Was meaning to post on this topic for quite awhile; I was wondering, somewhere was brought up a question if werewolves ever stop shifting for old age? I started to wonder if the shifting process may also stop for illness or an injury of some kind.

Imagine an Old person right now, it seems as though werewolves live longer and healthier but eventually a werewolf is going to get old. It’s not so much of age here, but the fact is that they are going to get weaker. Would a shift be lighter on them because they aren’t so capable of a transformation? Could they at one point almost stop altogether besides subtle things? Would the virus ever live its self out causing them to stop changing? (Assuming your theory of the werewolf disease resembles or is a virus.)

If a person is ill from something will their body cease to change? To what extent or how strong must an illness be to stop them from shifting that current moment or full moon? Could another disease, illness, or virus run over the lycanthropy virus, temporarily or permanent?

How injured must a person be to not change? If someone has been hurt I don't want to see the jamboree of what he's going to look like shape shifting into a werewolf. What about certain bone replacements, my dad has a metal pole in his right leg, what about that?

Those are my questions and concerns, and I thought I had more. Answer away for me please!

Or how about this: An older werewolf is able to shift, right up into the point where the stress of the shift, combined with their advanced age, kills him/her/it?

i think werewolfs are just like humans in the case that as we get older, we get weaker, they wont be able to shift cause it can kill them or thier bones could get damage but might heal agien, but healings starts taking longer and longer to do asthey get older. as for virus....just like us, our immune system gets weaker. ofcourse there immune system would still be good enough fro an ordinary virus out there, lie the flu or a cold.
