hi
@Learner1 ive had high ana levels on and off and there is a history of autoimmune issues in my family. ive also seen benefit from other things that regulate the immune system.
those things coupled with the fact i was going nowhere by doing nothing, my dr said he was willing to prescribe it to see what happened. it definately makes a difference. i feel much of the overwhelming exhaustion lift within hours.
i have previously posted about it before. maybe i just have to get the dosing right or look at an immune modulator that works in a different way, but there is definately something here worth looking into. fo me at least. just not sure what the next move is.
im curious as to why small doses seem to knock down my immune system so quick and why it appears to be increasing.
not sure about immunoglobulins or nk issues. at a guess it would appear i have some cytokine issues, its also been suggested by drs before, though no tests were done to confirm it. i dont think mold is a problem.
infection, well who knows. that many different ones and tests for them its impossible to say for sure. ive felt a big improvement from certain abx before but it was most likely from the immune modulating and anti inflammatory effects.
ive taken high doses of other anti virals and anti bacterials without any effect. ive tested positive to past infection for ebv, cmv etc like most and also to mycoplasma and equivocal to borrelia but was told its insignificant.
my illness began with a bout of the worst stomach cramps ive ever had. was 17 and parents took me to hospital twice fearing appendicitis. stomach seems to function normally now but diet, probiotics, sometimes using my bowels, yogurt do have a positive effect on how i feel, so it seems to support the theory there is an issue with the immune system within the gut. enterovirus maybe?
