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 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?
1262322 tn?1287412786 I have Asperger's Syndrome. 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.

Avatar n tn What can I do to try to head it off before I get sick? Is this normal or do I have an immune system issue?
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).
1253197 tn?1331209110 In a nutshell, menses strengthens the immune system. If you have a normal immune system, then your body will be more effective at fighting off infections. But, if you have an autoimmune disease, then your body will be more efficient at fighting itself, thus increasing the symptoms of the autoimmune disease, itself. Very interesting.
Avatar f tn The symptoms include excessively painful cramping before and during your menstrual period. Make a note of when the menstrual like cramps during exercise occur – if you find they fall around your period, you may wish to get your thyroid tested. Hormones Unexplained cramping during exercise can be a result of hormones. Menstrual cramps are caused by hormones related to your period, and intense exercise may trigger a hormonal response during other times of your cycle.
Avatar f tn t know if this is related, but starting in 2014 I was diagnosed with Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura, in which my immune system kills my platelets. However, I seem to have been cured of it recently. Now that I am going to go live by myself for college, I'm really worried about my menstrual cramps. Pain killers don't help much because I faint anyways. How can I deal with this? I'm scared of missing classes and important things or injuring myself. Any tips would be so great!
