An immunodeficiency dilemma

Postby Get Real! » Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:33 pm

An immunodeficiency basically means that something’s gone wrong with your immune system and it has started acting weird (abnormally). The immune system’s weirdness may range from “unable to fight off attacks, like viruses” to “attacking the body by mistake” (false alarms).

The latter is what I suffer from and it sucks big time!

My immune system doesn’t seem to have problems fighting off the usual culprits for I honestly can’t remember the last time I had the flu or common cold, so I’m pretty confident it does its job in this department.

My problem is exactly the opposite in that the immune system is overzealous… meaning it overdoes it and sometimes gets things wrong and the result can be horrible.

Sometimes, out of the blue it decides to attack a certain area on an arm or a leg or multiple, because it is convinced that there’s a problem in that area when there’s absolutely nothing wrong!

I often find myself telling my brain… “Hey Bozo, get the fuck away from that area because we don’t have a problem there!” …if only it would listen!

Once such a screwed up immune system sets it’s “mind” on an area of the body it’s very hard to get it to calm down and let go, so herein lies my dilemma…

Does building up the immune system repair it so that it stops getting things wrong or are you only making it stronger and more aggressive in attacking you? So far I’m finding the latter to be true!

And is it not a conflict when… on the one hand you take immuno-suppressants to calm it down so that it stops attacking you, while on the other you seek healthy products and supplements to make it “better”?

It’s somewhat comparable to placing a juvenile delinquent in a gym to preoccupy their mind with sport but the kid just gets stronger and overconfident and just better at beating other kids up… I think we call that counter-productive!

I actually fear my immune system more than I fear Covid-19 because if I ever catch this virus all hell is gonna break loose for I fear that my insane immune system will not only beat the living daylights out of Covid but it’ll also beat all my vital organs to a pulp!

It’s like having a big bad bully roaming in your body always on the lookout for a fight and if there isn’t one… no worries it’ll create one!

And thus concludes my immunodeficiency dilemma… how the hell do you treat such weird shit?

Doctors throw their hands in the air with this… but then again throwing their hands in the air is all they ever bloody do!

By now you will have guessed that I don’t really have much respect for “modern medicine” because despite all the technological advancements gifted to the medical world by engineers (electrical, electronic, mechanical and others) they’re still fucking useless IMHO!

If you walk into any modern hospital you’ll see COUNTLESS pieces of electro-mechanical devices gifted to the medical world to help them make some sense out of people’s medical problems yet… they still can’t figure anything out! :roll:

How many more toys and aids do these useless oafs need before they can start actually curing people? :evil:

As time goes by I sense my unhealthy growing resentment towards the medical world and that’s not good for my health… now I gotta calm down before the big bad bully notices and starts taking out a kidney! :?

From what you said, my opinion is this:

a) Keep the healthy diet and supplements. This way you make the correct response of your system stronger. There are two responses in your system. The correct one that uses antibodies. You have to keep that one strong. The other one is not getting stronger, because (most probably) is not actually an over-reaction of the good response, but a totally different and faulty mechanism.
So imo if the good response that uses antibodies were not triggered, while the bad response was trying to destroy tissues you would be dead by now.
Your good response is doing a very good job in both repairing the damage and kicking the bad response away from the area it affects.

b) So how to fight the bad response? Again all I am saying is just my opinion. Watch very carefully how it starts. Also how it ends. Write down all possible reasons you might think of. From what you said I figured that the bad response is affecting skin areas. That's a very good sign.
I am almost convinced it will never affect internal organs, because otherwise it would have affected them already, and we know that damage in internal organs is usually irreparable.
In general you have to become your own doctor. Think for yourself, and question everything the doctors say. Because most probably they are wrong on the very basics.

c) Talk to other people having the same decease like you. Who knows they might have discovered something.

I would also question the idea that the immuno-suppressants "calm down" the bad response.
What I think they do is just suppress the good response making the symptoms look better. It's something like the medicines that kill fever...

Isn’t the thyroid related to growth hormones?

I’m average sized so I never thought that might be an issue. :?

The suppressants are the only thing that can provide the much needed relief from the agony.

It’s either suppressants or you have to kill yourself, and I mean that!

Over the years my wife used to bring home countless colds and flues from work as a school teacher, yet I would never catch anything that lasted more than an hour or two and we would sometimes wonder how come.

These days I know that there is such a thing as having too strong an immune system… so strong that it can be to your detriment!

But a good immune system should be more balanced… you should be able to feel illnesses as you catch them, you should be sick sometimes for a few days because that’s how things are meant to work.

If your immune system is knocking out illnesses just minutes or hours upon infection (too fast) then there’s probably something wrong with you like I was experiencing!

It may be great while you’re young but this bitch will probably catch up with you when you’re older and you’ll pay with compounded interest!

According to your link it does affect bulk/growth so I do remember something about it! See? :)

My size has remained pretty constant since I turned 18... tallish and thin always.
