My first attack was in 2000. I am now a week into recovery of my 5th attack, having only had the 4th in january. I have had mri's, blood tests and xray to see if there's something other than just a virus that's causing it. I'm coping really well considering, will be glad when I've finished course of steroids and anti viral. Not sure how many more reoccurances my positive attitude is going to keep going for. I was wondering what the most number of reoccurances people of had is.
