11. Mine is an immune
Fri Jun 14, 2013, 06:38 PM

deficiency that's rare. And fibromyalgia and allergies and asthma. Normally allergies and immune deficiency don't go together. But with this particular immune deficiency, they do occur together. And being treated with the same stuff they give the other immune deficiency patients makes the allergies even worse, which in turn causes more respiratory infections. But it does help other infections.

It means I have to take antibiotics daily for life, as well as inhaled steroids and all sorts of other crap. Not to mention the fibromyalgia treatment and migraine treatment. Sometimes I swear it's a wonder I can converse above a grammar school level.
