Professor Edwards may correct me here, but it's very hard to do without comprehensive tests. That is why both items were combined into one option. Once we have more data that may change.How can you distinguish between this and people truly not getting a cold?
Okay this question made little sense. How can you distinguish between a healthy immune system, and one that doesn't react appropriately, giving the illusion of never getting infections?
E.g. if everybody else in the house has a cold, you don't but your fatigue goes through the roof, that's a possible indicator. Positive response to anti-biotics is an indicator.
E.g. if everybody else in the house has a cold, you feel exactly the same would gives us different clues.
E.g. was able to work it out due to: rise in blood sugar, tiny amounts of very elastic mucous, slight rise in body temperature. It took me weeks though and required close observation.
For now, my mind is on 'symptom recording' kept as simple as possible so that we can start tracking what symptoms go together. The hope is that once we can correlate symptoms.
In short, if I could separate those two events symptomatically, I would do so.. Right now both would be 'lack of infectious symptoms' at a time when others were infected.
A useful exercise would be to correlate the symptoms with lab work so we can identify which is happening how often.
I know from personal experience that the two things are horrendously hard to split apart, hence my reluctance to assume anything. This stuff is like banging your head against a brick wall isn't it?
Most obvious question, do you understand the nature of the problem? I suspect you do but wanted to check I am not missing the point....
