I'm beginning to think so. How many of us have had adequate immune testing to know whether or not we have some primary immune deficiency? Not many, all told.
Certainly we've seen low NK cell function (Klimas, Bond Uni), and I'm betting I'm not the only one with CD deficiency given how many of us have persistent viral infections, chronic bronchitis, or chronic sinusitis.
It's gonna piss me off if a diagnosable T-cell (CD8) deficiency, indicated by chronic bronchitis, multiple bouts of pneumonia, persistent ebv symptoms, and catching everything under the sun, was missed by my GPs all these years. I mean, I've been telling my GPs for decades that my immune system doesn't seem to be right and they just blew me off. I mean, jeez, what are we paying them so frickin' much money for?
Can you tell I'm in a bad mood tonight? Baby didn't get her nap today.
same, ebv/cmv mono with sinusitis etc, doesnt seem alot of treatment out there from PID other then treating infections directly and immunoglobulins. Might be why they cant find 'ONE' cause of cfs/me.
cheers!!!
