List of Headaches [CD spoilers]

I'm assuming you are referring to the part in CD where he says "Screw Winter's Rules" and suddenly felt himself paralyzed again. I don't think she's making his body "forget" that it's got a severed spinal cord. She actually healed it. It's been established that the Fae can do real healing on those they have power over. Leah did it to Harry in Grave Peril, and there is no reason to think Mab would be less capable. Also it was worded in Harry's agreement to her that she heal his body, and Mab is a stickler for the letter of the agreements she makes. Besides, his body wouldn't keep working normally with a severed spine, it would still need to be repaired before it would function for him. It's more likely (to me) that his sudden paralysis in that scene was Mab's way of reminding him to obey her rules, that she owned him, and he better not forget it.

As far as I understood Harry's conversation with Butters, there is a big problem with Mab's interfering with Harry's natural feelings of his own body. Harry doesn't feel pain, injuries, broken spines, ... but they are there nontheless. I am not sure that Mab would be able to really "heal" him -- healing is more a power of Summer. But Winter can numb you down very effectively until your body is able to heal itself.
By the way: Very interesting that Winter is not able to stop the headaches caused by the parasite. All other pains are repelled.

it kinda references that the WKM is just a really big bandage though too.

in some ways, sure. but his spine? if it had failed, he would have instnatly hit the floor and splat. I think it was more a gentle reminder that she can unheal him, too.

Except that Winter can heal him, and in fact has healed him in the past. As I cited before, in Grave Peril, Leah healed his concussion with a kiss she didn't make him just forget it, she healed it. When Harry went to the hospital later to get it looked at, the doctor got pissed off at him for wasting her time with what was clearly a "weeks worth of healing" scar on his forehead. This wasn't him ignoring the injury, the injury was flat out healed, by an agent of Winter because she had power over him
