Avatar m tn I already said it before and I recommend that you read the forum at its widest. I have not had a cold since I had PATM, nothing of any disease, only sometimes I cover one side of my nose, I do not have any infection in the skin. Nothing.
Avatar f tn Researchers have found that sugar, even just 1 teaspoon, impairs your immune system by 50 percent for up to a few hours after consumption. And if you eat a little bit of sugar now and then throughout the day, your immune system will be impaired by 50 percent ALL DAY LONG!

1262322 tn?1287412786 Since several years my immune system seems to get worse and worse. Wheat and dairy cause stomach pain and skin reactions so I try never to eat these products. But I also had uveitis three times in the last three years. Skin rashes - apparently caused by stress, extremely bad flues, constant tiredness... and don't get the wrong idea, I'm no wimp and I rarely complain. I'm just wondering, is there anything we Aspies should take to help our immune system?

This is often monitored by ‘absolute neutrophil count’, available in his Complete Blood Count (CBC test). If this is the case, medical intervention may be required. Preferably, an injectable drug called Neupogen is ordered to encourage production of white blood cells.
Avatar n tn I hope you are having better luck with the med then i am. I have heard mixed things about it so who knows. For you immune system take Zinc pill but dont exceed more then 90 mgs and take a multi vitamin. Go to you local nutrition store and ask them they are really helpful.... i.e.
Avatar f tn When I get sick with a cold, or any virus that invades my body, my immune system attacks it and I get better. Because I have had HepC for so long, and my immune system has constantly been trying to battle it, doesn't that mean that it has not had the same strength to battle other illnesses at the same time? When I look back, before I knew I hade HepC, everytime I even got a cold, it took me about 2 to 3 weeks to get rid of it and everyone else in my family was over it in 4 to 5 days.
Avatar n tn I am very worried, as I am being treated for a UTI and my papsmear results came in and the Doctor left me a mesaage to discuss my results. I'm thinking of every scenario possible.

Avatar m tn t think it is a good indicator of the overall health of your immune system. Everybody responds differently to the virus and while a person with a weakened immune system would likely have a bad outbreak, a bad outbreak does not indicate a weak immune system.
Avatar m tn In any sort of way, is it possible that a poor immune system can cause fainting throughout someone's life?
Avatar f tn Hi. I have a friend who has a weakend immune system due to medications from a transplant. She is now worried she contracted an STD from her boyfriend who cheated on her. She is not showing any symptoms although she still plans on getting tested. We were curious, however, if she is more likely than a person with a regular immune system to show symptoms or not?

Avatar f tn I know that is not chronic drug use but I am not really informed on the effects ecstasy or cocaine have on the immune system and I was just wondering how much (if this was possible at all) a person would need to use for to cause them to be considered possible late seroconverters
663901 tn?1232649671 But another side is most of us get sick far more easily, we often do not eat as well as we should, look after ourselves, sleep as well as others or exercise properly - its a combination of factors but some medications can depress the immune system yes, and depression itself makes people sick.

Avatar f tn ve read some posts on the internet that someone with a healthy immune system is less likely to have outbreaks is there any truth to that? Should I take immune system boosters? I have HSV2 and have never officially had an outbreak but have neuralgia on the back of my leg. I started taking Valtrex a couple months after the leg pain continued and it went away. I'm just trying to make sure I am taking all the precautions on my part to avoid spreading and having any recurring symptoms.
Avatar n tn Is there any correlation between immune system strength and the time that antibodies start to produce during the window period, in the HIV+ cases? In other words, the stronger the immune system, the earlier the antibodies start to appear? The reason I am asking this is that, I heard if the immune system is weak or non-existant, in case of sever cancer, the antibodies start to be showing up later during the window period(maybe later than three months).
1504101 tn?1299155264 Anyone else feel like their immune system takes a hit when starting an exercise program or continuing one? I feel like I get the flu after exercising, not just the common muscle aches. I've been landscaping my yard these past few days and, after bathing I literally get chills, but I don't have a fever. I'm seeing my endo today and will mention this weird symptom, because I had it before diagnosed with hypothyroid and my TT.
