortunately, it is my understanding that everyone recovery time is different – and as such no one is willing to provide a timetable.

I can only tell you my progess – within 2.5 months I was walking well enough to go on a trip to Vietnam – which was probably not the brightest decision but I am a little head strong and won’t let anything get in my way. At the same time though, I did get tired quite frequently.

I think the first 2-3 months were the worst for me as I was constantly tired.
Thereafter, I began walking normally and my progress (eg strength gain) steadily improved. I think by about month 6-8 I was back to 90% strength.

I would heed everyone’s advice of making sure to not push too much, but instead listen to your body and rest alot.
